Doberman Pinscher

When you think of Dobies, you probably think of a muscular, lean dog ready to protect their owners at all cost. While they do make great guard dogs, they’re also loving companions but need to be socialized from an early age.

Exercise is also important for Dobies — without it, they can become bored or agitated, which can lead to aggression.
