Here’s Chase a d Bruno fetching the ball. Chase is the German Shepherd dog and Bruno is the little 3 pound fat teacup Yorkie with stumpy legs who thinks he’s a German Shepherd also. Bruno got in trouble for wondering before I got both of them in. 😍😂

I had a black, short haired Shepard, Nero. I love my dogs, had a Husky, and various mutts. My lab now is 12 years old and the smartest of all my dogs, he reads me. I plan to get a Doberman when we move, and ambe another mutt.

Doberman Pinschers, often simply called “Dobermans,” are a breed of domestic dog known for their intelligence, strength, and loyalty. Here’s a closer look:
- Origin: Developed in the 1890s in Apolda, Germany, by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, a tax collector who wanted a protective dog.
- Physical Traits:
- Size: Large; males 26-28″, females 24-26″ tall
- Weight: Males 75-100 lbs, females 60-90 lbs
- Short, smooth coat; black, red, blue, or fawn with rust markings
- Traditionally cropped ears and docked tail, but natural look is gaining popularity
- Temperament:
- Highly intelligent, ranks as the 5th smartest dog breed
- Loyal and protective of their family
- Alert and fearless, making excellent guard dogs
- Can be aloof with strangers but not typically aggressive
- Energetic and need plenty of exercise
- Training:
- Highly trainable due to intelligence
- Need firm, consistent training from a young age
- Excel in obedience, agility, and protection work
- Early socialization is crucial
- Health:
- Lifespan: 10-12 years
- Prone to certain issues: cardiomyopathy, von Willebrand’s disease, hip dysplasia
- Regular vet checks recommended, especially for heart health
- Historical Roles:
- Originally bred for personal protection and police work
- Served in both World Wars as message carriers, sentries, and rescue dogs
- Today: police, military, therapy, and companion dogs
- Exercise Needs:
- High energy; require at least an hour of vigorous activity daily
- Great jogging or hiking companions
- Grooming:
- Low maintenance; short coat needs occasional brushing
- Regular nail trimming and ear cleaning
- Living Space:
- Adaptable to apartments if well-exercised
- Best with a yard to run and play
- Family Life:
- Good with children when raised together
- Tend to bond closely with one family member
- Not always good with other pets, especially same-sex dogs
- Pop Culture:
- Featured in movies like “Resident Evil” and “True Lies”
- Often portrayed as aggressive, which has hurt their reputation unfairly
- Notable Owners:
- William Randolph Hearst
- Marlon Brando
- Kurt Russell
Dobermans combine brains, beauty, and bravery. With proper training and care, they’re not just protective guardians but loving, loyal companions. Their “tough guy” image doesn’t do justice to their affectionate nature with their families.

I had a German Short Haired Pointer when I was a kid and they were very friendly dogs. Could never be a guard dog. Was a runner because of the hunting breed. Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers are great natured dogs and friendly. Love the water and swimming. Doberman Pinschers are one of the most beautiful dogs on the planet. Love the cropped ears, black and tan, rust and tan, and the blue. The big head German bloodline Doberman Pinschers are smart, loyal, easy to train, and great protectors of their master and family. Great with kids and very protective. Very easy to train.

All my life I had short-haired German Shepherd dogs until ten years ago where I fell in love with long-coat German Shepherd dogs. German Shepherd Dogs (GSDs) come in two distinct coat types: short-haired and long-coat. Both are purebred GSDs but have different physical attributes and care needs.
Short-Haired GSDs:
- Coat: Double-layered, dense, close-lying
- Undercoat: Thick, providing insulation
- Shedding: Heavy, especially twice a year
- Weather: Better suited for warmer climates
- Grooming: Less frequent brushing needed
- Standard: Meets AKC breed standard
- Show Dogs: Typically preferred in show rings
Long-Coat GSDs:
- Coat: Longer, softer outer coat
- Ear Tufts: Often have fluffy ears
- Shedding: Still heavy, but less noticeable
- Weather: Better in cold climates
- Grooming: Need more brushing to prevent matting
- Standard: Previously faulted in AKC standard
- Popularity: Growing in pet homes
Similarities:
- Same size, structure, temperament
- Both highly intelligent, trainable
- Equal work capabilities (police, service)
- Similar health issues (hip dysplasia)
The choice often comes down to personal preference in appearance and grooming commitment. Both make excellent companions and working dogs.

Certain breeds like German Shepherd dogs, Doberman Pinschers, Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Austrian Shepherds, Border Collies, don’t need formal training. They pick things up on their own. They are naturally smart.

Chase, Gunner, and Missy went grocery shopping and of course Chase needs to be the jackass of the afternoon. I loaded the groceries and need to get into the drivers seat so we can leave the grocery store and he would not move. He’s really acting like he’s the human and I am the dog. Finally I told him let’s play fetch in the parking lot and he moved. He was pissed when he found out he had to get back in the rear door right away.
