A Doberman is an interesting dog breed.  It's interesting how it's portrayal has developed over the years.
I love my Dobermann so much.  It is the prettiest dog with it's long muzzle.
Oh, you have one?  That's awesome!  Most of my experience with them is movies and stuff, how are they different from how they're portrayed in media?
You know, it is a very different dog.  I think like any other dog breed they can be made mean if they are treated poorly, and they look scary with cropped ears and a docked tail.  I didn't do that to mine, and mine is very well treated.
I'm glad you didn't crop your dog's ears or tail.  I understand the reasoning behind it for a working dog, but when it's a home pet I can't see the point.  I bet it's super pretty, are they playful at all?
It is a beautiful dog when left in tact, and I think the US should take a hint from other countries that have made it illegal to clip them.  But he is a wonderful playful family dog!
