    My Dobby started making a “nest”3 days before my son arrived and had a phantom pregnancy when he arrived home, if someone knocked on the door she would stand in his bedroom door protecting him, they were lifetime friends

    We grew up with a dobie - we were 9/10ish when he arrived as a puppy. He was a fantastic boy and very gentle with us - he never ever charged around us or knocked us over etc unlike certain breeds that should never be around kids full stop. He was also great with our kitty - our kitty was a proud Siamese boy and he would steal the dobie’s bed. Of course our dobie boy was so polite he’d squeeze around the kitty and they’d settle for sharing lol.

    My dobie wasn't around many children at all. However, (and i always watched her) I had a party one time and one of my great nephews "fell" on the ground (he wasn't even 2 yet) she didn't really know him but she kept circling around him as to protect him.....I went over and picked him up and she couldn't have been happier!! She was the best!!! Miss her so much!!!

    I don't mean to bore you...I did comment on another of your videos about how many Dobermans I was raised around and also had in my own home. I'm now 72. When I was a toddler, two of our Dobermans were my "babysitter". My mom would put me out on a blanket with one dog on opposite corners of the blanket. The dogs would not allow me to venture off. They would pull me back to the blanket when I tried. The same two taught me how to walk. I would grab each my the nap of the neck, they would help me stand and I would take steps with them. They are an incredible breed!!

      Hi - We're thinking about getting a Doberman, and we think grandkids will be on the cards in the next few years. Did you have any issues/concerns with your Doberman only seeing the grandkids sometimes (I'm assuming the grandkids don't live you with you fulltime). Just wondering if the dog-child bond still kicks when the child is not around all the time. Thanks

    I saw 2 very cool behaviors from my girl Dobie when my nephew was a baby. #1. My Dobie would sit up at attention like a guard at the entrance of the bathroom whenever my sister would bathe my baby nephew in the bathtub. She was like an Imperial Guard. #2. She would, ☝🏻on her own initiative, leave the house without permission , and jump into the van with my sister and my nephew and lick his face whenever they would drive away, and she made the most heart-crunching, heart-breaking cry whenever I wrangled her out of the van back into the back yard away from "her baby." It broke my heart, really. She wanted to escort "her baby." She only made that cry when we took her away from "her baby."

I would try to make her come back to her bed in my room but she would end up right back in the hallway!! We have lost her years ago & terribly miss her everyday.

    Very informative John. Just like any kind animal, kids of any age need to be taught how to respect and act around animals and be kind. Parent need to be aware of this from the beginning. It's a bit more work. Had Dobermans before my kids came along and it was so worth it to see them growing up together. ❤

    Go for a walk with family and friends say at Christmas and the Doberman will spend it's time running from the front the 'pack' looking for danger then run to the back of the pack again looking for anything odd. It want you to stay together and protect you. Even if with friends the dobe has not met before they are included and become part of the protected pack. Doberman LOVE this - it's what they were meant to do.

My dobie has raised a epic patience with her and she always is taking care of it by offering the food, the water, the toys... When she is not at home, he always gives me good mornings first for cuddles and food o water, but when she is at home cuddles and kisses to her are first, food can wait. The only thing is that I have to keep watching Dobby not no wake up her too early!

You can’t even understand what it means to be truly protected unless you’re fortunate enough to experience it firsthand…Cheers!!!

Especially a female named Brandy who died the day I was born & our current female Josie (who's big enough to be mistaken for a Goliath). From what I heard, Brandy took care of my older sister when she was a toddler. Josie stands guard by me when I'm having a seizure or goes after an animal she views a threat (like a snake or doe) to me.

Our Dobie (17 months old) hasn’t grown up with children in the house, and despite our socialisation efforts she has become more and more stressed when children are within her field of view - specifically the noise young children make - which triggers her to bark, often making the children afraid!
