I've shared my life with both dobies and rotties, , and Love them both~! The dobie I have now is SO sensitive lol, , we call him grandpa :))) But he's in top of things when it comes to being a guard dog, , even now at 12 yrs old with hip
My rottie taught herself to alert me when my infant son would have seizures, , she saved his life many times and for that she'll always hold a special place in my Heart💗

It's ok man... everyone makes mistakes. Haha. Just kidding, they're both great dogs. Adorable puppy you have there!

I had a Doberman growing up, he died of cancer around 20 years ago and I never had another dog after that. He was the best, smartest, most loving and protective dog.

Doberman has to much energy... I take mine on a 4 hour long hike and when I get home they still have energy 😂 the only thing I don't like lol

[manav..m]

I was too confused between rottie and dobbie but at last I chose dobbie..
An intelligent, energetic, loyal, obedient and a muscular dog..
Your videos and comparisons are great, love Ur videos..

I had a dobie when I was younger, champion bloodline, huge beautiful, prolly the most impressive doberman I have ever seen. He was extremely smart, funny, obedient and loyal. Then we got a bullmastiff boxer, ridgeback mix from a friend that couldn't keep him anymore. This dog was a couple years younger, but still an adult. They played a lot, but the doberman was kind of an asshole. He was constantly bugging him, punkin him for food, and reminding him who the alpha was. He never pushed it too far, he was just a smart dog and he enjoyed being a dick to this other dog. Don't get me wrong, they enjoyed eachother much of the time, and we went on lots of adventures, and they became friends an played. One day when this bullmastiff mix was a littler older and in his prime, they were down at the beach playing tug of war with a stick and it got heated (instigated by the doberman) and the mastiff just snapped and nearly ripped his face off. I was punchin him in the nose, kickin him in the gut, anything I could do and he wouldn't let go. I finally got him to let go and the doberman lunged at him to try to get a bite in, the mastiff brushed it off, grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and flipped him on his back and then went for the throat. I pulled him off at that point, thankfully, but it was a close call. The mastiff btw was around the same weight, but a little shorter than the doberman, about 24" 100 lbs. The doberman was around 30", 120 lbs, both athletic. Anyways, I'm not sure a dobie is a good dog to have with a fighting breed. The dobie uses intimidation, growling and snarling to gain dominance, but they are more bark than bite. The mastiff knew what to do and easily dispatched him. After that day, he became the most alpha dog I've ever seen. He never messed with other dogs, just had a calm confidence about him. He would never start fights, but he's been in a few with other alpha dogs fuckin with him at the park or in the neighborhood, and he destroys them quickly, before I can even stop the fight. I hate dog fighting, but he's the most natural fighter I've ever seen. Back to the doberman- that wasn't the last fight they got in either, because the doberman wouldn't accept his loss and wanted to still be alpha. Eventually he gave the mastiff respect, but it took a few ass whoopins. Moral of the story, don't keep a doberman with a fighting breed, even if they're neutered, it still can be a problem. It's like an immovable object, meeting an unstoppable force. Obie, the doberman died early of a heart condition and the alpha dog Roscoe is 12 years old and still in perfect health, strong and alpha as ever lol. Actually, we didn't learn our lesson and got another doberman, this one a rescue that was dog aggressive. I know, you must think I'm crazy, but I love dobermans and this dude was beaten, abused, neglected and needed a home- no-one wanted him. Well, I worked with them and used what I learned from the previous 7 years and they have become good friends, and only had a few scruffs, not even full blown fights. The doberman accepted him as alpha and they live peacefully till this day.

You can't go wrong with a Rottweiler! Great choice! My Rottweiler protected me and my family for over 12 years back in the 90's. I was living in Colombia South America and at the time it was very dangerous. My dog saved my life several times! R.I.P. 😞

[cheezeit]

You're very balanced and rational in explaining both sides and how it applies to you. We're pretty lucky to live in countries where we're able to make these choices. Thank you for your perspective.

My family had several Dobermans while growing up. I remember the first, his name was Baron and he was a very large Warlock black and tan. Very obedient, protective and a great family dog. After that we had a Red, , a blue and a few blk & tan's. All great dogs but, never measured up to Baron. The one negative thing about the breed I've found is they all seem to get a little sketchy when they get older. As a kid I never trusted any of them. You could never run or play around them. They would nail you. Hard! After I left home, I found the Rottweiler. Love a first sight. They were everything the Doberman was and more. Rotties are very trustworthy and loving on top of everything else. I've had 4 Rotties over the years and the only negative is they don't live long enough. All died of cancer before the age of 10. My last only made it to 7 1/2 years old. My heart can't handle another Rottie...

[jodyandmerlin]

I’ve seen tons of Dobermans get along with other dogs 🤷🏽‍♀️

[raywebb]

Dogs best thing on earth, Dobermans just a cut above the rest.

[argentinedogo]

Hey Zeke, your good man no need to explain your choice against other breeds, you made a great choice! I have a Argentine Dogo who can fly or I mean is fly.

I have a Rottweiler right now which I love. But I remember when I was 2 years old our neighbor had a Doberman Pinscher that they would let me play with all the time sometimes not even being supervised very closely. I remember standing up on my tiptoes trying to hug the Doberman pincher "Percy" around the neck. Percy the Doberman Pinscher was the first encounter with a dog I had ever had in my life. So Ive always loved Doberman Pinschers. But my husband had fantastic experience with his previous Rottweiler. I love my Rottweiler and I have no regrets. The most well-behaved most well-rounded and most intelligent dog I've ever known in my life.

Dobermans simply require more work than Rotties. They are very athletic, and for their size, are powerful protectors. Dobies are always watching, thinking and trying to please their owners. But they can be a hand full. Mine could open cabinets and doors, and could hurdle 5' fences easily. He loved to play outdoors, but loved to be inside with me as well. Dobies are great car riders, and mine did well on a leash. He was alone in the house a few hours until my wife came home from work, so we crate trained him to keep him out of trouble.
My step-daughter's Rottie was never trained, and was a spoiled brat. She basically took over the house. She jumped up on you to greet you and wanted to be in your lap when you sat down on the couch. She weighed well over 100 lbs, so this was a big problem. She did not have a mean bone in her body, but was very strong willed. At age 5, she developed a mass on her chest. A year later she had to be put down.
So I lean more toward the Doberman because of my personal experiences. Whatever breed you choose, get them some professional training. Remember, shelters and rescue groups are full of adult dogs that need a home. Consider this when choosing your next family member.

You've just describe the attributes of a Doberman Pinchers.

[tyrannotherium]

My goal is there when I move out I can get some Doberman and then when I’m in my late 30s or 40s I can get myself a Rottweiler

[heidiedgely]

I'm glad that you have highlighted the positive aspects of Dobermanns, I own two and can tell you they are fantastic dogs, mine are European, as I live in the Uk. Unfortunately you are so right about the health of Dobies, the current main problem is DCM (heart disease). Where you are wrong I believe (as I own them and I know), is that you do not have to crop and dock them (mine are not) and they still look fantastic, in fact they look softer and less scary. Cropping and docking are done for the benefit of humans not the dog and it is unnecessary and basically I believe it is mutilating something that you love, why would anyone want to do that? Another point that is wrong (sorry ) is that they don't do well in multi dog households, I'm sorry to tell you but they do and can live happily amongst other smaller and bigger dogs as well as cats. Dobies do need a lot of love and attention and are basically big lap dogs who love a cuddle and adore their owners.
Now I understand your love for Rottweilers, they are fantastic dogs, but personally I would take the Dobie every time, you just have to make sure that their parents have been tested as clear for all diseases and have good longevity. It's their intelligence and spirit that keeps me amazed, they even have a sense of humour I swear. Your pup looks gorgeous and I wish you a very happy life together.

I chose a Doberman over a Rottweiler years ago and don't regret my decision. I'm on my third one now a European, first two were American. There is definitely a difference between them. I couldn't imagine life without one.

[K.T-]

I never noticed how small Dobermans necks are, and actually if they left the ears on and the tail, he'd look like a greyhound dog... 😂

[arnettthayer]

When I was four a Doberman out it's tooth through my cheek, the owners were family friends for decades and saw that dog so many times and BOOM out of nowhere. This is why I definitely didn't pick a Doberman over a rottie. (Biased I know)
