I read a story of two Rottweilers killing a tiger

 

just because it’s written on the internet doesn’t make it true

The dobermans in see no evil here no evil we’re nice

Its a myth imo. There is a book written by a retired Texas Ranger who explains how they tracked illegals coming in from Mexico over scrub, rocks and desert. Fascinating reading and I would think that there was more chance of tracking that way than using a dog. I reckon a dog could track for no more than 12 miles a day in several short stints, in ideal conditions, with plenty of water available.

I was gifted a 6 month old saluki in saudi, and when I had it put down at 17 years old, the guy that gave it to me sent an 18 month old doberman to replace it. 

It wasn't a breed I ever would have chosen, but it would have been churlish and disrespectful to have refused it.

I ended up bringing it home with me when I retired, and I loved that bitch !

Faithfull, defensive, loyal, even the missus loved it and she has nothing whatsoever to do with my dogs.

I had the Doberman, (not my missus !), put down when her back legs went and she got the Doberman head wobble when she was 12.

Would I have another Doberman ? Probably not, but I have fond memories of her

Cheers.

That's like what used to happen in the canteen on nights when I let Jet in off leash. He would sit in front of the one with the biggest sandwich and just give him 'the look'.  Always worked

The people that own dogs treat them like anyone else would.

The Bedouin treat them as prized possessions.

I have an ongoing dispute with a local 'keeper, and some years ago him and two of his pals pulled me as I was walking over the two fields between my Allotments and house.

I had the Doberman and Delta, my little Beddy type with me. The keeper threatened to give me a hiding, showing off in front of his pals.

Anyhow, I leashed up the lurcher and called the Doberman to my side. I said you can try to give me a hiding, but you'll need to be good. The Doberman seemed to sense the tension and gave that stare and low growl that only a doban can..... I could see the confidence draining from the 'keeper so I just laughed at him and walked off. Would she have attacked him ? I don't know, but he certainly didn't want to find out !

Cheers.

'Protection' dogs sell for megabucks. Even 'guard' dogs trained by professional suppliers fetch enormous prices.

If I was younger I wouldn't mind entering the business. Seems easy money to me. All you need is a Web site, decent premises and a brass neck to ask big money for your dogs.

Tad concerned  as to why you ended you post to Wolfie with a kiss though.
