My dogs guard my home from intruders and varmints. All for two meals a day, a few snacks and a warm bed. Further they're good companions for walks and they pay attention to whatever I say. Not the best talkers but then again "bix nood" and "muh dick" isn't what I want to hear anyway.
I'm not an animal person but I babysit a Doberman recently and that dog is cool as hell. Will walk alongside you without a leash and is constantly keeping watch of everything. It would bark at stuff before I even see it and supposedly turns vicious whenever anyone unknown comes around the property. I never had a dog but am thinking of getting a Doberman just based on that dog's personality.
That's a good dog. I have to keep mine on a leash. Though the first dog I ever had I could walk without a leash and he would just stay by my side. I thought this was normal then I got another dog after the first one passed. Was I surprised.
Yeah that's why I'm leaning toward that breed. Most dogs I've known don't act like that either, a lot are more like babies that never grow up.
