When many people think of the Doberman Pinscher, the image brought to mind is of a vicious, aggressive dog that is dangerous around children and strangers and difficult to handle. On the whole, this has never been true to the breed, although there was certainly some cause for concern in the past. But has the Doberman truly earned this bad reputation, and is it still true of the breed today? In this article, we'll take a closer look at the temperament of the Doberman Pinscher and how it has changed in the last few decades. First, we must consider for what purpose the Doberman was bred. The Doberman Pinscher is one of those happy few breeds that has a clear history and we know the exact circumstances under which it was developed. When Karl Friedrich Louis Doberman was developing the breed, he wanted a dog to work as personal protection. The dog needed to be large enough to be intimidating but not so large as to be too difficult to handle and strong enough to take on a thief or a mugger. He had to be smart enough to be trained and to understand commands and have the discipline to wait until the command was given to act. All in all, the dog had to be both intelligent and fierce. Dobermans went on to become very popular as a guard dog, police dog and even war dog. There is no question that the Doberman was indeed an aggressive breed, especially when many dogs were encouraged to be so. Its image in movies and television only helped perpetuate the idea of a vicious, dangerous dog. Around twenty-five or thirty years ago, this started to change. The turning point may have, in fact, been in thanks to a Doberman judge. In an article about Dobermans on dogchannel.com, Audrey Pavia suggests that it was Peggy Adamson, a well regarded Doberman expert and conformation judge that turned the tide. In the middle of a prestigious dog show, Adamson disqualified a well known Doberman contestant for displaying viciousness in the ring. Although it may be a coincidence, around the same time the attitude regarding Doberman temperament began to change. Since that time, breeders have consciously tried to breed out some of the harsher qualities of the Doberman such as aggressiveness and encouraged its better qualities, such as its confidence, intelligence and sense of playfulness. Although Dobermans may always be suspicious of strangers, since this is one the hallmark characteristics of the breed, they should be able to accept them readily when they see that their handlers are comfortable with the stranger. Today, much of the sharpness that was formally associated with the breed has been bred out, but this doesn't mean that there aren't a few sharp Dobermans still out there, or that Dobermans don't have the potential to become so. There are two factors that will help shape the temperament of any dog - where the dog comes from and how it will be raised. If you're interested in purchasing a Doberman, you should pay a visit to a breeder, look see how the puppies and its dam are living, spend time with the puppy's parents, if possible, to get an idea of their temperament, and ask the advice of the breeder. Once you bring a puppy home, the rest will largely be up to you. Dobermans require a high level of interaction, play and exercise and the lack of these could turn any puppy into a dog that will lash out at others. But if your major concern is the idea that the whole Doberman breed is too dangerous, you can put these fears to rest, as this is no longer the case.

Most people find it funny when their dog protects an item or its food from someone or another dog. Some even find it interesting. It might be Food, A chew-bone, or even when someone comes close to you. Most Dog habits begin from puppy stage. It was a behavior left unattended and later in the dogs life, It becomes a problem, both for the dog and the owner. Resource guarding is a very dangerous behavior. For example, An adult dog was brought to my house and i fed the dog. while the dog was eating, i was going to the door and immediately my leg got close to her food, she bit me on the leg. Now this is how dangerous the behavior can be. A dog with this behavior has assumed the position of a pack leader. He will guard whatever he consider HIS. Things like: Food Toys Personal space or sleeping space Leash Food or water bowl Puppy or other dogs. The truth is, A dog guards anything it owns. Dealing With Resource Guarding Resource guarding can be well contained if noticed from puppy stage. However, It can be managed at adult stage. here are some steps to contain this behavior. Training: The most important step after owning a dog is training. Training gets rid of most dog behaviors and makes them more well-behaved. Pack-Order: If a dog is preventing you from picking its plates, it has assumed the position of the pack leader. Re-take your position as the leader of the pack. Saying NO: With a firm NO make him know you aren't joking. pick up the toy and place it where he'll see it but cant touch.(If he doesn't listen, wait till he has left the toy.) keep it there for days. when next you want to offer the toy, make sure he sits before you offer the toy. Teach the leave-it command: This also helps. follow this few steps hold a treat your dog likes up and say "leave it". when your dog drops the toy, pick up the toy and give him the treat.

Imagine running your hands through your pet's smooth fur....and then you found a lump! was that a Tick? Ticks are dangerous, both to you and your pet. A Tick lays up to 3000 eggs and are transported by several means. Removing Ticks from pets requires carefulness. you don't want to squeeze or further infect your dog. Following this step-by-step process will help you remove the ticks safely. Provide where to put the removed tick: Crushing, Throwing it in the trash, Flushing wont help. It is preferable to get a jar containing alcohol or bleach. Get help: you probably might not be able to do it alone. Your pet might leave before you finish. Get a partner to help you hold your pet while you remove the ticks. Remember not to use your bare hands; Get a latex glove. ticks can carry infective agents. Removing the tick: With cotton-wool, rub the affected area with alcohol. Grab a tweezers and pick the tick as close to the pet's skin as possible. Pull it up straight. A few times, the mouth part of the tick is left on the dogs skin. don't try removing this, just disinfect it. Be sure to contact your vet if your dog has been overly infected with ticks. Do Not Hesitate. Ticks Can Kill Your Pet. source: http://www..com/2015/03/removing-ticks-from-your-pet.html |
