What is it with the misinformation these days?

The AKC results for lifetime speed of Thor https://www.apps.akc.org/apps/fastcat_ranking/index.cfm?display are based on his 3 fastest speeds — 2018 at 26.63 mph, 2019 at 26.63. Toss in the 34.89 mph shown in the screenshot and the average hits 30 +- as shown in the lifetime ranking. AKC does not show an entry for that 34.89 mph from any sanctioned AKC events from 2016 to 2026.

Bottom line is — a Doberman was clocked at 35 mph give or take a millisecond and the Doberman Planet guy had it right.🤔 although 28 - 30 mph appears to be the most common high number for Dobes.

I have no connection whatsoever to John at DobermanPlanet but some small admiration for anyone trying to excel at an endeavor, building his youtube channel etc, its obvious he cares, even if he is a little dorky...

He's braver than me...!
And lets be fair- he is getting the word out on what a great breed, with cautions about be prepared for extra effort, cost, training etc.

He appears to be getting better at accuracy of info so while I can appreciate the best breeders and owners might quibble and moan over a misstatement or inaccuracy...

If he gets people doing their homework better, thats fewer dobes chosen on impulse, and fewer abandoned at the rescue at age two in the terrible dobeteens...

Just my $0.02 and ymmv.
PS: if you watch youtube a lot you'll notice other same related topics will show up like EMBs The Doberman Way...which is jam packed with highly useful stuff from someone with a LOT of experience...

Heres an oldie but goodie, for you new lurkers...
