Incredible work by this team

I wouldn't have ever guessed that. But my housemate's Dutch - I've never seen so much hair in my life. Dobes shed, but it doesn't float and fluff everywhere, just migrates to the edges and stays there.


My ex had a standard poodle. Awesome dog. If you shaved one down and did a silhouette of one next to a Doberman their physical self is almost identical. The biggest difference I found was that with the poodle you could just suggest a command and it would be done. My Doberman had to be told. If he ended the command in a ? or too softly, she'd just ignore him. If he acted serious, she'd be just as perfect as his poodle.
Poodles are very smart, but train very differently than Dobermans. They are much softer in temperament and don’t have near the muscular build. They can have nice drive but not with the intensity that the Doberman can bring. Picasso and the other poodles I have had in my classes do very well, but are easily distracted and want to be social. If they get a laugh in class when being bad or acting silly it will become a huge game, then will shut down if corrected for it, even if it is a small correction. Most have plenty of drive to bring back but they are just more temperamental in my experience.
 
This video came off of FB, so hope the link works.

Comment said "The first Doberman to ever pass PSA3 obedience, and passed 3/4 of his protection scenarios With Distinction or With Highest Distinction, missing his last scenario by just a couple points. Making breed and sport history out here! Benchmarks Egyptian God PSA2 and handler Alyssa Miller".

I personally don't know if this shows the protection scene that he failed or not. I don't know enough about PSA, except that it makes IGP look like a cake-walk. @Doberman Gang - I saw Masaya has bred one of her girls to him?
