I have only owned one Dobe so far but love this breed. I love what Prince has shown me and love everything I read about other Dobes. Here are some things I have experienced with Prince:
Appears fearless at all times...yet can be the biggest baby - hates rain, snow, wind and LOVES LOVES LOVES to cuddle
Extremely loyal
Determined
Territorial and protective of his turf
Extremely easy to train, learns commands quickly
Wants to please 110%
Thrives on praise
Very sensitive...no loud voices for this guy...DH & I bickering causes him to stay glued to us to find out what is wrong
Acts like a big goof and shows off when happy and excited
Very athletic with great stamina
Loves mental stimulation (Kong, treat balls, clicker training...)
Grooming is extremely easy for this breed. Shedding is very minimal if they are brushed on a regular basis. Coat is thin, so they need to be protected from extreme weather. Nail trimming needs to be kept up as nails that are too long will ruin a dobes form quickly. Thats all I got for now!
