Do Dobermans do well with children?

Hello everyone, I wanted to share my experience in owning a Doberman with children. My family got a Doberman puppy when our children were aged 6 and 9, and over the years he has been an incredible addition to our family.

Our Doberman has always been very gentle with our children, and is very patient when they play together. We made sure to socialize him with children when he was a puppy, and also trained him to understand when it is appropriate to be protective and when it's not.

One thing to note is that Dobermans can be very active and they require a lot of exercise. We found that incorporating our children in his daily exercise routine (such as taking him for walks and playing with him in the backyard) has allowed him to form a bond with them and it's great for our whole family's overall health.

In my opinion, Dobermans can make excellent family pets with children when they received proper training, socialization, and exercise. However, I believe it's important to always supervise interactions between your dog and your children no matter what their breed is, to ensure everyone stays safe and happy.

Overall, our Doberman has been a wonderful addition to our family and I would highly recommend the breed to anyone considering adding a pet to their family.

Hello, I also have experience with Dobermans and children. I grew up with a Doberman in our family home since I was born, and he was my best friend throughout my childhood. He was incredibly affectionate with me and my siblings, and would often act as our protector when we were playing outside.

That being said, I do think it's important to note that Dobermans, like any breed, need to be trained and socialized properly around children. They are naturally protective dogs, and if they receive the right training, they can be gentle and patient around kids.

In my opinion, it's not necessarily the breed that determines a dog's behavior around children, but the individual dog's personality and training. If you are considering a Doberman as a family pet, I would recommend doing your research and finding a reputable breeder who breeds for temperament and who can provide you with guidance on training and socialization.

In conclusion, I believe that Dobermans can do well with children when given proper training and socialization. They can be an incredibly loyal and loving family pet, but it's important to remember that every dog is unique and requires individual training and attention.

Hi there! As someone who has owned a Doberman for several years with young children in the house, I can say that they can definitely do well with children if properly trained and socialized. From my experience, Dobermans can be extremely devoted and loving with their family members, including kids.

However, it's important to note that Dobermans, like any breed, can have individual temperament variances. For example, my Doberman is extremely gentle and patient with my 5 and 8-year-old children, but I have heard of others who might not have the same experience. It's important to take the time to properly socialize your Doberman with children and to train them to understand when it is appropriate to be protective or not.

Overall, I would say that Dobermans, when given proper training and socialization, can make excellent family pets for those with children. However, I would recommend doing further research and speaking with a breeder or trainer for guidance and advice specific to your situation.

Hello everyone, as someone who has had both positive and negative experiences with Dobermans and children, I thought I would share my perspective.

Growing up, my family had a Doberman who was absolutely great with kids. He was gentle, loving, and always patient with us. However, in adulthood, I had a friend who adopted a Doberman that was not socialized or trained properly around children. Unfortunately, this led to some serious incidents where the dog became aggressive towards kids.

Based on my personal experience, I believe that Dobermans can be wonderful family pets when properly trained, socialized, and raised around children. It's important to remember that dogs are individuals and every dog has its own unique personality and needs.

If you are considering a Doberman as a family pet, I would recommend finding a reputable breeder who breeds for temperament and who can provide you with guidance on training and socialization. It's also important to supervise interactions between your dog and children, and to teach your children how to interact appropriately with dogs.

In conclusion, while Dobermans can do well with children, it's important to understand that every dog is different and requires individual attention and training to ensure their behavior around children remains in check.
