Hello everyone,
I am considering getting a new pet, either a Rottweiler or a Doberman Pinscher. However, I am torn between the two breeds because I am not sure which one has more emotional intelligence or sensitivity. I want a pet that is not only loyal and protective but also able to read my emotions and respond to them appropriately.
I have heard that Rottweilers are very loyal and can be protective of their owners, but I am not sure if they are sensitive to emotions. On the other hand, I have heard that Doberman Pinschers are very sensitive and can pick up on their owner's emotions, but I am not sure if they are as loyal or protective as Rottweilers.
Can anyone who has experience with either breed provide some insight into their emotional intelligence or sensitivity? Which breed do you think would make a better companion for someone who is looking for a pet that is both loyal and emotionally intelligent? Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.

Hello,
While I haven't owned either of these breeds, I have interacted with both Rottweilers and Doberman Pinschers and observed their behavior around people. What I have noticed is that while both breeds are very loyal and protective, there is a difference in their emotional intelligence.
Rottweilers tend to be more reserved and take time to bond with their owners. However, once they have established a bond with their owner, they are very protective and loyal towards them. They are great at sensing when their owner is upset or distressed and quickly come over to provide comfort and support.
On the other hand, Doberman Pinschers are known for their high level of emotional intelligence. They are very perceptive when it comes to their owner's emotions and will go out of their way to provide support when they sense that their owner is down. They are sociable and friendly by nature and form a strong attachment with their owner quickly.
It really comes down to what you are looking for in a pet. If you want a dog that is more protective and may take time to bond with you, then a Rottweiler might be the better choice. However, if you want a companion that is highly perceptive and emotionally intelligent, then a Doberman Pinscher may be a better pick.
