If it's not a Doberman then it's just a dog!

"If it's not a Doberman then it's just a dog!" You can buy bumper stickers from America with this printed on them, and I have to say there's an element of truth in what they say. Throughout my life I've had 11 dogs - 1 Labrador, 4 Cocker Spaniels, 2 Jack Russell's, 1 Staffordshire Bull-Terrier, 1 cross breed, 1 Dachshund and 1 Doberman, all of them wonderful creatures. But of all these dogs the most individual of the lot has been the Doberman (closely followed by the cross breed). If you want a dog that can make you laugh even when you feel like wringing its neck, or a dog that wouldn't think twice about putting itself between you and danger, or a dog that will proudly parade around the garden with several pairs of your dirty underwear in its mouth, then the Doberman is the dog for you. And the dog for me.
