| I only recently got a Dobe but I have had Boxers and GSD and I would be VERY concerend about a dog that bit anyone unprovoked!
A Dobe or Boxer should assess the situation, I would expect them to be on guard until they figured out if the "intruder" was friend of foe but NEVER would I expect a dog to run into a room and bite anyone just because she didn't know them.
So far Kinder will stand between me and the unknown person and look them over and as soon as I say it's ok she goes over for pets and head scratches. When someone comes to the door she stands alert, quiet, and watches intently, but makes no move to be aggressive in any fashion and I would not expect her to!
I think you have a serious problem on your hands...I have no idea why you think it's to be expected that a Dobe (or any breed) would automatically bite a stranger just for being a stranger. Thank god that wasn't a child she went after, but next time it could be! |
