First off if anything were to happen the Doberman would be blamed, furthermore like it or not many would rather just ban the breed period. I just wouldn't put my dog at that risk. Also many people just have nasty dogs and I don't want my dog picked on by one of those, and thus turn into a nasty dog around other dogs. Finally there are many male dobes that just won't tolerate another male.
Much better to find a few pals, whose dogs you know, and have play dates.
