Works for me. The signature looks like it could be Rouleaux or Mabel.

Maybe he's just posting pictures of things he likes? When I do a google Doberman search for funny pics or something, most of the results are from DT. Meh ... it's still creepy.

Definitely looks like there's some DT pics on there. Thanks for bringing this to our attention Sam. I'll make sure to report it.

I have 2 mutual friends with this person both are Doberman people, and there are lots of pics on there that I recognize and of Dobermans both living and dead..... I think he just loves Dobermans.... I am not saying he should be snatching peoples pictures but when I think about it I have probably been guilty of the same thing when I post a picture of a beautiful dog from a friends page just to show everyone what a really gorgeous dog looks like

The problem a lot of us have is the way they share them, in some cases completely cutting out watermarks.
They aren't being shared correctly with proper credit given and they are being posted to other Doberman fan pages by them were people assume it is theirs and that is wrong.

I know most of these foreigners just don't get the concept that what they are doing is wrong. But I didn't take a picture of Mabel for it to be some italian strangers profile picture...
I get that it's the internet but still.

I have also seen stolen pictures on BYB or Greeder's pages with claims being made that the pictured dog is one of theirs or an ancestor in their bloodlines. Lowest of the low.
Definitely!

Mabels breeder isn't the best but seeing one of her relatives being depicted as the dam of an extra crappy byb trailer park litter on puppyfind was disgusting

I also got page not found but when I typed in his name it took me to his page and it seemed all his pictures were public..... I hadn't thought about the crediting the pictures thing myself... not that I ever claimed they were mine or removed any watermarks, or even any comments attached to them.... I just hit the share button, hopefully that is what this person is doing and there wasn't anything sketchy going on. I see pictures of Eros all over the place and seldom do I see any one even naming him.... they tend to use his pictures whenever they are talking about being a "breeder of Euro Dobes".

He's not sharing them though, he's uploading them on his own and in some cases cutting out the watermark. He's not giving anyone any credit and is also sharing them on other dobe pages where it is being Assumed they are his property...

I guess some folk think that if you put a photo on to the internet you don't mind what happens to it after that.

I didnt wade through all of the 1500 or so photos in his album, but I think my Toby boy is safe, mainly because he is hardly a good example, lol.

If this person is claiming the dogs in the photos are his, be it directly or indirectly surely anyone with half a brain will realise by the sheer volume of pictures he either owns half the population of the Doberman breed in Europe etc or someone is telling porky pies.

Of course, if he is simply selecting one or two dogs and passing them off as his own on other sites. That is both not nice and surely has to be stopped, though how one would do so I do not know. The internet is a wonderful thing, but in the hands of shall we say 'less than stellar individuals' it is Christmas, Hannukah, Eid al Fitr and a hundred and one other celebrations come all at once.

I became alerted to this person when a doberman facebook page shared one of my photos under this guys name. And whwen I confronted the page and told them I was the owner of the dogs they simply told me that I should expect that when I post photos to facebook they become public. They also told me if I wanted to post it under my name they would share it as such.
I have a huge problem with this, no my photos do not become public property, they are still MINE! If it werent for the fact I want to monitor this certain facebook page for anymore stolen pictures of mine I would have unfriended them on the spot. However, they keep sharing photos from anyone and everyone, no matter the ownership. They ismply believe the photos belong to whoever's page they take them from.

When I want to share photos of other people's dogs, I hit the "share" button as is the correct way to do it.

The photo he took was never made public on facebook and it was only posted here and on Doberman-chat. That doesnt give him the right to take it as his own.

I would suggest anyone wishing to protect the photos you take to put a watermark in a position that it cannot be cut off the photo, either through the middle or very close to the image you are trying to protect. That way people cannot remove them.
I will be getting a watermark program for any photos I post on forums, I would hope that my facebook photos being set to friends only wont be stolen, as I refuse to share them on certain other pages from now on.
