hey, I rescued a 6 month old blue male doberman. A friend of mine texted me saying that blue dobermans will get more and more aggressive over time. He said his gf's blue doberman had to be put down because of this. The dog was obedience trained, and, also guard dog trained. They were, also, told by a trainer that it is in fact true that blue dobermans are this way. This is something I have never heard of, nor have I ever seen it in all the years I have been working with a doberman rescue.
So, how true is this? I would just think this might be a breeding issue, or even a training issue.
Just when you thought you've heard it all... The only part about this that may hold true is there are much more poorly bred blue dobermans than well bred ones, and poorly bred dogs are more likely to have iffy temperaments. The majority of dobermans are great dogs regardless of color and regardless of their breeding.
that was my thoughts. I just shook my head, and responded by telling him I would keep that in mind for the future. Just because one blue doberman got aggressive over time, that condemns them all?
to top it off, now the gf is getting a belgian malinois. Sounds like she wants a guard dog, so guess what, this will be trained the same way
Hopefully you and your gf have done a lot of research and are getting your Mal from a good breeder and you have training classes and plans in place. Malinois are a true working dog and need the constant training and work.
oh yea blue Dobermans are mean. Also if they don't have that bump on the top of their head it won't expand as they grow and the brain will outgrow the skull making them go mad. Dobermans will turn on their owner after they reach adulthood. come on someone help me out it has been a long day what else are these demon dogs accused of.
My guess is there was something much more serious going on with their dog and instead of taking it to the vet they just put it down. I know someone who had a similar issue and it turned out that the dog had a tumor and was sick and that's why it was acting out.
Dumb people used to say that red nose pit bulls were much more aggressive. Just another silly tale.
