Yes, it is a real shame, Ginger. I'm quite saddened by peoples' attitudes or mis-informed notions about, not only dobermans, but many of the breeds categorized as dangerous.Welcome to Doberman Talk, and congratulations on your new addition!
That's a shame that large breeds get bad publicity in Hong Kong; the Doberman sure does elsewhere as well, just for being a Doberman. I'm jealous of all of your parkland!
Audrey, we live in Central on Hong Kong Island. Which, as it sounds like you would know, is pretty much as full on as it gets, in terms of being heavily populated. Though we are planning a move to the NT in the foreseeable future.Are you living in HK Island, Kowloon or New Territories? I would think the NT would have more open space for hiking, running. I can't imagine having a large dog in the urban areas which are SO heavily populated!
Definitely a challenging commitment - you got guts! There are some beautiful beaches on HK Is but probably don't allow dogs? Anyway, wish you the best - not easy, for sure!Audrey, we live in Central on Hong Kong Island.

It's definitely a challenging commitment, as you can't simply open a door to your backyard. But on the plus side, Nyah has probably met over 500+ people (conservative estimate) on her walks so far.
