She's not humping. She's standing over Sophie in a show of dominance. I would think you would know that.

It looks to me like she's humping in one part of the video, but regardless, the fact is the PUPPY is trying to control the situation when YOU should be controlling the situation. I would think that YOU would know that.

I cannot believe that you would allow a Doberman puppy to play like that with a small dog. It's all cute fun and games right now, she's only 7 weeks old. I can assure you that when she gets bigger, it will be far from cute; and can be downright dangerous.

I'm not playing these games with you people. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. The arrogance, know-it-all attitudes and rudeness that oozes from some of you is just plain pathetic.

Alrighty, that saying 'if you can't say something nice, don't say anything" applies to superficial situations. For example, if someone looks horrible in a yellow shirt, no need to share that. However that saying does NOT in any way shape or form apply to speaking on behalf of those that cannot speak for themselves. That's point of this site; to be the voice of the Doberman. I can assure you that if Dobermans could read, they would applaud the members that spend valuable time defending them, and they would support the responses to your posts.

You should keep in mind that many first time Doberman puppy owners find this site, so when people like you post things that are clearly not in the best interest of the Doberman breed (e.g. buying a puppy from a byb, sticking up for a byb, allowing a young puppy to hump a small dog and exert its dominance, etc), the members have no choice but to disagree with the post.

JMO: The DT Manifesto is pretty clear about the intent of this site; you may want to revisit it and read it carefully.
