I was walking on the street with Elza and saw the lady who's around 60s stepped out of the door. As usual, I said to Elza, "Stop Elza. Stay" in my low key.
The lady noticed us and told me "How Scary!" I wasn't happy to hear that so responded lilke she's very friendly and no aggressive at all.
Then the lady said "No, no, not about a dog, but YOU! Sorry to say this rudeness but a woman with a big dog makes me scary."

What!!??
A doberman is not scary but I AM scary to that lady. What a day!

Wow! I get the same thing here in Tokyo. Actually, wherever we go in Japan.

I find it funny when people with small dogs pick them up whenever me and Ninja are walking down the street. We normally just look at them and shake our heads. :nicejob:

I always say,

"It isn't the dog you need to watch out for, but the woman that owns it".

 

[Dakotadobe]

Haha! You should have said, that's ok, I'm afraid of old ladies with no manners.

 

[PatchworkRobot]

haha that makes me giggle. I can understand finding somebody with a dog like a doberman scary.

 

[KCFilley]

If they only knew those little dogs usually rule the roost with these big bad dobies.

Now, stop scaring those little ole ladies. Behave yourself. LOL

I'm still trying to work out what to put on a tshirt that overall expresses that sentiment. "My dog isn't mean but I am"? "Pay no mind to the Doberman, but to the other end of the leash"? The possibilities are endless! :roflmao:

Toby'shuman, exactly! Her comment was surprised but I didn't hate it so much.

Dobermans were popular among Yakuza (mafia) 2 or 3 decades ago because of Doberman Gang movie. Now they like chihuahua though
Still some people think Doberman owner might be either mafia/mafia girl or rich. I'm out of these criteria:lol2:

Yeah, this statement on the T-shirt should be interesting!! Selling at CafePress?

Maybe why my friend was reported to the animal control. She has two dobermans and two labs. She sometimes walks her all 4 dogs on the street, wow!

See, I never considered that the Yakuza would've picked up on the breed. That makes some degree of sense.

Yakuza with Chihuahuas do not, however. :roflmao:

CafePress or Zazzle; I haven't had any CafePress sales anyway so was thinking of switching. I'll let you know!

I would personally take that as a compliment! I don't like or want strangers to approach me(you never know people's motives and these days people don't value other's lives for anything). Thanks to Prime, people generally leave us alone

Good job, Prime!
At night time Elza is a good guard too. The "hood" kids scare US, again, including me

From a distance Elza can be looked scary, a typical doberman style. However when people approach and look at her, they say "How cute! Bambi eyes!!".
Well, in a sense it is a compliment. Elza acts as a "Doberman promotion committee chairperson" I named and appointed her
