I dated a girl with a large Pitt bull. Motherfucker was ripped too.
Was the dog muscular, too?

Well he said the motherfucker was ripped, so I'm guessing the girl had kids.

I have always found Dobies a bit high strung. If you want the attributes of Doberman but without the high nervous energy have a look at Rhodesian Ridgebacks. If it weren’t so damn cold here in winter I wouldn’t hesitate at getting another. Like Dobermans, Ridgebacks are follicly challenged and do not care the frigid cold -20 c or colder. Mine had a mini cordura horse blanket for the deep winter days as well as a heated dog house.
I always that the same notion from when I was younger -- that Dobs were temperamentally unstable. And they had that reputation, but I don't know if the breed has changed over the past few decades. The dog sites tend to not mention it. We've also thought about the RR, which is a noble and beautiful dog, but we don't know much about their temperament.
Thanks for the advice!
My RR was willing to learn and please. When a pup he was a bit hard mouthed but easily corrected. Never one to jump up like many pups and adolescent dogs. For a hound breed he was also smart. He was good with other dogs and with cats. He only barked when there was a good reason. As a guard he made his presence known but never territorial. I imagine though he would not have tolerated any harm to any member of the house.
He needed no grooming and I don’t recall him to shed much. An easy keep.
