Our first Doberman Pinscher!
I’ve always thought Doberman Pinschers looked kind of intimidating… big, slim, fast, and… pointy. Sharp ears, sharp muzzle. Dangerous. It didn’t help that I was knocked around by a neighbor’s Doberman when I was a kid, although even then I knew that that dog, in particular, wanted nothing more than to lick my face. He had pretty hideous breath.
This guy was a little more restrained. Quite friendly, in fact, in a not-terribly-attentive sort of way. I suspect he had something else to pay attention to.

Obviously an extremely alert dog.
I’m sorry you haven’t had the opportunity to meet my doberman, Logan! He’d be giving you kisses! (minus the stinky breath!)
