Best Answer

Both German Shepherds and Dobermanns have their strengths and weaknesses. German Shepherds are a Pastoral breed originally used for guarding flocks, hence the name 'Shepherd'. Dobermanns were bred to be guardians of people and property. Today, German Shepherds are used for guarding just as much as Dobermanns. German Shepherds are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia and Dobermanns are particularly vulnerable to Heart disease. Both breeds have great working ability and stamina and are hardy enough to live outdoors (provided a kennel is used). German Shepherds are easier to acquire as they are more numerous, but a Dobermann can still be acquired via a private breeder.
