People say that German shephards are really good protection and guard dogs if that is so then why do people also say that Dobermans look more vicios especialy when so man gsds are in the police?
Dobermans were bred to be look vicios wile German shephards were bred to protect,for eg a gsd will only attack if it truelly believes that the owner or its family are in danger wile a doberman just wants to fight everything that moves, a meen u could go up to a German shephard and pet it and it wouldn't bite but if you got aggresive with the owner or family it would probably kill you pluss German shephards resemble the wolf wile a doberman resembles a monster
