what do you think of doberman characters?

I completely agree with your statement that the doberman breed looks ferocious but very childish. But it is very sad to hear that the life span of doberman is very less. Probably God should have stolen the life span of really ferocious animal and given to doberman breeds. I have not experienced growing a dobberman but recently I have been familiar with playing with a one year old doberman puppy (but its appearance doesnt look like a puppy). Its height is almost two and half feet and has lengthly face, hands and legs. It jumps on me like a lion chasing a deer and hunting it. But once it jumps on me, it doesnt want to bite me, it just wanted to play with me... I think utmost care must be taken in maintaining such breeds. I am not sure about the food habits but probably the below link might be useful... http://www.my-doberman.com/my-doberman-link-partners.html
