    Dobermans are smart compassionate and less dangerous than all children!

    I must strongly protest that the Doberman Pinscher breed has NO business being on a ban list for concern over attacking. This is a very stable breed which is greatly misunderstood. Quit determining which dogs are vicious just because Hollywood and paints them as big, bad dogs. The Doberman is NOT an insecure, issue-prone, aggressive, provoking dog! Talk about stereotyping. Boy, I thought we used information in this day-and-age to help make important decisions. Please get your facts right and don't abandon the very the breed that stood *obediently* by you in war!!

    just look at my dobes to see how soft they are. A vicious dog could be any breed from the smallest to tallest. It is how a dog is treated that determines its temperament

    There are no 'bad dogs' just bad dog owners.

    Our family had dobes when I was a child and they were the kindest dogs we've ever had. We also had 2 other dobes that went to war with our servicement. One of them gave his life for his handler; the other came home to police work. I now have a chihuahua and he is more agressive than the dobes were. I wholeheartedly agree that "The ban should not be breed specific."

    We absolutely love dobermans. They are intelligent and loving dogs. Only their masters can turn them into something less desirous which is true of any breed. They make great family pets, watch dogs and more. We, in fact, got our loyal, loving doberman, Toby, from a friend/family that lived across the street from us in military housing. Her dog, ...

    This country is fast being taken over by Marxist's. This decree is absolutely ludicrous. I would let 10 Doberman's in my house before I would let one HSUS supporter.

    the same dogs that served in wartimes, saving lives of our men and giving their OWN... taking the hits an getting injured in the foxholes with our men@ These dogs are HEROS!a loyal loving breed! ANY DOG with an irrespoisible owner can be aggressive and bite! BItes are usually the fault of the OWNER ,NOT THE BREED> to just ban Doberman's is propagating fear that has no basis. I have owned 4 Doberman's in the span of 30 years. Each one had been loving. loyal, smart and well behaved without any aggression.ANY dog needs proper care and training from it's handler to make it a "good citizen". TO make a family give up a member is cruel, they are already sacrificing so much. Ealuate each dog on a case to case basis to be fair. Dont lable dogs,any more than you should judge people by race, religion, or sexual preference. I can't believe you are being so backward thinking. I would not give up my dog. I'd think twice about enlisting or re-upping.

    to ban a dog that became the mascot for the Marine corps and saved so many of our fighting men at the risk of their own lives is just plain dumb.

    How could this ever be considered. This breed has served the US Army and should NOT be deemed as a dangerous breed. Shame on whoever did not do their homework on this wonderful breed.

    WTH?! Dobermans served our country to fight against facism. It's not the breed that's the problem it's bad owners. Stop BSL.

    I feel people are taking this too far. What's next the poodle? A breed with such intelligence. Maybe you should ban the owners and not the breed.

    Why ban a breed that has served our nations military for many years from living with the very people they serve? It makes no sense. Dobermans are kind, loving, and loyal family pets and it is completely idiotic to have them on a list of banned breeds. Have these people ever MET a Doberman???

    Talk about ignorance. I own dobermans and I also foster for Doberman Rescue. I have never seen an aggressive dog yet. They need to do their research.

    unbelievable that dobermans are banned from military installations after they served so well as war dogs. These noble animals are not aggressive and should be removed from the banned list
