Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Doberman a good family protection dog?

Yes. A well-bred, professionally trained Doberman is loyal, affectionate, and gentle with its own family while remaining a powerful deterrent to intruders. Priority 1 Canine only places Dobermans with proven, stable temperaments.

Are Dobermans good with children?

Yes, when properly socialized and trained. Our Dobermans are raised around people and evaluated around families before placement, so they are safe and dependable in a home with children.

Are Dobermans aggressive?

No. A properly bred and trained Doberman is confident and controlled, not aggressive. Protection dogs are taught to respond to genuine threats on command and to stay calm and neutral in everyday situations.

Doberman vs. German Shepherd for protection: which is better?

Both are elite protection breeds. Dobermans are faster and more heat-tolerant with a sleek, intimidating presence, while German Shepherds are heavier-coated and extremely versatile. The best choice depends on your climate, lifestyle, and handler experience, so we match the individual dog to your needs rather than the breed alone.

How much does a trained Doberman protection dog cost?

Price depends on the dog's training level, pedigree, and the protection work it is certified for. Fully-trained personal and family protection Dobermans are a significant investment. Contact Priority 1 Canine for current pricing and availability.
