This is a pretty good description of correct Doberman temperament. As we know, they are not all of good temperament. This is one big factor in reputable breeding and judging, striving to meet this standard, not easy.
We have talked about breeding upright ears into some dogs and talked about trained protection dogs and natural protection dogs. That is what gave rise to my starting this thread. This is only one page of description. I know I've seen so much more, but this is a start. If anyone is interested in getting a Doberman, or just interested in the breed, here's something worthwhile to read. I'll hunt around for some more stuff when I get time.
