And what are the possible explanations for the license plate mystery?

Sounds like a lot of covering for their buddy. Way too much foolishness going on in this town. We need a do-over from the top down.

Our Doberman is insulted to be equated to this guy. Maybe a Basset Hound/ Pit Bull mix would be prudent.

Good point. Apologies to all Dobermans. This guy is a badly trained Doberman.

Actually Doberman is a great name. It's a breed that has suffered from inbreeding and the dogs from the inbred lines tend to be high strung and psychotic. This does not impugn the whole breed but I have been attacked by a a doberman who came onto my family's property. And it's the only breed that's every attacked me.

Distempered Dumberman. Stupid, mean and crazy is a bad combo in any breed. But, seems like selection criteria at PPD.

The Humane Society does not want Westerman!
Maybe we could get Cesar Milan, "the Dog Whisperer" to train him, since CM says he "rehabilitates dogs and trains people".

LucsAdvo,
Your ignorance of the Doberman is only surpassed by your slanderous attempt to impugn a regal breed. Your assertion of inbreeding is old, tired, and unfounded.

Doberman pinschers became Marines during World War 2 and fought in the south Pacific saving many lives. Many gave their lives to protect their fellow soldiers and none of the dog patrols were ever ambushed. (See War Dog Memorial, Guam)They entered the Marine Corps as privates and were promoted, some outranking their handlers.

This guy at PPB does not even come close to such service. And you should get your facts straight.

Dale, with all due respect I did not impugn the whole breed, just the individuals in the breed that are unsound. And there are some or those, whether you like it or not. If I'd wanted to be mean, I could have brought up the fact that some insurance companies won't give homeowners policies to those who own Dobermans because of their perceptions of the breed's temperaments.

If anyone is ignorant, it's those that have to defend every one of something even the bad parts. Kind of like those who think that someone with a badge can do no wrong.

You need to look at national data to make the insurance company assertions regardless of anecdotal examples, and see Dobermans are far down the list of dog issues. Chows, Dalmations, Pit Bulls are way ahead. No one is asserting a one size fits all, just that your profiling leads to ignorant conclusions.

Stalking and hitting one of your elders is unacceptable! The police had my sympathy until now, but they've lost it with this. If the whole union stands behind this nincompoop, they must all think it's fine to beat up senior citizens, so they all must go! We must do whatever it takes to get rid of police and fire pensions, even if that means bankruptcy, because we can use the money we save to hire emotionally qualified officers who don't do drugs or beat up seniors.

Siberian huskies classed as biter? Unbelievably stupid. I have never encountered a Siberian that I'd class as dangerous. And no, I have no dog in the fight. I just happen to have worked with around 100 of them over the years, and they're way easier than many of the other variants. Rat terriers, such as poodles and related variants, are much more difficult.

Sweetest dog I ever met was a doberman. Sherry slung herself over the couch, sherry talked you up, sherry had a great expression of mystic benevolence always in her eyes. sherry made a person feel good about being alive.

Too bad the rest of the Dobermans I come across always look like they want to bite off my hand.

i'm afraid sherry makes having a dog impossible, because who could compare?
So now i just watch my cats hunt each other around the house every day.

Please don't impugn the dogs at the Humane Society (any of them!) by dumping Westerman in with them!
