Dobermans were originally developed to deal with people, not predators. Human beings are delicate and dainty things. It doesn't take much to take one of us out.

Have you ever seen an LGD in action? My dogs can run 35 mph (yes, I have clocked them), turn on a dime, & leap a 5 foot fence from a standstill. LGDs are every bit as effective against small predators as they are large ones. Mine are excellent ratters & can also catch birds in midair. They...
