I have a red papered Doberman for stud, his name is Kane. He will be 3 yrs old in October, he is a very intelligent sweet boy. The recall on this dog is very impressive, definitely has someone behind the wheel if you know what I mean. He knows his place in the pack but also knows his job. Very calm and gentle with kids and all animals. He has all of the traits you look for in a family working Doberman.
