One interview with Manfred Lerner - "A Real Dog Man" -Bayern kennel

"DSM: When you speak of the Dobermann's lack of adaptability, what exactly do you mean?

LERNER: The adaptability has to be seen in the connection to being unscarred, which depends on the nerve. Some Dobermanns are very sensitive to a new situation, which they haven't before "rehearsed" how to act. It is impossible to make them deal with new situations, because in any situation, something different will happen. This is when the dog shows you his nerve. For many dogs, it is a problem to remain stable."



"DSM: How do you rate the Dobermann in intelligence?

LERNER: Regarding intelligence, better [or] instinct, I would like to say that the Dobermann is one of the most intelligent breeds. He is always watching his environment, and checking the atmosphere out, deciding whether everything is okay. They give you the impression that they understand every word you say, and I can tell you that they do!"



"DSM: Do you feel, (as I do), that the Dobermann's beautiful appearance is also a curse - that many people just breed them for their good looks, and don't think of temperament?

LERNER: Yes, many people who have a nice house, a big car, and many other things to show who they are, are interested in the Dobermann because this breed portrays noble birth and elegance, with their impressive appearance. Most of the breeders today, focus on beauty. You can find many more very big, beautiful Dobes in national and international "beauty shows" than working Dobermanns. It has been proven by statistics, that tall Dobermanns with a very large chest cavity can die already at the age of 4 years. My goal as a breeder, is first to have a Dobermann with a good, strong character, which at the same time is also a beautiful dog in structure, but without sacrificing their health. My oldest Dobermann (from first "E" litter in 1975) died at the age of 14 years. The Dobermanns which I have bred, are reaching an average age of 10 to 11 years old."

- We look at it and we do not see it; Its name is The Invisible. We listen to it and do not hear it; Its name is the Inaudible. We touch it and do not find it; Its name is The Subtle.-LAO-TZU

Mr. Lerner is an amazing man. One of the few who does see The Dobermann in its intended form,he hears the strength of its heart, and he touches each dog with deserved respect.

[Weinberge]

Yes, Mr Lerner is an amazing man, more that one true breeder, more that bredeer one dobermann lover.
I like one simply and complete definition who dfeined one true lover: "My goal as a breeder, is first to have a Dobermann with a good, strong character, which at the same time is also a beautiful dog in structure, but without sacrificing their health"

"First" not 'last'.
