German Shepherd is my favorite or the three. They are incredibly smart, not too needy, protective, and great with kids. (I’ve had one growing up my whole life) They are very reliable dogs.
The "better" dog is the one that best fits into your lifestyle. All 3 breeds are easy to train, fast learners, obedient if properly trained and good with kids if properly socialized. As far as "guarding" not of those breeds are guard breeds. Guard breeds are those bred to protect property. However if you mean a breed that will protect its family if needed and bark to alert of strange visitors the Golden not so much but the GSD and the Dobie would both fit that criteria
Actually, I think a German Shepherd trains better. They’re known for their ease in training. I have a 3 1/2 month GSD and he’s awesome! He comes when he’s called, sits, stays, gives, knows outside, inside, get in, You’re okay, down, up, etc. I’m really surprised how easy it’s been.
Plus, GSDs are known for being a great pack animal and good with kids. He’s only 3 mo. old and if I sneak in the backyard, he’ll bark until he knows it’s me. I LOVE German Shepherds.
Golden retriever:
Kids: Great with kids
Training: easily trained
Guarding: Not its best
Obeying: will Obey
Doberman:
kids: Good with kids, as long as it is introduced as a puppy.
Training: easily trained
Guarding: Works as a great guard dog
Obeying: will obey
German Sheppard:
kids: good with kids
training: easily trained
guarding: will guard you with its life
Obeying: will obey
I would recommend the German shepard. They are great dogs.
Okay, I breed Dobermans and for god sakes. They are just as good as either dogs. No you do not have to introduce to kids at a young age. They are great loving companions, these dogs go on trail rides with me and I have ridden 5-10miles sometimes. They work with the elderly, that’s how well trained they are. I can take them to a family event and kids hang all over theses dogs. At 4 months my red and tan doberman puppy Zavier could sit, stay, down, and fetch. They love the water, I have taken them to Big Bear in California and have gone cliff diving with me (25ft).
Your asking a question that isn’t logical. All three of those work sport dogs. Your asking everyone opinion. The working class dogs are all smart equally across the board, just some are better in other areas.
Dobermans are considered guard dogs because that’s how the germans portrayed them. But really I have seen a ankle biter that can guard just as good as any dang 100lb dog, with cut ears and a docked tail.
Training takes time for any type of dog. The fastest way to train a dog is to use one word commands, and repetition. Your dog of whatever breed will catch on. The speed of learning depends on you. Dogs are always eager to please their owners so give them the correct amount of time and attention and they will learn to play dead.
A dog’s personality and your technique determine which trains faster. Actually picking the right technique for your dog’s personality would be a better way of putting it. I own a German Shepherd and they are known for their discipline when properly trained. They love to have a job and will remain focused for training. They are also extremely loyal.Family members have golden retrievers and with proper training their pets are also well behaved and good with children. I can’t speak for dobermans but I know German Shepherds and golden retrievers can make wonderful additions to the family as long as time is devoted to their training and care. Other aspects you may want to consider to further narrow down your choice, grooming, the size of your yard, common medical problems, and reputable breeders in your area (a must!). Their are excellent tools for determining the right kind of dog for your family on line and their are also books to help train your dog in a quick and productive manner if you have never raised a puppy. These books will also help you pick a puppy from the litter. Little tests you can use to help you choose a personality that will best fit your family. Puppies will give you little clues that will be indications of what they will be like when they grow older and how those puppy behaviors will transfer over to adult hood. We used the puppy for dummies book with our german shepherd, a book on German shepherds and classes at our local pet supply store. She was easy to train but required lots constructive play and attention which is normal for any dog. Happy dog hunting!
