Description: Known for their intelligence and loyalty American Pit Bull Terriers make excellent, loving and protective companion despite the unfair press they receive. Some American Pit Bull Terriers are dual-registered as an American Pit Bull Terrier with the UKC and as an American Staffordshire Terrier with the AKC; however, this draws criticism from many who point out that the bloodlines have been separate for too long for these to be considered the same breed. Choose from a responsible breeder and make sure the puppy is properly socialized and handled. A minimum of training will produce a tranquil, good, obedient, companion dog.
Height: 18 - 22 inches
Weight: 30 - 80 lbs.

Doberman
With beauty, brains, agility, and loyalty, what other breed could it be but the Doberman Pinscher?
Today's Doberman Pinscher is one of the most popular and respected members of the canine clan. Developed first as police dogs in 19th Century Germany, this breed continues to excel as a watchdog, guardian, and protector. In addition, the breed is now remarkable as a guide dog for the blind, military dog, and pet.
The Doberman, or Dobe as he is now called by his friends, is a product of Germany. Herr Louis Dobermann developed this versatile breed in the Apolda region of Germany to suit his own need for a loyal, obedient, fiercely protective dog to accompany him in his nightly rounds as a policeman. Since he also worked as the local dogcatcher, Herr Dobermann had access to a wide variety of dogs to develop his large "pinscher" or terrier. Some of the breeds used to shape the Dobe include the pinscher (a smaller black and tan dog very similar in appearance to the modern Doberman and the Manchester Terrier), Rottweilers, and Thuringian Shepherds. Other breeds that contributed their genes are black Greyhound for elegance and sleekness, Great Dane, Weimaraner and German Shorthaired Pointer.
The resulting dog possessed an uncanny intelligence, bravery. loyalty, stamina, and protectiveness in a medium-to-large working dog with an easy-care, short, dense coat. It was with great pride that this breed became known as "Dobermann's Pinscher." The modern Dobe
Today's Doberman Pinscher has lost the second 'n' from its name and has mellowed in fierceness to become a family member apable of displaying great gentleness and devotion to children and other animals in the home. Having left behind his terrier roots, he has also dropped the Pinscher portion of the name in many countries.
In appearance, the modern Doberman Pinscher is elatively tall with males standing between 26 and 28 inches at the shoulder and females standing 24 to 26 inches at the shoulder. he weight of an adult dog will typically range between 60 and 85 pounds depending on size and sex. Overall, the Doberman should appear muscular, athletic and energetic. The ideal specimen should be squarely built with the height at the withers approximating the length of the dog's body from the point of the chest to the rearmost portion of the upper thigh. The back rises in a clean, well- arched, muscular neck to the head. The chest is deep and broad with a smooth line from it into a well-tucked up belly and loin. The legs are strong and possess good bone mass without appearing coarse. Dewclaws are usually removed if they occur. The tail is most often docked at the second joint within a few days of birth and is carried as an extension of the spine.
The ideal Doberman head is wedge-shaped with eyes blending in color with the color of the coat. Dark eyes are much preferred over other shades and should be relatively deep set. A Doberman's expression should display his great intelligence and vigorous character.
Of great importance in the proper appearance of the breed is the ear, and especially the proper cropping of the ear to create a pleasing shape and appearance. Ear cropping is illegal in many countries including Great Britain and Australia but many others, including American Doberman fanciers, believe that an erect, cropped ear enhances the appearance of this breed.
In making a decision on whether or not to crop the ears of your own Doberman, remember that it is a surgical procedure that is best done by only the most experienced veterinarians. For this reason, many breeders do not place puppies until after this operation has been done. Mistakes can be made that adversely affect the appearance of the dog. Following surgery on the ears, taping and propping to achieve proper healing and ear carriage is essential.
The Doberman occurs most typically in black with rust markings or red, actually a deep rusty red with lighter rust markings. Less common but also acceptable in the breed are steel blue or light fawn. Known respectively as blue and Isabella, these colors must also possess the rust markings of the other colors. The rust markings should appear on the muzzle, the throat, above the eyes, the front of the chest, beneath the tail and on all legs and feet. A small white patch less than one-half inch square is permissible on the chest but no other white is allowed. White Dobermans may not be shown as this is a disqualifying fault.
The coat is short and smooth and requires little beyond a good brushing or rubdown with a rough towel. Shedding is minimal and tolerable because of the shortness of the coat.
In temperament, the Doberman should possess a great intelligence and desire to please the owner. It is not unusual for this breed to produce one-man and one-family dogs because of their great loyalty. With their protective natures, Dobermans should not be left unsupervised with children. Many protective breeds will be very good companions for their own children but may be overprotective and misread the roughness and shouting of play as a threat to their own children.
As a working dog, the Dobe may display nervousness, destructiveness, excessive barking and other undesirable behaviors if it is deprived of exercise and training. This breed is full of quick learners and training should be undertaken as soon as possible after bringing the new dog into the family to cement the bond between owner and dog and to control this energetic breed. With their great capacity to understand and react properly to situations, the Doberman is quite adaptable to city life if it is given the proper training.
Exercise is critical for the health and well-being of the dogs. They were bred and born to work and have a great deal of energy to burn. Long walks and frequent play sessions in secure areas will make your dog fit and keep him from becoming nervous. A good romp or game of fetch in a fenced yard is an ideal way to keep your dog healthy and happy.
As wonderful as the Doberman Pinscher is, there are health problems that occur in the breed. As with any breed of dog, hip dysplasia is a real threat and any dog's pedigree should be checked to see if it's parents are from sound stock. Dobermans may also have heart problems, bleeding disorders, eye defects, skin diseases, and hypothyroidism. Bloat is also a major threat to any Doberman and owners are urged to consult with their veterinarian for advice on preventing this problem.
If the Doberman is the breed for you, the threat of a health problem is not a reason to avoid the breed. Health concerns should only inspire you to be more careful in finding a breeder committed to protecting and bettering the breed. Going to dog shows and reading dog magazines are both good ways to meet breeders and learn more about the breed. Talking to friends with Dobermans or who are active in dog sports may also help you find a reputable breeder.
With a little luck and a bit of hard work, you will find the Doberman for you. As your reward you will have a friend for years of happiness

My favorite is German Sheperd, as I do have one and his name is Max. I believe that its very important to take proper care of your pets health. A dog's health and welfare is always high on the list of any dutiful dog owner.

Not that I want to support the dogs thing, but that picture's a modern colour-up job. The relief as it survives is from a series which has lost all its colour. (You can see where the colour in the image runs unbroken over cracks in the stone. It is also carelessly done, as one horse has a yellow head and a brown body.) The enemy in the image is a Libyan, not a white European.
quote:The enemy in the image is a Libyan, not a white European
The same can be said about Perma-douche's pictures; Sudani's are Northeast Africans, not (descendants of) West Africans.
When are you going to stop running away from the questions I asked you?

They may have been dark skinned but most definitely were not Negroids. Their facial features look Caucasoid.

True they look nothing like the Negroid Greeks..
The Greeks are 40-60% Euro-Negrids!!!
South Tunisian HLA gene profile has studied for the first time. HLA-A, -B, -DRB1 and -DQB1 allele frequencies of Ghannouch have been compared with those of neighboring populations, other Mediterraneans and Sub-Saharans. Their relatedness has been tested by genetic distances, Neighbor-Joining dendrograms and correspondence analyses. Our HLA data show that both southern from Ghannouch and northern Tunisians are of a Berber substratum in spite of the successive incursions (particularly, the 7th–8th century A.D. Arab invasion) occurred in Tunisia. It is also the case of other North Africans and Iberians. This present study confirms the relatedness of Greeks to Sub-Saharan populations. This suggests that there was an admixture between the Greeks and Sub-Saharans probably during Pharaonic period or after natural catastrophes (dryness) occurred in Sahara.

Exactly Jari, Greeks are Negrid mongrells, just like all other Eurpeans , but Greeks have recent true negro genes, as evidenced by the frequency of sickle cell in Southern Europe, as well as HLA genes. E lineages landed in Greece by way of True Negrid Africans as can be discerned from broad noses and prognatism in early Greek, Macedonian and Anatolian remains (See Angel) . Most of the Greek (and other European) lineages didn't even evolve on the European continent, just like their Indo-''European'' languages. Furthermore, about 25% of Greeks have recent paternal Arabian lineages, probably via Negroid Arabians. Greeks also have enormous amounts of words in their language that are foreign (ie African and West Asian) in origin.

If you think early Cretans and neolithic Greeks are biologically European, when skeletal remains tell otherwise re: broad nose and prognathism via the unknown predeccessors of the Badarians and Tasians (Angel), you are clearly delusional.

Anyone who suffers the delusion that the ancient Greeks were any different to the modern Greeks, or that they had anything remotely in common with sub-saharan negroids, needs to see a mental health specialist at the earliest opportunity... There should be whole psychiatric wards dedicated to treating afrocentric-fucktarditus.

You Rahotep seems to think that the majority of posters here think the Greeks were anything than what they appears to be European and White, what we are saying to you is the Greeks carries significant African genetic material and have some African cultural influence it is your own racist beliefs that calls for pure this and pure that which you then tried to push off on African scholars Case in point a clear case of African read Kemetic influence.

There was some indirect Egyptian influence on early Greek civilization, but the similarities are superficial. The Greeks never made a statue with both legs joined together by a sone wedge, for example, whereas the Egyptians nearly always left the legs conjoined in that way. The Greeks soon abandoned the static, striding pose in favour of greater naturalism, a development which owed nothing to Egypt. (Sub-saharan influcence on either Egyptian or Greek culture, by the way, is essentially non-existent also).
Various studied have concluded that the Greeks carry negligible African DNA, eg:
'In a sample of 125 Greeks from Thessaloniki and Sarakatsani, 2 Asian-specific mtDNA sequences (M and D) were detected (1.6%). No sub-Saharan African genes were observed in this population. Therefore, non-Caucasoid maternal ancestry in Greece is very low, as elsewhere in Europe.' Richards et al., 2000.

Bull there was direct African cultural influence of Greece as well as genetic read Benin HBS posted elsewhere it could not have been other wise see the direct forerunners of the Helens the Minoans,Cretans, and others see the coins of Lesbos posted on another thread..but I repeat Greeks were majority White and their Civ.Euro.. although having massive Mesopotamian and Nile valley influence.

So a copy of an influence of a copy returning to it's original base that's all you got..why don't you try harder if I had the mind to I could have made your case better..And Greeks did traveled to Meroe as tourist,adventurers,mercenaries and sometimes seeking religious inspiration but for the most part they kept to themselves in Alexandra.
While Africans took their religious beliefs directly to Greece I can go much deeper but will save that for another time.

Brada the Pigs squeel when the same methods they apply to Egypt is applied to Greece. Suddenly the Whore-tep can understand Archeology Studies about Greece he seems to either Ignore(Or Run away from like he did in Kalonji's thread) or be unable to read when it comes to Egypt. Suddenly the majority of Art work produced in Greece leads him that Foreigners were the Minority while the majority of Dark Skinned Egyptians is ignored in favor of the few cherry picked images of Light skinned Egyptians.
"There is now a sufficient body of evidence from modern studies of skeletal remains to indicate that the ancient Egyptians, especially southern Egyptians, exhibited physical characteristics that are within the range of variation for ancient and modern indigenous peoples of the Sahara and tropical Africa. In general, the inhabitants of Upper Egypt and Nubia had the greatest biological affinity to people of the Sahara and more southerly areas." (Nancy C. Lovell, " Egyptians, physical anthropology of," in Encyclopedia of the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt, ed. Kathryn A.

Spare me, Jari. Egyptians were and are dark skinned but not 'black', they are different from sub-saharan Africans. Being dark and being (only just) in Africa doesn't mean that one belongs to an over-arching race and culture. Egyptians are also within the range of variations for the whole mediterranean region, so looking like the most caucasoid sub-saharans that can be found doesn't mean very much. Also note the fact that the indigenous peoples of the sahara and tropical Africa are differentiated in that quote of Lovell's. Not once but twice. Indigenous saharans are caucasoid berber types, not negroids.

The jug is decorated with a black wearing a tunic and carrying two spears. Blacks are represented in Phoenician art and in some bronze statuettes of the eighth and seventh centuries B.C. Moreover, the Greek historian Herodotus mentions Ethiopians in connection with Cyprus; it is possible that during Egyptian rule of the island (ca. 570–526/5 B.C.) Ethiopians settled there.

Novelty items. Big deal. Black men's heads (and griffins and unicorns) appeared occasionally in medieval European heraldry, too, it doesn't mean they were a common sight!
I'm sure there's a word for creatures who pops out from under their bridges in order to contributes nothing more than an accusation of trolling, meanwhile. Here's an indication of where you can take that accusation.

Yeah, posting a quote that says that Nubians and Egyptians had the most biological affinity to Western and Southern peoples is definitely self defeating to the African origins of Ancient Egyptians. Infact, Lovells quote suggests that they came from the Baker culture in Southeastern Europe and from Mesopotamia.

If there wasn't a variation, then there would have been no need to mention it.

As I said you are ignorant and not worth my time. Its obvious you lack basic comprehension skills and lack the education on the Ancient Wet Saharah and who those people were. Further damaging to your credibility in this debate is your lack of understanding that the Saharah is presently a Desert and thus no modern people Inhabit it. Also your ignorance on basic Geography in understand where the Sahara is located(Not North Africa).
As I said please stop posting to me. There are plenty of other people who can tolerate such ignorance, I however am not one of them.
