Very few people actually get to meet the real Dance. Mainly because she can be shy with people so unless you've met her a few times, she hardly shows any of her actual personality. She just barks and hides. So people think she's a rescue, or that I must beat her, or that she's yappy. Or alternatively, she comes across as the most naturally well behaved, easiest dog in the world and fools people into thinking that all Tollers would make the perfect family dog for them. Nobody gets to see her mischevious, ever so happy and full of joy side. Which is how she is most of the time.
The Dobes also give a false impression of behaviour. Keira especially is virtually bombproof in public, doesn't react poorly to anything, totally ignores other dogs, etc. Combine that with the fact that everyone thinks she's a puppy, they think Dobermans must just be the easiest puppies to raise haha. I quickly tell them that's not the case and tell them how much time and training is put into my dogs. Keira
Depending on his mood, Ripley can either come across as the easiest, sweetest dog in the world or the most hyper, noisy, pushy dog in the world. Mostly it's the former more often than the latter. But in certain environments (training class or vet clinic, where his mind explodes by being surrounded by other dogs even after three years of constantly training and being around them), he probably comes off as quite obnoxious on occassion. He's whiny, moany, bouncy, unfocused, etc. Not always, and I am generally able to get him back to me, but he still as those moments where people are like "omg, how do you live with him?".
But all in all, I think my dogs all generally come across as very easy, well behaved dogs and people don't realize that they don't just naturally come that way.
But he's not nearly as subtle as Kim and most dog people totally call him on it. The general public is a bit more vulnerable.
