Anyone else notice this?

I agree. You are not being over sensitive. I beat my head on the wall every time I see stock images of "vicious dogs" and it is always a bully a doberman or a rottweiler.

Let me know the best avenue to send feedback and I'll certainly do so!

It's such a pity that breeds like Dobermans have this sterotype attached to them. Yes, there are vicious Dobies, but there are dogs of every breed that can be vicious if they are trained to be. Dobies are naturally sweet, loving, gentle pups that have been given a bad rap and Yahoo doesn't need to perpetuate it!

No you are not! I've never had to experience this 'popular belief' thing with Dobies, Rotties etc. but after that programme, walking out with my Basset I felt as if some people were looking and it wasn't nice.

Stereotyping is dangerous, sad, and unnecessary - blame the deed, not the breed - well-used, but true!

Might be worth getting on to Yahoo feedback ?

Do tell them about this.

I have a Dobie myself and I have had people literally scream in panic at me for allowing my dobie play with their dog.

My neighbour knows my dog, pets her and all, but yet calls her 'the vicious one', while his own (sheep)dog bites ppl all the time.

Just makes me sad

I don't think you're being oversensitive. There is enough ignorance out there without an "official" source like Yahoo perpetuating it.

Tell them about this - it is a bad stereotype and can be harmful to the dog breed.
