What is Canine Global Domination?
Well it’s really just a catch phrase. A friend came up with it and it just stuck with me. I like it because it’s so dramatic and obviously exaggerated. But I should clarify. It’s not meant to suggest that Ramsey and Pablo are trying to take over the world, but more-so the Doberman and Chihuahua as breeds. Ramsey and Pablo just happen to be their spokes dogs.
We all know the problems that the Doberman faces as a breed, and I’ve vowed to fight for them until the day I die. I’m in a unique position because of the popularity of Ramsey and Pablo, to use my videos as a platform to help change a few minds ab0ut the Doberman and hopefully chisel away at some of the ridiculous stereotypes created by irresponsible owners and the media. And honestly, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a little fun in the process.
But meanwhile, there are these microscopic dogs called Chihuahuas that come up short (pun intended) in the respect department because of their size. These ankle-biters go to war every single day – dodging human feet, avoiding falling objects such as car keys which were seemingly meant for their heads, battling for territorial supremacy against their much larger canine roommates – the list goes on! And after a long, hard day in the trenches, they settle down on the couch with their owners and listen to us talk to them as if we were talking to a human baby?
You would be a little grouchy too!
So anyway, it’s important to me that everyone realize the phrase Canine Global Domination is more about poking fun at the popularity of Ramsey and Pablo than anything else. But if someday Dobermans and Chihuahuas rule the world, don’t come crying to me! You’re the ones watching Ramsey and Pablo videos on YouTube. Hehe.

Not bored at work as you ask in the facebook wall but anytime something about R&P comes up, I drop everything and check it out. I´ve been their fan ever since i got my chi (oct.2007) -who saved my life, depression- and admire all you have made happen for these breeds. Greetings from Honduras

Thanks for bringing awareness to the awesome Doberman breed. I got my Doberman during the time of the Doberman Gang movies(anyone remember those?) and they had a bad rep-vicious and would turn on their owners. I got a lot of flak from my Mom about getting one, but I won out. Attila was the best dog-just a large puppy who, at 75 lbs still would climb on my lap for a snooze : )

I just have to say thank you for taking on this cause.
Dobes are not allowed on Fort Benning, so I was unable to get another puppy after losing my two Dobes – both were almost 12! The pointer I have now is more likely to bite than my Dobes ever were. (Obviously, I have some work to do myself!) Global Domination for Ramsey and Pablo would not bother me a bit! Enjoy!

So true about dobies getting an unfair rap, I have a 6mth old son, and 5 dogs, and my only dobe Ed, is the one most gentle and quiet around him, he also seems to be the baby’s favourite… Smart child! hahaha. I also grew up around chihuahuas who were not carried around everywhere like accessories, but were let be dogs, and they were such awsome characters trapped in tiny bodies! Go for it Ramsay and Pablo… the world needs you!

Ever think about helping the “pit bull” breed as well (since they’re banned almost everywhere)?

P.S. I still think helping the Dobes is great too!

This entry makes me think of the series “Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handy” that used to run on SNL. There was one that went something like this: “If dogs ever take over the world and they choose a king, I hope they don’t go by size alone, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.” Go Pablo!

OMG!!!! This short story ROCKS!!! I have THREE CHIHUHUAS…yes, you read correct…THREE…and let me tell you, living in NYC, these guys are ankle biters, dog barkers, dominate their sidewalk, and rock in in Central Park…and really don’t like kids…and you know what? I love it!!!!!! And YES, I do talk to them in baby talk…hey..they deserve it after a hard day’s work!!! lol

Count us in for Global Canine Domination! Cumbia the She boss (Jack Russell terrier) and Duran (the male Red Dobe) and I support you 100%. I am single handedly trying to change the perception of the Doberman where I live… and am somewhat succeeding! When the 3 us of go out for a walk together, I constantly get asked how it’s possible that a 15lb dog can walk and live happily with a 90lb “monster” side by side….little do they know that she rules the roost! Watching your videos I laugh constantly because I know that someone, somewhere knows the joys of being around 2 clowns constantly. More people should be so lucky, don’t you think?… and as I type this, I have a snoring Doberman at my feet, and a Jack Russell using him as a pillow.

I totally agree about changing the view of Dobermans or any other dogs that get categorized into a negative stereotype. I also love the points about the special challenges small dogs like chihuahuas face every day. It’s also important to change the negative viewpoints of chihuahuas. Not all chihuahuas are yappers who hate children and are carried around in purses. Yes, we know some can have attitude (Pablo haha) but they are not Devildogs, baring teeth and snapping, like some of the ones people shamelessly flaunt on YouTube. And…if they are, it’s the owner who’s to blame, not the dog!
I love Pablo and his sassy, yet non-aggressive personality…and Ramsey and her gentleness/patience with her brother.

Luckily in my country we don´t have any bans or rules about what type of dog you can have ( so far, that is ) but still whenever I say that I have a doberman I get this LOOK. The stereotype that every doberman is vicious monster is probably set in stone. Even my vet was surprised that my doberman did not bite her when being examined and she is vet for god´s sake. So I do believe it is very important to take every chance and try to change this stupid stereotype. Therefore hail global canine domination.

My family and I love the videos of Ramsey and Pablo. As I said once before it was finding your videos of Ramsy that pushed me to get my Bella. Ironically, last night I was getting my first tat and the subject of dobermans came up. The tattoo artist said yes Dobies are smart but when they turn 7 their “brain outgrows the skull and they turn on you.” So thank you for sharing with the world your wonderful dogs and showing that Dobermans are not what the media makes them out to be. Keep up the good videos!! A family of fans from Montana!!

“I’ve vowed to fight for them until the day I die.”
This means a lot! I too will fight for the Doberman, and any other labeled “vicious” breed. I’ve had 3 Dobermans and a chow in my life so far, and they won’t be the last.

Congratulations on standing up for dobermans and chihuahuas! I have three chihuahuas and have heard innumerable versions of the “why don’t you get a real dog?” comment. I don’t dress mine in outfits, carry them in my purse, or let them get away with being bratty. I’ve had many people comment on how sweet, friendly, and well-behaved they are. They play with their toys, chase squirrels, occasionally dig a hole or roll in stinky stuff- you know, act like all other dogs. One even fetches a full-sized tennis ball! The truth is, any breed of dog can be a winner, as long as it’s given plenty of love and care, and the right amount of discipline.

Gosh, I love em’ all, I am partial to Dobies…when just me and my Doberman (Zeus) lived alone, I slept very sound at night knowing he was right there to be sure Momma was ok…plus never being trained for therapy, we went to a local nursing home where he made people so happy, his sweet personality and his sensitivity to those folks was amazing, he knew to be very slow and gentle…you just had to see him in action, totally amazing he knew exactly what to do.

Thank you so much for your work in changing the image of the Doberman. I absolutely love my dobie! Not only is she a great companion but she is also my guide dog. I received her from Pilot Dogs, the only dog guide school in the country currently training dobies as guides. the Doberman makes an exceptional guide but I have had quite a bit of problems with public perception.

I think the reason I love watching Ramsey (and Pablo) so much is that I had a doberman that looked just like Ramsey years ago- her name was Tasha-best dog I’ve had. Dobies got a bad rep and I don’t know why. Mine was just a big ol lap dog-kind of like the Richard Pryor joke, she actually let a burglar get into my house and go through my stuff, and then wanted him to stay and play…what a bada$$ she was. I miss her still.

To Kathy – yeah, great guarding dog
. I am not so sure that my doberman would be so gentle towards the intruder but then again..who knows, it has luckily never been put to the test. I am kind of sure that there is hardly any thief ( except for the one you had in your home ) who would willingly enter a doberman guarded house.
