It astonishes me that people actually search for videos of dogs attacking ANYTHING, but they do. That’s where I come in…
I get a lot of flack for my misleading video titles. Clearly, Suvi is not “attacking” this child (who happens to be my nephew). I get comments from angry YouTubers suggesting that they got betrayed because my dog(s) were not actually attacking anyone and that I should change the title of my videos. There are many videos throughout YouTube with misleading titles and I’ll admit, I get annoyed when I search the “official” video for my favorite band or the “official” trailer for an upcoming movie I want to see and I end up watching a grainy video from someone who pointed a video camera at their home television. These people are obviously just looking to get views.
This is different.
27.8 million people have watched Ramsey, Pablo and Suvi on YouTube and I couldn’t care less. Don’t get me wrong – I want people to enjoy my videos. It never gets old reading comments or emails from people who tell me that Ramsey, Pablo and Suvi helped them through the loss of a family pet. Or from college students who are away at school and these videos got them through an extended time away from their own dog. But the greatest satisfaction I get from posting all these videos is when people tell me that they or their parents were previously misinformed about dobermans or pit bulls or even chihuahuas and that my videos helped them see just how great these breeds truly are. So the idea that someone stumbles upon my videos when searching for a doberman attack to reaffirm their breed prejudice and realizes just how wrong they’ve been all this time gives me enough reason to continue mislead people…in a good way. Enjoy the video!
Regardless of “what people want”, what’s popular isn’t always right and what’s right isn’t always popular. While I appreciate your impeccable dog ownership (honestly, I appreciate how you take care of your pets), and I’m a huge fan of your dogs, titles like these are a bit too close to home for me to the point that I find this one in particular… repulsive. Sorry. IMHO it’s just bad form. I believe your fan base is solid enough to attract millions of hits without the sensational titles.
You’re certainly welcome to your opinion. But I’ll gladly offend a thousand people with a smile on my face if it saves the life of one dog. And frankly, I think you’re underestimating the power of YouTube. I could forward countless emails to you from people who ended up adopting dobermans or pit bulls after watching my videos. I don’t mind evoking an human emotion like repulsion. It’s laughable compared to dying in a cage via lethal injection, I would imagine.
Looked like a pit bull attack to me. At least, the kind of attacks I’m used to from pit bulls. I could watch this video a million times for the love expressed in it. If it makes just one person change their mind about pits, the sensational title is worth it.
Suzanne- like he said he could not care less about “hits” on YouTube. He titles them like that on purpose. To show people that pit bulls, dobermans and chihuahuas are loving animals. I had a doberman growing up and I had friends that were terrified of her. I tried to tell them not to be but because she was a “doberman” they wanted nothing to do with her. She was the biggest baby and the best dog.
It’s an attack all right…a lurve attack! It looks a bit like Ramsey is thinking of getting in on it as well.
When I look at my blog stats, I frequently see that people have gotten there because they’ve searched “Mean Doberman” or “scary dog”, and that really just eggs me on. People believe things things because they haven’t learned yet, and if it takes a Google results ambush to teach them, well, I try my best.
Thanks again Chad, for another great video. I approve whole heartedly with your deceptive titles. Whatever it takes to do the job is an admirable stance, when it’s for such a good cause.
there is nothing wong with your videos i enjoy watching them they make me laugh when i felling down , ilove them an I think there great this is ameirca land of the free isn’t it I hope so. Ramsey, Pablo an Suvi you keep up the good work i want to keep seeing all your videos.
Suvi acts like a puppy still! She wanted to play and little boys just have a fun smell about them. Keep on with your videos and name them however yoy wish. Freedom of speech! Maybe some sick ##%*/$- will watch your loving clips and quit the abuse that has afflicted this wonderful breed.
Dear Chad, while I wasn’t keen on the title at first I had a suspicion that this would be the outcome. I now understand your reasons and even agree with them. Here in the UK due to bad owners Suvis’ breed is banned here and Ramsey would be classed as a dangerous dog and would have to be musseled when out in a public place. This I truly believe is down to bad owners and not bad dogs. Both yourself and your girlfriend are truly in control of your dogs this your girlfriend proved when she saw that your nephew was becoming a bit distressed. The same as in the last video when Pablo didn’t show you what he wanted until you gave the command to do so. Keep up the great work and thank you. Much love to you all Janette (uk)

Bravo! Good for you Chad. Do it again, and again. Dobermans and Pittys have a bad rap and you do nothing BUT help clean up their reputation!

I love this video. I have a video, on YouTube, of my youngest Chihuahua Ricky. It’s called “Ricky, the Chihuahua, Attacks!”
