Doberman

The Dobermann, also known as the Doberman Pinscher in the United States and Canada, is a medium-large breed of domestic dog that was developed around 1890 by Louis Dobermann, a German tax collector. The muzzle of the Dobermann is quite long. It usually walks on its pads and is not heavy-footed. They should walk with an even and graceful gait. The ears are traditionally cropped and posted, and the tail is docked. However, in some countries, these procedures are now illegal, and they are frequently regarded as cruel and unnecessary. Dobermanns are distinguished by markings on the chest, paws/legs, muzzle, above the eyes, and beneath the tail.

Dobermanns are intelligent, alert, and fiercely loyal companions and guard dogs. Personality varies greatly between individuals, but if properly cared for and trained, they are generally regarded as loving and devoted companions. The Dobermann is determined, strong, and occasionally stubborn. They are easy to train and learn quickly if you use a consistent approach.

The Dobermann had to be large and intimidating as a personal protection dog, fearless and willing to defend its owner from attackers (especially other guard dogs), but obedient and restrained enough to do so only on command. These characteristics suited the dog well as a personal defense dog, police dog, or war dog, but not so well as a companion. However, modern breeders have reduced the aggressiveness of the Dobermann over the years.
