Doberman More Details

  ...........................................................................................................................................................

My Doberman, Sherry, is the most loving, loyal, and intelligent companion. She is very energetic, playful, easy to train, clean, demands a lot of exercise, and is a one-man dog.

A Doberman is very protective and fearless, often suspicious of children, strangers, and other dogs, and will not hesitate to attack to protect her master and territory.

Dobermans do not like to be left alone, so make sure you have plenty of time, love, and energy to invest in your new dog. The pleasure you will get cannot be described.

I love my Dobermans because they are such loyal dogs. It seems like they can read my mind. I could be thinking about taking them for a ride or to the park and it just seems like they know what I'm thinking, even though I didn't say anything or even hint at taking them anywhere.

Dobermans are very smart dogs and learn everything fast. They are so much fun and easy to live with. I would tell anyone wanting a Doberman to make sure they have time to spend with them, as they love being with you more than anything else! I have a fenced-in yard so they can go outside whenever they want, but I would NEVER leave my dogs outside when I'm not home - they are inside dogs! Also, very important, make sure you get a Doberman from a good breeder who does health tests (and proves it) on the parents - there are lots of hereditary problems associated with this breed.

Doberman History

Doberman Pinschers were first bred in the town of Apolda, in the German state of Thuringia around 1890, following the Franco-Prussian War by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann. Dobermann served in the dangerous role of local tax collector, and ran the Apolda dog pound. With access to dogs of many breeds, he aimed to create a breed that would be ideal for protecting him during his collections, which took him through many bandit-infested areas. He set out to breed a new type of dog that, in his opinion, would be the perfect combination of strength, speed, endurance, loyalty, intelligence, and ferocity. Later, Otto Goeller and Philip Gruening continued to develop the breed to become the dog that is seen today.

Intelligence

Canine intelligence is an umbrella term that encompasses the faculties involved in a wide range of mental tasks, such as learning, problem-solving, and communication. The Doberman Pinscher has ranked amongst the most intelligent of dog breeds in experimental studies and expert evaluations. For instance, Psychologist Stanley Coren ranks the Doberman as the 5th most intelligent dog in the category of obedience command training, based on the selective surveys he performed of some trainers (as documented in his book The Intelligence of Dogs). Additionally, in two studies, Hart and Hart (1985) ranked the Doberman Pinscher first in this category and Tortora (1980) gave the Doberman the highest rank in trainability. Although the methods of evaluation differ, these studies consistently show that the Doberman Pinscher, along with the Border Collie, German Shepherd and Standard Poodle, is one of the most trainable breeds of dog.

Appearance

Kennel club standards describe Doberman Pinschers as dogs of medium-large size with a square build and short coat. They are compactly built and athletic with endurance and swiftness. The Doberman Pinscher should have a proud, watchful, determined, and obedient temperament. The dog was originally intended as a guard dog, so males should have a masculine, muscular, noble appearance. Females are thinner, but should not be spindly.
