Doberman Pinscher

The Doberman Pinscher is one of the few dog species whose name refers to the person who "created" the breed. In fact, the Doberman Pinscher was bred in the 19th century by Louis Dobermann. Dobermann wanted a dog that could protect him. This was necessary, because Dobermann was a bailiff. It must have happened with some regularity that defaulters threatened him. To feel safer he bred the Doberman Pinscher. It is not exactly known from which species the Doberman Pinscher originally descended. The dog does show some typical similarities to Rottweilers and German Pinschers.

Dobermanns dogs are powerful dogs. In principle, of course, this applies to any dog, but for the Dobermann this indicates in particular: it is not a toy. The animal is enormously powerful and can be very fierce. The Doberman Pinscher is therefore often used as a guard and defense dog. The Dobermann Pincher is used by the U.S. Marines as an official fighting dog.

However, the dog is also very loyal and social. In addition, the animal is incredibly intelligent. When the dog is raised properly, it is an ideal companion. The Doberman can be very affectionate. The animal is extremely enthusiastic and has a lot of energy. He loves to play and is crazy to play with children. Again, however, it is important that the dog learns boundaries. From enthusiasm he can also play too enthusiastically, which scares children.

It is therefore important that the dog has a clear boss. Someone must be able to control the dog and not the other way around. Since the Doberman Pinscher has some dominant traits, it can sometimes be difficult to relate to other dogs. The owner of a Doberman Pinscher will have to put a lot of time into raising him, but also into "entertaining" and challenging him. However, in return he gets a warm, strong and extremely loyal four-legged friend.
