About the Breed
This breed is better known in North America as the Doberman
Pinscher, with ‘Doberman’ in this case being spelt
with a single ‘n’. Its origins date back to 1870,
when a German breeder called Louis Dobermann sought to develop
a new breed, based largely on a combination of Rottweiler
and German Pinscher blood. He wanted a breed that would protect
him in his unpopular work as a tax collector. A variety of
other dogs contributed to his breeding programme, including
German Shepherd Dogs and probably Greyhounds, which helped
to give the Dobermanns its sleek appearance.
By the turn or the century, the Dobermann had gained a justifiable
reputation for its aggressive behaviour. When the breed was
introduced to the US, breeders in the UK realised that if
it was to make progress in show circles, then a much more
docile dog would be required. Its attractive profile helped
to ensure the rapid rise in popularity of the Dobermann, both
in North America and elsewhere, but bad publicity had tended
to follow this breed.
Many problems can be traced back to early care. The Dobermann
is naturally a very assertive dog and so must receive proper
training from puppyhood, otherwise it may well turn aggressive
in later life. For this reason, it is not the best breed to
choose as a family pet, nor if you have had little or no previous
experience of owning a dog. A well-trained and obedient Dobermann
is, nevertheless, a joy to watch, and the breed is used by
police forces in various countries.
