Learn about the Doberman Pinscher

The Doberman was assembled deliberately in late 1800s Germany as a taxman's protection dog, combining Pinscher sharpness with guarding strength. Its reconstructed ancestry draws on German Pinscher, Rottweiler-type butcher's dogs and old black-and-tan stock. It survives as a modern working and companion breed.
