Doberman Pinscher


"The Doberman Pinscher (alternatively spelled Dobermann in many countries) or Doberman is a breed of domestic dog. Doberman Pinschers are among the most common of pet breeds, and the breed is well known as an intelligent, alert, and loyal companion dog. Although once commonly used as guard dogs, watch dogs, or police dogs, this is less common today. In many countries, Doberman Pinschers are one of the most recognizable breeds, in part because of their actual roles in society, and in part because of media attention (see temperament). Careful breeding has improved the disposition of this breed, and the modern Doberman Pinscher is an energetic and lively breed ideally suited for companionship and family life.

History
----------

Doberman Pinschers were first bred in Germany around 1890 by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann. After his death in 1894, the Germans named the breed Dobermann-pinscher in his honor, but a half century later dropped the pinscher on the grounds that this German word for terrier was no longer appropriate. The British did the same thing a few years later. Dobermann was a tax collector who frequently traveled through many bandit-infested areas, and needed a protection dog to guard him in any situation that might arise. He set out to breed a new type of dog that, in his opinion, would be the perfect combination of strength, loyalty, intelligence, and ferocity. (He also worked with dogs in his second job as local dog-impounder, giving him access to dogs for breeding.) Later, Otto Goeller and Philip Gruening continued to develop the breed to become the dog that is seen today.

The breed is believed to have been created from several different breeds of dogs that had the characteristics that Dobermann was looking for, including the Pinscher, the Beauceron, the Rottweiler, the Thuringian Shepherd Dog, the black Greyhound, the Great Dane, the Weimaraner, the German Shorthaired Pointer, the Manchester Terrier and the old German Shepherd Dog-now extinct. The exact ratios of mixing, and even the exact breeds that were used, remains uncertain to this day, although many experts believe that the Doberman Pinscher is a combination of at least four of these breeds. The single exception is the documented cross with the Greyhound. It is also widely believed that the old German Shepherd (now extinct)gene pool, was the single largest contributor to the Doberman breed. The book entiled, "The Dobermann Pinscher," written by Philip Greunig (first printing in 1939), is considered the foremost study of the development of the breed, by the most ardent students of the breed. It describes the early development of the breed by Otto Goeller whose hand allowed the Doberman to become the dog we recognize today."

  • this is a old show how did they make this show it so cool i like this show its per july 17 2011

    turn ers name sual jebb sual drinks beere

  • That ( with all due respect ) You seem to be: a busy-body, left-wing, bleeding heart , hippy tree-hugger with far too much nose to stick in everybody else' business. Fact of the matter is: docking and cropping was going on way before you came along to "enlighten us" and will continue to go on well after we are gone; and generations of Doberman owners will have raised happy, healthy, well-adjusted K-9s without a moments doubt or guilt or care what "douche-bag" whiners have to say. Just saying....

  • @LOKISlog7 Well youre a cruel douchebag, is that what you want me to say? Not sure why youre telling me.

  • @NadimahElizabeth This September we will welcome our second Doberman. We have yet to decide if it will be male or female. We have decided that we WON'T sexually mutilate our dog; but we have already made arrangements with our vet to dock and crop. We have full confidence in him; as he has performed hundreds of procedures without any complications or complaint from other dog owners. Just like our other two dogs; we know that our new puppy will be a happy and healthy member of our family.

  • @NadimahElizabeth Yet its done every day; on all corners of this earth; with nary a eyebrow raised by the left leaning element. Seems as though the tree huggers believe that cropping and docking is more an atrocity; than the physical mutilation of our young sons. For the record we have owned two breeds that were cropped and docked; our Female Boxer and Male Doberman. They both lived long; healthy, happy and well adjusted lives; and suffered no complications from the procedure.

  • @LOKISlog7 Nothing gives parents the right to circumcise. The world health org and american pediatric association agrees that it is pointless and cruel. Neutering pets -while unpleasant does help the overpopulatin of unwated animals who suffer .....not realy a good point mate.

  • @NadimahElizabeth What give people the right to mutilate dogs or cats by spaying or Neutering? What gives parents the right to make the decision for circumcision??

  • jdahar continued: All I am saying is there may be a time and a place for certain procedures...no issue is ever 100% cut and dry unless there are laws and regulations (and even then there can be issues)...

    PS- my dobies ears are all natural

  • @Nadimah...I understand the procedure for declawing at length and am against it most of the time but there are situations where telling the owner "no" can result in a shelter and euthanasia...An elderly person has had this cat 6+ years (not declawed) and is now moving into an assisted living facility that will not allow a cats that have claws...no one will take/watch the cat for this person...options: declaw or a overpopulated animal shelter (possible death)...a tough call esp. with an older cat
