The Dobermann Pinscher or Dobermann is a breed of domestic dog. Dobermann 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, Dobermann Pinschers are one of the most recognizable breeds, in part because of their actual roles in society, and in part because of media attention . Careful breeding has improved the disposition of this breed, and the modern Dobermann Pinscher is an energetic and lively breed suitable for companionship and family life.Doberman Pinschers were first bred in the town of Apolda, in the German state of Thüringia 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, loyalty, intelligence, and ferocity. 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 Sylvan 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 crossing with the Greyhound and Manchester Terrier. 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 entitled "The Dobermann Pinscher", written by Philip Greunig (first printing in 1939), is considered the foremost study of the development of the breed by its most ardent students. It describes the breed's early development by Otto Goeller, whose hand allowed the Doberman to become the dog we recognize today.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 é uma raça de cães muito utilizada como cão de guardaO doberman é uma raça relativamente recente, desenvolvida durante o século XIX na Alemanha. Seu criador chamava-se Louis Dobermann e era um cobrador de impostos na cidade de Apolda. Devido a suas funções, Louis Dobermann, fazia diversas viagens pela região e sentia a necessidade de um cão para protegê-lo. Ele queria um cão valente, ágil, inteligente e corajoso que pudesse acompanhá-lo. Louis Dobermann também trabalhava como zelador no canil municipal de Apolda, e tinha um grande conhecimento sobre cães, a partir de 1870 começou a realizar cruzamentos entre cães "dos açougueiros" (ancestrais do Rottweiler), Pinscher, Pastor Alemão, Weimaraner, Greyhound e o Manchester Terrier . Contudo, Louis Dobermann morreu aproximadamente dez anos após ter iniciado a seleção do doberman e não teve a oportunidade de ver seu trabalho concluído, seus trabalhos foram continuados por Otto Goeller, que estabeleceu o padrão da raça em 1894 e deu o nome de Dobermann Pinscher em homenagem ao seu criador
