About the Doberman Pinscher

The Doberman Pinscher was created in Germany during the late 19th century by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, a tax collector who also ran a dog pound. Seeking a protective companion for his rounds through dangerous areas, he selectively bred a combination of dogs that likely included the Rottweiler, German Pinscher, Greyhound, Weimaraner, and Manchester Terrier. The result was a fearless, intelligent, and athletic guard dog.
