Description

Doberman Pinscher

Originating in Apolda, in Thuringen, Germany, around 1890, the breed was officially recognized in 1900. Since that date the Doberman Pinscher has made fast friends in Europe, in the Orient and the Americas. It takes its name from Louis Dobermann of Apolda.

At first, the Doberman was used almost exclusively as a guard and home watchdog. As it developed, its qualities of intelligence and ability to absorb and retain training brought it into demand as police and war dog. In this service its agility and courage make it highly prized. An excellent nose adapted the dog to criminal trailing; it has also led to its use as a hunting dog.
