Doberman Pinscher dog

The Doberman Pinscher is compactly built, muscular, very powerful. He is elegant in appearance, of proud carriage, reflecting great nobility and temperament. They are proud, alert and athletic, with endurance and speed.

Devoted and fearless, the Doberman Pinscher is universally known as a “police dog” for its duty on the German Front during World War I. An excellent breed for a jogger to own, he may be a challenge because of his dominance for the elderly or disabled.

Temperament

The Doberman Pinscher is a highly energetic, bold, fearless, alert, fearless and determined dog breed. Initially suspicious of strangers, the Doberman Pinscher is a great guard and watchdog. He is very intelligent and easy to train.

Loyal, noble and affectionate with the family. All family members should learn to handle the dog properly, as Dobermans can be pushy if allowed to have their own way too much, not recommended with children and will not tolerate roughhousing. The Doberman is naturally protective and does not need additional “protection” training to be a fine guard dog.

These dogs are like big, protective babies. Doberman Pinschers have many talents including tracking, watchdogging, guarding, police work, military work, search & rescue, therapy work, competitive obedience and schutzhund. Aggression towards other dogs is accepted in the AKC standard.

Health Issues

A serious heart disorder called cardiomyothopy is more common to Great Danes than any other breed and therefore a cardio check up is recommended. Von Willebrand’s disease is no longer a large problem. Prostate issues are fairly common. To minimize the risk of your Doberman developing any hereditary health issues, you should buy a Doberman dog from a reputable Doberman breeder.
