Doberman Pinscher

The Dobermann was first bred in 1860s Germany. It is believed the Dobermann was a mix of both Thuringian Shepherd, Weimaraner, and Beucherons.

Today's Dobermann contains elements from several other breeds, including the greyhound and Manchester terrier.

The name Dobermann comes from the German tax collector and dog catcher Louis Dobermann. He wanted a dog that could act as a protector, which the Dobermann was perfect for. The breed previously went by the name Dobermann Pinscher.

The Dobermann has been popular as a rescue dog and as a police dog.
