Dobermann

Herr Louis Dobermann was a rent collector, taxman and dog warden, and his work especially the tax collection, necessitated him having a dog to protect him on his rounds. As a dog warden, he had an ideal opportunity to breed a dog specific to his own requirements and in the 1880's he began to combine the dogs from the pound with other breeds, to create an intelligent, alert and physically capable guard dog. Sadly, the precise ancestry of the Dobermann is not known as Herr Dobermanns' breeding records were not kept, but it is believed that the German Pinscher, the Beauceron, and later the greyhound, the Manchester Terrier and possibly the Rottweiler, were all used in the ancestry of the Dobermann..... read more about the dobermann
