One is a quite recent race, created in Germany in 1860, Great fruit of curces between Danish, Rottweiler, Pinscher and shepherds German and also with blood of Shepherd of Beauce and the English Greyhound. The author of all these mixtures was a German collector of taxes, call Luis Dobermann, who, having to cross zones frequently infested of bandits, thought about “being constructed” to a dog of guard and defense able to confront any situation, by dramatic which outside. With the name of its breeder, the Dobermann was presented/displayed for the first time in a exhibition in 1876; immediately it achieved a great success.

It is a dog of muscular conformation and extreme elegance. For the males the height varies between the 62 and 68 cm; for the females between 58 and 65. Weight: of 30 to 40 kg It has the long head and it narrows; flat skull with stop as soon as marked; strong set of teeth in scissors; dark eyes with expression of the great intelligence; amputated ears of right bearing (it can also compete with the ears without cutting); amputated tail short; perfectly plumbed extremities. Short, dense, hard and adherent hair. The color of the mantle must be black, brown dark or blue, with limited spots red good rust. The white spots are not admitted. The Dobermann must, in addition, have to walk elastic and elegant, covering much land.

Character: Male and female have different temperament. The female is calm, sensible, affectionate in family, distrusted with strangers; the male, however, is impetuous, very intelligent, frequently aggressive and must be dominated by the energetic hand of a master. They do not exist bad Dobermann, but they exist bad masters.
