Essential Information To Know Relating To The Doberman

Just a few of the Doberman Pinscher's more unique
attributes are seen in their high level of
intelligence and trainability, fearlessness,
obedience and perceived but largely mistaken
association with being a dangerous dog - which
essentially make the Doberman Pinscher a
suitable breed for police and military work,
search and rescue, guarding, tracking,
competitive obedience, therapy work and they are
increasingly gaining popularity as a family
companion with the lessening of their aggressive
stereotype.

The Doberman Pinscher is believed to have
originated in Germany at the end of the 19th
century where their creation is credited to a
tax collector named Louis Dobermann who
developed this new dog breed to protect him
while he worked. They are
understood to be the consequence of crossing
breeds that may have included the Rottweiler,
German Pinscher, Greyhound, Beauceron, Black and
Tan Terrier and Weimaraner.

Doberman Pinschers are classed as a medium
to-sized breed of dog. The suggested standard
size for the Doberman Pinscher male is 26-28
inches high from paw to shoulder and a weight of
60-85 pounds, whereas the recommended size for
female Doberman Pinschers is 24-26 inches tall
from paw to shoulder with a weight of 60-85
pounds.

The Doberman Pinscher is recognized for their
fearless, energetic, loyal and alert nature.
They are typically reserved with visitors but
are known to aggressively defend their family or
property if either are in danger, which can mean
they are highly suitable as a guard dog.
Depending on the breeder, however, individual
Doberman Pinschers can be much calmer than the
traditional working standard and this can make
them more sociable and accepting of strangers
than Doberman Pinschers from different breeding
lines that adhere more closely to the original
standard.

The Doberman Pinscher is also demonstrated to be
extremely intelligent - scoring 5th compared to
other dogs when considering their capability to
be taught obedience commands. They are
additionally famous to be great with children
when introduced at an early age - which makes
them quite suitable as a family pet. The
Doberman Pinscher is not always pleasant with
other dogs who they may become aggressive with
though if they're introduced to them at an early
age they can be known to get along quite well
with other pets.

The Doberman Pinscher can be kept happy with at
least an average-sized yard to provide them with
enough space, but they can be mildly suitable for
living in an apartment provided they are taken
for daily walks. They prefer warmer weather, and
they will be less comfortable if it gets too cold
- for this reason they should not be left outside
in winter and if necessary they may need
additional clothing to keep them warm in these
months.

The Doberman Pinscher benefits from hobbies
which include being given a job to do or
competing in events such as agility that give
them both physical and mental stimulation. They
have a high level of energy and this
necessitates exercise each day in the shape of
long walks or jogs to avoid destructive behavior
problems as well as excessive weight gain.

The Doberman Pinscher can make the ideal dog for
an active owner or family with plenty of time for
training. They are fit to anybody who is eager to
carry out a minimal amount of grooming and
allocate time to provide them with early
socialization and consistent positive training
that establishes the human as the pack leader
with ongoing mental challenges in addition to
take them on long daily walks and bestow a very
high amount of company and attention - they are
not at all suitable to leave alone in the
backyard every day and this is how many behavior
problems can start.
