Doberman Pinschers

 This time, I'm sort of going not from my list, as I was thinking of Dobermans lately. I don't know why, but I was. So, more on the Dobermans, Mr. Doberman, a German tax collector, invented the Doberman Pinscher to protect him on his rounds to collect taxes. Being the 5th smartest dog in the world, Dobermans are intelligent and protective. They were created with the German Pinscher, the Rottweiler, thuringian shepherd dog, Black Greyhound, Great Dane, Weimeraner, German Shorthaired Pointer, and German Shepherd Dogs. Dobermans are powerful, tough, strong, agile, built for speed, loyal, protective, intelligent, fierce, scary, and muscular. They can be typically black with rust markings (Like a rottweiler) and SOME are brown with rust markings. They have a mighty bite and a wedge-shaped head. Ears of a Doberman are usually cropped and held straight up, and the tail is usually docked. Though, Dobermans need professional help to get their ears PERFECTLY straight. Dobermans are trained to be Police Dogs, Search And Rescue Dogs, Guard Dogs, Family Dogs, and they are fun dogs to be around/with. Dobermans usually are GREAT family dogs who are great with little and older kids, but HAVE TO BE SOCIALIZED WHEN IN PUPPYHOOD! As I have said before, Dobermans are VERY smart and are Very easy to train which helps make them a great family pet. They can have health issues is not from a reputable breeder, so make sure to check your sources when getting a Doberman puppy. Shedding and Grooming isn't a big problem. They have smooth, short coats that help with no shedding indoors. Unfortunately, they CANNOT be in cold weather enviroments and have to be indoors when cold comes and put a jacket or a coat on them when they go outside in cold weather.
