The Famous Doberman Pinscher: From Ferocity to Tranquility

The Famous Doberman Pinscher: From Ferocity to Tranquility

by Troy Richardson

All of us had been exposed to the presence of this one particular breed in almost every historical event in the world. From historic battles and rescue operations to lively entertainments, this dog is just everywhere showing off a natural ferocity and aristocratic posture. The instant someone sees this dog, he or she can exclaim the name Doberman.

Gone are the days when this animal is considered as a fearless and intimidating watchdog, guard dog and police dog. Modern breeding of ardent Doberman fanciers managed to transform its ferocity in to a lively and active disposition that suits the lifestyle of modern families and human companions. Being the calmer and loving version of its self today, many approve that it does make a wonderful job being a pet for many families and companion for different kinds of people.

Through the process of selective breeding, the once fierce temperament of the Doberman had been decreased or altered. It was also found through systematic studies that the Dobermans of North America are far less aggressive than the ones found in Europe. Overall, the Doberman of today scored excellent in playfulness, good in fearlessness and curiosity and low on aggressiveness.

A lot of people mistake the undaunted and self-assured carriage of the Doberman as barbarity and merciless judgment but in truth, they are nothing but loyal, intelligent and intent companion. They are proud, watchful and obedient and they only do what pleases their masters and what they discern as defense to the family that owns them. The Doberman is a breed not to be scared of but instead, is a breed to be proud of for they will make you proud, loved and protected with all their might.

Medium sized and square framed are the best descriptions for its body. It also looks muscular, resilient and compact with short hair that wraps its body snuggly. The pelt comes in shades of black, black & tan, blue-gray, red, fawn and white.

The Doberman breed is said to have started in Apolda, Germany in 1890. A local tax collector and dog catcher named Karl Freidrich Dobermann bred the first Doberman in a desperate need to have a companion that is fearless and loyal that will accompany him to his routines on the dangerous German areas. Having access to the dog pound, he had a plethora of dog breeds to choose from.

It was believed that Dobermann devised his new breed to possess the useful characteristics of various dogs and these included the now extinct old German Shepherd, Pinscher, Beauceron, Rottweiler, Thuringian Sylvan Dog, black Greyhound, Great Dane, Weimaraner, German Shorthaired Pointer and Manchester Terrier. How Dobermann was able to breed the Doberman and what ratios or mix he used remains clouded with uncertainty. However, experts suggest that at least four of these breeds had been the major contributors to the conception of the Doberman.

When Karl Dobermann passed away, it was Otto Goeller and Philip Gruening who continued to develop the Doberman until such time it became the Doberman that we know today. From a fearless and ferocious tax collector companion, the Doberman is now the well-loved loyal and sociable family pet. The development and perfection for this breed still strives to this day and because of these efforts, it is but definite that the Doberman will become better and more popular in the future. - 20511
