In this video, we are counting down the top 10 facts about the Doberman Pinscher that you might not know.

A Quick Overview:
Group: Working Dogs
Weight: 60 to 80 pounds
Height: 24 to 28 inches tall at the shoulder
Life Expectancy: 10-13 years

With their sleek coat, athletic build, and regal appearance, this pup looks like an aristocrat. They’re highly energetic and smart dogs who perform well in police and military work, canine sports, and as family guardians and companions.

Because the Doberman Pinscher (spelled Dobermann in some countries) came into existence at the end of the 19th century, they are, in the world of dogs, the new kid on the block. This hasn't stopped the Dobie, as they're affectionately called, from becoming one of the most popular and recognized breeds in the United States.

Their look is elegant and their style is athletic; the Dobie is also intelligent, alert, and loyal. They're a courageous guard dog as well as a beloved family companion.

The Dobie's fierce reputation precedes them. They're feared by those who don't know them, stereotyped as highly aggressive and vicious. True, they're a formidable guardian, but they're usually a gentle, watchful, and loving dog. They don't go looking for trouble, but they're fearless and will defend their family and turf if they perceive danger.

The Doberman Pinscher enjoys being part of a family. They like to be close to those they love and, when this love is present, they're a natural protector. They're trustworthy with their family's children, friends, and guests as long as the pooch is treated kindly.

This is a true jekyl and Hyde breed. All sweet and loving to their owners but they know exactly when and why they should switch on the beast. Absolutely love them.

Anyone else feel like dobermans look really good as a duo...nah jus me

[reynaldolopez]

when I was a kid I spent a lot of time with my grandmother and she owned a female Doberman Pinscher named 'Lady'. Lady was large and intimidating but she was so gentle with the family, and especially us kids.

[Digizella]

I love the way they look through your soul, their observant & keenly watchful eyes. Their royal stance & unique gait, sold me on these! They are hyper, get easily bored: just like me! This dog has great energy & stamina! 🤘

Dobermans are the best dogs, if you don’t agree then heck you.

[pappystern]

Your description about how the Dobermans only bond with really one person in the family I feel isn't quite that true. My family has owned five Dobermans and all of them have had special relationships with all our family members. Truly a phenomenal breed. And of course our favorite breed as well.

Did yall know that the Doberman pinscher was the first military working dog utilized by the US Marine Corps in WWII. They were trained and assigned to specially trained marines, hitting the beaches with US Marines in the island hopping campaign. They were mostly utilized for tracking of Japanese soldiers, guarding, and even utilized for carrying messages between units under heavy fire.

I had a red European Doberman. At his best he weighed 110#. Not fat at all. The most intelligent dog I have ever had.

Baby sat some kids, the female Doberman thought the kids were hers. I had to lock her in a room to play outside with the 3 kids. The dog would get real upset and start snapping to warn, me to back off her children. Very protective, very admirable dog. Rip Sandy.

The Other health matter to be aware of is wobblers syndrome. My vet said my dog had it and would gradually make him immobile which I couldnt believe because he could run like a thoroughbred but it turns out the vet was right and a week or two later he woke up in the morning and began to stretch and he hit the floor and from then on had no use of his legs. It was awful but we took care of him like a baby and diaper trained him. He would let us know when he had to go and we would just slip a diaper underneath him and he would go. He was still a happy dog once we got used to our new life. But he was the most courageous and stowic dog I will probably ever see. We kept him for another year ( he was 10) then we had to move out of our rental and I had to have him put down and he died in my arms. As he died at the moment of death his spirit jumped into me and threw me back from the table! As I walked out I looked at his lifeless body and realized that our bodies are only a housing to our soul and once thats gone your physical being is nothing. I gave him one last command as he was going to sleep and that was to go wait for daddy and go get the birds! He was my son and meant everything to me and 17 years later I still think of him everyday. He was the best dog ever. I think If he would have been a person he would have been like jesus. He hated fighting, hated any kind of drugs or smoke or anything that altered our state. He would go rescue rocks I would throw in the water and dive under water sometimes a long time then he would bring it up on shore...the same rock...and hide it or keep it away from me so I wouldnt hurt it again. Everything deserved respect and to be safe...but by the time he came back I had already got another rock and was telling it that it was a bad rock and smack it then throw it in the water! He would be going crazy! Like no Dad! dont! and I would throw it! It was so funny! so gentle, so kind, so loyal, so sweet....I cant wait to meet him again later on. There will never be another BONUS....anyhow dont forget to tell about wobbelers syndrome.
Its the worst! BTW he was a Very large Red and Tan doberman that came from a litter of 2..Rare! They dont come any more beautiful!

Vet weighed him and said his weight was amazingly great. He got a great amount of exercise every day which kept his muscle well toned

[DogsWiz]

Do you think Doberman has been the right breed for you?
How challenging is it to how a Dobie, given it's extremely active physical and mental nature?
Let us know in the comments!

Found it interesting that the Doberman breed is historically younger than the Miniature Pinscher breed. Thanks!
