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.

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.

[@allanfischer9417]

One fact often overlooked is the Japanese were bush-wacking marines on Guam in WWII. Once the Dobermans were introduced, the Marines were never successfully ambushed again. There is a beautiful stone memorial on Guam in honor of he official Marines' War Dog, the Doberman's. (Google it)

[@pappystern2955]

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.

[@gregtenney7279]

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!

[@Christine-jz5nk]

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.

[@godwingeorge1880]

So which is the smartest dog breed?

It has its challenges, but worth it if you train them. One of the hardest things I found is others impression of them. It's hard to socialize a dog people fear on sight.

[@kjmps999]

Godwin George I believe Border Collies generally top most (if not all) lists I’ve come across. But the dobey is the best, in my biased opinion, when you take all factors, e.g. intelligence, speed, trainability, and, of course, stunningly good looks into account. Besides, there’s nothing as precious, strange, confusing, and adorable as when your dobey backs up and sets its butt on some part of your body - just for the sake of touching and being near you. 😂

I FOUND THAT ROTGIES HAD ALOT OD DOBERMAN PINCHER QUALITIES. KEEN TO LEARN, BE A BIG PART OF THEIR FAMILIES. WHEN MY 2 DOBIES PASSED YEARS AFTER, I DECIDED TO GIVE THE ROTTIE A CHANCE.

[@MrEscort17]

Need to check your facts for no.3. Would like to know what percentage of hearing increase is due to docking ears??

[@Eveningkiss]

One fact that gets over looked as there are 2 types of Doberman. The American Doberman (the ones most people think of) that are sleek, thin and smaller that make great family pets and then the European Dobberman which are a bit more muscular, slightly taller and heavier. They can be a touch more aggressive and need more socialization than the American doberman.

[@mc3744]

“Most people think of” in the US. In Europe we think of the European one. 😉

[@kandarppatel985]

But can American doberman use as a guard dog?

[@ComplexWork]

Kandarp Patel yes they can. Just depends on his or her drive and if they come from a working line breeder

[@a.r.5929]

I have both American and European and I would disagree. Neither is aggressive and both are great guard dogs. I believe aggression comes from how they are raised

I'm going for the European. I love it

[@tomaszkiryk556]

I had two otoplasty's, one of them a revision. It allows me to be more alert. I can see how cropping ears is a benefit to dogs. The tail being a hinderance, I have yet to understand.

[@crystallanders5]

I think it has something to do with their historical guard purpose. As in, if they were in an altercation, it would be easy to grab their tail and overpower the dog. I believe! I read something like this somewhere else.
