All About the Doberman Pinscher: Description

Doberman Pinschers are a common sight in the

movies. People are used to seeing people running
for their lives as aggressive dogs lunge at them
with demonic looking eyes. However, in real life,
most Dobermans are actually loyal, intelligent
family pets.
The American Kennel Club classifies the
Doberman Pinscher as a member of its Working
Group. These dogs were originally bred to be
police dogs. They were also commonly used in the
German military.

All About the Doberman Pinscher: Description

The sight of one of these big, dangerous looking

dogs coming toward them filled people with
dread. After all, they are extremely powerful
animals.
The Doberman Pinscher is a square dog with a powerful
chest and a bullet shaped head. This breed weighs in at
anywhere from 55 to 90 pounds and stands 24 to 28 inches
tall. The Doberman's short coat is black, red, blue, or fawn
with tan markings. Most Dobermans have their tails
docked. While this may sound cruel, a docked tail can
prevent painful accidents in the future. More than one
undocked Doberman has accidentally broken his tail.
