From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dobermann (alternatively spelled Doberman in North America) or Doberman Pinscher is a breed of domestic dog. Dobermanns are sometimes used as guard dogs and police dogs, more so in Europe than North America. In many countries, Dobermans are one of the most recognizable breeds, in part because of their actual roles in society, and in part because of an undeserved stereo-type for being aggressive. However, Dobermanns are, in general, a gentle, loyal, loving, and highly intelligent breed. A typical pet Dobermann attacks only if it believes that its property or family are in danger.
