Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann needed to protect himself and the tax he collected from thieves. He then successfully bred the dog he needed, since he was also the town dog catcher and keeper of the pound. The breed was named after him though there were no records of which dogs were mixed and used.
Dobes are powerful, sleek, and athletic. They are commonly utilized in police and military service since they have a reputation for being aggressive and vicious.
Having Dobes as pets would mean you have reliable guards and loyal companions. However, their amazing qualities should be consistently honed through a variety of outdoor and physical activities.
