History and Appearance - A member of the Working Group in the AKC, Doberman Pinschers were originally developed to be police and law enforcement dogs. They were often used in the German military and can immediately fill a person with dread upon sight. After all, they are big and dangerous-looking creatures, and extremely powerful as well.
The Doberman Pinscher has a fairly big and squarish head that is bullet shaped as well as a strong chest. Doberman Pinschers weigh between 55 to 90 pounds and stand at a height of 24 to 28 inches; they have a black coat with blue, red or fawn markings. They might spot white patches on their chest and almond-shaped eyes. The Doberman Pinscher's tail is commonly shortened or docked and it seems heartless to do so. This is undertaken to ascertain that future mishaps are avoided. They are apt to break an undocked tail and the pain associated with this is immense.
Characteristics - Doberman Pinschers do not have a lot of energy, but they have a lot of endurance. These dogs do need exercise in order to stay in shape and are not happy in small, apartment settings. They enjoy fenced-in yards in order to run around and explore. They enjoy walking for long distances with their masters even when they have a garden they can frolic in.
Doberman Pinschers get along great with other children and other pets, despite how they are frequently depicted. It is all about the training. They are devoted family pets and love to please their owners. If you train your dog to love the family, it will definitely do so. Young Doberman Pinscher pups can be overly eager and are unaware of their power, and knock children over but that is easily solved.
Begin training your Doberman Pinscher at a very early age and socialize them as much as possible to avoid any problems. Doberman Pinschers are smart dogs and can cause mischief when they have nothing to do and too much energy. They are large, strong dogs and can eat a fair amount of food. They must be given large dog formula to ensure they have a nutritious diet.
health Problems and Grooming - Doberman Pinschers can suffer from hypothyroidism and a certain hereditary disease called "Von Willebrand's disease." You will have to ask your vet to give you more information on these diseases to be sure your pet does not suffer from these ailments. They might have some health issues with their hearts. You will need to also make sure that your dog does not become overweight as you will have to deal with problems related to weight gain.
It is fairly simple to groom a Doberman Pinscher. Doberman Pinschers just need a good brushing once a week and checks to ensure their nails are trimmed short but that's about it. Although they look dangerous, they are actually affectionate towards the family and want to guard your safety.
