    The Doberman is a mixture of breeds that include the Great Dane, the Greyhound, the German

    Shorthaired Pointer and theRottweiler.


    Except in the albino color, in which it is extremely difficult to see, each purebred Doberman has
    markings on the chest, paws/legs, muzzle, above the eyes, and underneath the tail. They are
    powerful in the hindquarters and can sometimes be top-heavy because of their deep chest (see
    Appearance below). Nevertheless, the Doberman is traditionally a very athletic breed and many
    excel in agility and obedience trials. The muzzle is long, and so affords the leverage for an
    extremely strong bite. The Doberman stands on its toes (not the pads) and is not usually heavyfooted. Ideally, they have an even and graceful gait. Traditionally, the ears are cropped and
    posted, and the tail is docked. However, in some countries it is illegal to do so.
    Doberman Pinschers are well known as intelligent, alert, and tenaciously loyal companions
    and guard dogs. Personality varies a great deal between each Doberman, but if taken care of
    and trained properly they tend to be loving and devoted companions. The Doberman is driven,
    strong, and sometimes stubborn. Owning one requires commitment and care, but if trained well,
    they can be wonderful family dogs. Unlike some breeds (such as the German Shepherd),
    Dobermans are eager to please only after their place is established in their pack and that place is
    not as an alpha. With a consistent approach they can be easy to train and will learn very quickly.
    As with all dogs, if properly trained, they can be excellent with children. Dobermans adapt
    quickly, though they take their cue from their leader and value attention

    Characteristics
    Appearance
    Ram club standards describe Doberman Pinschers as dogs of medium-large size with a square
    build and short coat. They are compactly built and athletic with endurance and swiftness. The
    Doberman Pinscher should have a proud, watchful, determined, and obedient temperament.
    [3]

    The dog was originally intended as a guard dog,[3][4] so males should have a masculine,

    muscular, noble appearance.[3][4] Females are thinner, but should not be spindly.[3]
    Size and proportions
    The Doberman is a dog of medium large size. Although the breed standards vary among kennel
    and breed clubs, according to the FCI standard the dog typically stands between 68 to 72
    centimetres (27 to 28 in),[1] and The Kennel Club in the UK quote 69 centimetres (27 in) as being
    ideal;[5] the female is typically somewhere between 63 to 68 centimetres (25 to 27 in),[1] 65
    centimetres (26 in) being ideal.[5] The Doberman has a square frame: its length should equal its
    height to the withers, and the length of its head, neck and legs should be in proportion to its body.
    [3]

    European lines, particularly those from the former Yugoslavia and former Soviet Union, tend to

    be larger than those in North America.

    There are no standards for the weight of the Doberman Pinscher except as given in the standard
    used by the FCI. The ideal dog must have sufficient size for an optimal combination of strength,
    endurance and agility.[5] The male generally weighs between 4045 kilograms (8899
