The Doberman Pinscher was created in the late 19th century by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, a German tax collector, who bred various dogs for his personal protection. It gained renown as an excellent guard, police, and military dog.

A medium-large breed with a muscular, sleek, and streamlined body. Its short, smooth coat comes in various colors like black, red, blue, and fawn, typically with rust markings.
