Today’s Dobermann
Dobermanns have come a long way from the
fierce dog created by Louis Dobermann. Today’s
Dobermann is an affectionate, loving family dog.
They are not for people who want a dog to look
at from a distance. Dobermann’s are intensely
loyal to their families and demand attention.
Their priority in life is to be with you, love you
and guard you 24 hours a day.
Dobermanns are very versatile dogs. They
possess the attributes of superior intelligence,
strength, learning ability, agility and have
a strong capacity to focus without being
distracted that has resulted in them being used
successfully as working dogs for many years.
