The other day in a dog park in Madrid I had the opportunity to see a Doberman on the loose, running and playing effusively with other smaller dogs, the truth is that you don't need much more than contemplate a scene real like this to immediately clear up any prejudice that may be had with this breed of dog.
False myths about the Doberman
Time ago there has been a lot of black legend surrounding the Doberman, numerous times we have heard things like that their brains grew faster that the skull before which sooner or later they ended up going crazy or even that they had been a breed of laboratory dogs created by Hitler himself in order to get dogs fierce and aggressive.
Nothing could be further from the truth The Doberman is a dog with some very interesting characteristics, such as loy alty to its owner and always willing to please him, he is an energetic dog and a great guardian and protector, as well as sensitive and very affectionate with his master.
Origin of the breed at the end of the 19th century
The history of the Doberman is most curious. The Doberman breed is quite young compared to others, it has its origin in the late 19th century when a German tax collector named Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann undertook the task of create a new breed of dog through a series of crosses to create a defense dog, since his job as a tax collector sometimes cost him more than a scareAnd in addition to this, he was afraid of thieves and robbers who could steal the money collected from his work.
In this way several dog breeds were crossed such as the rottweiler the weimaraneror the Manchester terrier among others, later giving rise to the appearance of the Doberman Pinscher, one of the best guard dogs in existence today.

It is believed that the first Doberman Pinscher came to the United States in 1908, but it was not until the end of World War II that The Dobermans were sent to Germany, it was then that the breed attracted fans. In 1921 the Doberman Pinscher Club of America was founded. Many imports became popular with breeders in this country.
