Originating in Germany, Dobermans were initially bred by a tax collector named Louis Dobermann in the late 19th century. They were created to be a versatile working dog, excelling in tasks such as guarding, police work, and search and rescue. Dobermans are medium to large-sized dogs with a sleek and muscular build. They have a short coat that comes in various colors, including black, blue, red, and fawn. Known for their alertness and quick learning abilities, Dobermans are highly trainable and make excellent companions and family pets when properly socialized and trained
