History of the Doberman Pincher
Around 1890 Karl Friedrich Louis Doberman of Apolda, Germany combined several dog breeds to create the Doberman Pinscher. He was a tax collector and ran the local pound. He selected dogs with courage, loyalty, and emotional sensitivity so that he could count on them as companion and protector. The Doberman soon came to America and was first registered with the American Kennel Club in 1908. By 1941 they were the 15th most popular dog breed and making many accomplishments at shows and in the working field. In 1944 and into WWII, Dobermans served as sentries, messengers, and scouts in the war. They continued to make accomplishments in many venues and serving our communities. Dobermans assisted with recovering human life as Search and Rescue dogs at Ground Zero, World Trade Center on 9/11. In 2008 we celebrated the 100 year Doberman centennial! ...for photos of this timeline and more detail visit http://dpca.org/breed/breed_history.htm
