Louis Dobermann of Thuringen, Germany, became a tremendous influence in the dog world when he developed the Doberman Pinscher. Dobermann was a door-to-door tax collector, (and also rumored to be the keeper of the local dog pound) who decided to create a guard dog to accompany him while he did his work. It is believed that in the late 1800s, he crossed the German shepherd with the German pinscher, and subsequently crossed the creation with other breeds such as the Weimaraner, the greyhound, and the black and tan Manchester terrier. Some believe that Rottweilers and Beaucerson were also part of the mix. Eventually this led to the dog we know today as the Doberman pinscher. The original Doberman had a heavier look, but later breeders developed a racier looking dog..... Find out more about this dog breed.
