Pincher, LOL. It’s Pinscher.

I have had a Doberman for about a year now, and probably every dog I ever own from now on will be a Doberman. My dog is smart. She learns what she is being taught in two tries. Dobermans are not tje one-person dogs that shepherds are. They are loyal to whichever family member they are with. True family dogs.

“one-person dogs that shepherds are. They are loyal to whichever family member they are with.”

Being a 1-person dog doesn’t mean there is no affinity for anyone else. I’ve never seen that to be the case with our Shepherds. My dogs tend to be devoted 1st to me, but attached to all the family they know. Likewise my sister’s. Ask my parents, husband or toddler as well as her family.

Just remember...Dobermans are tax collector dogs!

That said, they are beautiful, majestic animals. My Golden used to train with a red one.

Most countries have dropped the “Pinscher” part entirely in favor of just “Dobermann”.

Congratulations on your new addiction.

We've had 15 Dobies over the years. . .4 right now. . and they are without a doubt the Rolls Royce of canines. Smart, elegant, graceful, intuitive and obedient, they have ruined me for any other breed.

We had two Dobermans who were with Pets on Wheels and they were naturals at the nursing home. Alas, the breed is short-lived - the only draw back
