Originally bred in Germany as a protector and companion for a tax collector, the Doberman pinscher has since been seen as a working dog everywhere from junkyards to private homes to municipal police forces. And while they"re still one of the most popular guard dogs in the world, Dobermans have also become known as loyal, loving family pets. Dobermans (or "Dobies," as they"re affectionately called by lovers of the breed) are intelligent, active, and adaptable dogs who are happiest when they"re with their family units. They can be extremely versatile pets, able to adapt to a wide variety of living situations and family sizes.
