A Doberman in the woods shows off its whole look: a muscular body, long legs and an ever-alert gaze. The breed began in Germany in the late 1800s thanks to Louis Dobermann, a tax collector who also ran the local dog pound.
Since he traveled with money along risky roads, he wanted a dog that could go with him and keep him safe. He combined several breeds and ended up with a fast, smart, brave and extremely loyal dog. The breed took his name and quickly spread around the world.
For many years, Dobermans had their ears and tails cropped to make them look tougher. Today that practice is banned in many European countries because it causes pain with no benefit to the dog, and more and more American owners choose to skip it too. That is why you see more Dobermans like this one, with natural floppy ears and a long tail.
Even with their guard dog reputation, Dobermans are loving, sensitive and deeply attached to their families. They need daily exercise, brain games and reward-based training. A long walk in the woods is their idea of a perfect day.
