The strong, intelligent,
and super active Doberman Pinscher was developed and bred in Germany
by Louis Doberman, primarily as a guard dog.
Many years down the line,
and this dog breed is now known the world over as one of the best guard dogs
around.
Thanks to their genetic makeup Dobermans perform excellently in search and
rescue training, protection training, military and police work, tracking,
and even therapy work.
There's hardly anything the Doberman Pinscher cannot do. However,
as you would expect, they are more suited to the hard knock life.
Dobermans are super loyal dogs.
Contrary to widespread perception of being very aggressive dogs,
they actually relish family companionship. Beneath the hard stern exterior,
and the fear that Dobermans command there is a soft,
friendly personality that enjoys friendship and companionship.
That being said, you still don't want to get on their bad side.
The Doberman Pinscher is a very active and super intelligent dog breed.
As a result, they can be trained to do almost anything,
which is why they perform great in almost all forms of service.
One of the greatest powers of the Doberman is its instinctively protective
nature.
This is one dog that will not hesitate to put its life on the line to protect
its owner. When they spot intruders and strangers,
the Doberman's first instinct is to fend off the threat.
They will do this by adopting a defensive posture and barking repeatedly.
However,
if the intruder refuses to retreat and the dog feels the safety of them or their
family is threatened, it will not hesitate to attack intently.
And oh boy, do you not want to get caught in a Dobermans grip.
Even the look of the Doberman is intimidating.
It has a very competent stance and stern gaze strong enough to instill fear
into even the bravest of hearts. With a slim and sleek athletic build,
the Doberman Pinscher is not the most muscular dog out there. However,
what it lacks in sheer strength, it makes up in athleticism,
a never say die attitude, and relentless energy.
Very few dog breeds can boast of having more energy than the Doberman Pinscher.
Thanks to its slim frame,
the Doberman is a super athlete and this is what makes it excel as a
service dog in the military and police.
It can run for a seriously long time without getting tired,
which is great when you're tracking and chasing down bad guys.
Did you know that a Doberman Pinscher was a war hero?

With that out of the way, let's meet our war hero. Doberman Kurt.
Kurt was the first canine casualty in the battle of Guam,
which took place in 1944 during the second world war.
During service,
Kurt went ahead of the American troops to warn them of the advancing Japanese
army. Unfortunately, while he was performing this duty,
he got hit by an enemy grenade and sadly lost his life. Nevertheless,
his efforts were not in vain as his raised alarm saved many soldiers.
He gave his life for his men.
If this account tells us anything about the Doberman,
it is that this is one of the bravest and most loyal dog breeds you'll ever see.
Kurt walked directly into the face of danger unwaveringly,
only armed with the knowledge that his efforts would help his fellow soldiers.
Louis Doberman sought to develop a dog that possessed the unique combination of
beauty and brawn.
The Doberman is the successful result of that quest.
It is a high-performance dog breed with the affection and loyalty of a guard
dog. A dog that will give its life for its owner without second thoughts.
It will protect its owner and their property at all costs with a combination of
intelligence and explosive power.
Truly when it comes to guard dogs that guarantee safety and loyalty,
they do not come much better than the Doberman Pinscher.
