The Doberman Pinscher was developed in Germany during the late 19th century by a man named Louis Dobermann. Dobermann worked as a tax collector, a dangerous job because of bandits in the streets. Coincidentally, Dobermann was also the town dogcatcher, so he often took a pup along for protection while he was making his rounds. Eventually, Dobermann began breeding dogs in attempt to create the ideal companion and protector. The result was an early form of the Doberman Pinscher. It's uncertain exactly which dogs Dobermann used to create the breed, but many believe that the Dobie is a mix of Rottweilers, German Pinschers, and Black and Tan Terriers. After Dobermann's death, German breeders continued his work of breeding Doberman Pinschers, and the breed arrived in America in 1908. Over time, the Doberman Pinschers popularity continued to grow. In fact, it was named the second most popular breed in the United States in 1977.
