Breed Characteristics

About Dobermann

The Dobermann is a medium-to-large breed known for its loyalty, intelligence, and protective nature. Originally bred in Germany for guarding and police work, they are agile, alert, and highly trainable. Dobermanns are energetic dogs requiring daily exercise and mental stimulation. They are affectionate and bond closely with family members but can be wary of strangers, making early socialization essential. Their short coat is easy to maintain, but they still benefit from regular brushing. They thrive in active households where they receive attention, training, and regular physical activity.

What to Avoid

Dobermanns should not be fed chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, or excessive fatty foods. Avoid giving bones that can splinter and cause internal injury. Stick to a balanced diet appropriate for large, active breeds to prevent digestive or joint issues.
