History
Dobermann is the only breed originating in Germany that
is also named after its creator Karl Friedrich Louis
Dobermann (02.01.1834 - 09.06.1894), resided in the town
of Apolda, Germany.
He is believed to have worked as a tax agent and working
as a dogcatcher on the side. As a dogcather he was
authorized to capture stray dogs and it was from these
dogs his pure breed with speciel attention to
instinctive intelligence courage and fast response. The
so-called butcher dogs (the earlier Rottweilers), which
at the time were a relatively pure breed along with the
Pinchers, played a major role in creation of the
Dobermans.
Finally the French Shepard beauceron is believed to be
an ingredient in the Dobermans as its four colours
(Black, brown, blue and Isabel) are common in Dobermans.
The German Shepard cannot be secluded from the list
either at the early stages of Dobermans. In 1895 the
breed was officially recognized in Germany under the
name “Doberman Pincher” Later on the last word in the
name was erased. Mr Doberman never lived to see his
breed become recognized. He passed away one year
earlier.
In the meantime Doberman’s work was continued with great
skills and visions by 2 other Apolda citizens, Otto
Göller (Kennel “von Thüringen”) And
Göswin Tischler (Kennel “Von Grönland) In
1899 the first special club with Otto Göller as chairman
was established.
Around the turn of the century the English Manchester
Terrier was bred into the Dobermans with the purpose of
improving the coat and creating markings that were
darker and more outlined. The Manchester terrier also
contributed with the very compact almost cat-like paws.
So far the Doberman was relatively small dog at only 56
cm and had a rather unrefined appearance. In order to
make it taller and more elegant and black greyhound was
introduced into the breed. Since about 1910 no other
dogs have become part of the Doberman-recipe.
For many years of the Doberman’s existence it was used
guard dogs and K9 in the police force. Since the
breeders started aiming for a more relaxed and laid back
temper the dogs have been know both as working dogs and
family dogs.

HD
HD is an abbreviation of Hip Dysplacia. It is a
condition where the end of the thighbone does not match
the socket in the hip. HD is hereditary and the heritage
is what is known as polygenetic. This means that many
different genes decide if the individual dog will have
this condition. If a dog carries the gene it is in the
high-risk zone of developing HD, especially if the dogs
is exposed to negative impact such as poor diet, too
much exercise or accelerated growth. Dogs are examined
by x-rays on the hips. The images are sent to DKK who
then evaluate and determine the status. The images are
evaluated on a 5-step scale – A B C D E – A being the
best while E being the poorest. With Dobermans the
examination is mandatory if the dogs is to be used for
breeding. Only dogs with HD A and B will be approved for
breeding.
