The Doberman Pinscher was orginally created in the 19th century, by a tax collector as a guard dog and to keep hecklers at bay. The breed is known to be loyal and protective. They are a higher energy working dog. The tail and ears are often cropped and docked for show and working guard dogs. Sadly, their traits have been used by some unsavory people, resulting in the breed being involved in some unfortunate circumstances. #Doberman #pinscher #large #dog #guard #guardian #protection #purebred
