DOBERMANN

In a village of Apolda, in the state of Thuringen,in the southern part of Germany lived LOUIS DOBERMANN(1823-1894).He had a great interest in breeding dogs and was certainly exposed,through his various occupations and by attending the "dog market",to a variety of dogs.That enabled him,along with his two friends,Herr Rebel and Herr Stegmann,to proudce within a few generations dogs that quickly became renowned as a fearless protection dog. These dogs could also be used as a gun-dog, for eradicating vermin, and for herding sheep. They were said to be very intelligent,to have great stamina, and were highly trainable.
The exact genesis of the Doberman is not konwn, but listed below are suggestions that appear to make up the ancestry of the Doberman. Rottweiler - The early Doberman was coarse, heavy headed, short-legged-steady and self-reliant.
