What breeds were mated to establish the Doberman?
The Doberman Pinscher is a breed of domestic dog that was developed around 1890 by Louis Doberman, a German tax collector and dog breeder. Doberman created the breed by crossing various herding breeds with Rottweilers, German Pinschers, and Weimaraners. The result was a large, powerful, and intelligent dog that was well-suited for guard duty and police work.
