About the Doberman Pinscher
The Doberman Pinscher is a large dog breed originating in Germany. Adult dogs typically weigh 60 to 100 pounds and live 10 to 13 years. The breed is described as highly-intelligent, loyal, reserved-with-strangers, family-bonded.
Active owners with time for daily structured exercise and training. Dobermans bond intensely with family. Sedentary households or owners not committed to consistent positive-reinforcement training.
Adult Doberman Pinschers need about 75 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 90 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
