Differences Between European Dobermans and American Dobermans

European Dobermann Pinschers Focus on reshaping

Doberman Pinscher was originally produced in Germany as the personal protector of individuals and families as well as for police and military. Across Europe, this is still the case. Here Doberman or Dobermann as written, looks like a dog primarily for protection work and breed with the intention of maintaining properties necessary to protect the dog, commonly called "workability'.

In fact, before the Doberman offspring can be registered in Europe, one of its parents must hold the title of Schutzhund. Schutzhund is German for "protection dog 'and refers to a system for testing the working dog breeds for workability. It has grown into a popular sport in Europe, a little over the United stated, although the American Kennel Club (AKC) does not allow its affiliates to sanctioned Schutzhund trials.

Under the common European and German philosophy, the Doberman is a compact dog untouchable by anyone but its owner, operator, or a family. He must be strictly obeyed in all circumstances, and is expected to meet threats with all-out aggression.

It is understood and accepted that the Doberman pinscher is a real physical danger to anyone approaching the Doberman family home or threatening manner. Understand, the European Doberman, like all healthy and properly socialized Dobermans, not malicious. mindless attack dog is not the goal of Schutzhund-the opposite in fact. mindless attacker is useless in protection work.

ideal protection Doberman is clam and friendly, while the threat was released. Then it will emit loud warning barks and keep himself between the handler and his threats, not pulling or leaving the handler. Only when the threat of an attack, or when he commanded the ideal protection Doberman attack. That is the goal of preserving the performance and priorities in the European and German Doberman Pinscher breeding.

American Doberman Pinschers Focus on Pets and the ring

The main difference between American and European Doberman breeding of human social attitude. In the United States, where litigation involving dog bites is as rampant as irresponsible dog owners, the common consensus seems to be the only "vicious" dogs bite.

This was more evident than when the United Doberman Club was established in the U.S. after the AKC decided to prohibit the protection phase of Schutzhund, which includes working bite. United Doberman Club currently holds Schutzhund trials under the auspices of the American Working Dog Federation.

is also making this misguided social view starkly evident are the Breed specific laws have been proposed, many passed, in an effort to reduce dog bites. Advocates of Breed Specific legislation ignore the real cause of dog bite, irresponsible people, and place blame not only on the dog, but on specific breeds of dogs. It is unfair, but more importantly, it is ineffective. Breed Specific laws can not and will not fix the problem.

Regardless of popular attitude, many Doberman owners and breeders in the United States continues to work to maintain performance in the Doberman and participate in Schutzhund.

is partly due to the popular position, and partly just because of America's love of different aspects of the dog, the goals of most Doberman breeders in America for the production of pet or companion dogs and show dogs.

One of the reasons the Doberman is so popular in the U.S. that such love, gentle and devoted companion dog who fits exceptionally well in a busy American family. Quality breeders focused on producing the Doberman as a companion most concerned with health and temperament. However, most temperaments companion Doberman breeders look for is generally safe and friendly temperament.

In the U.S. there is no temperament tests required for admission Doberman puppies, certainly nothing approaching the intensity or required human dedication as well as with Schutzhund trials. This lack of temperamental standardization has allowed irresponsible breeders to register their ill planned litters, which contributed to the degradation of the Doberman breed. Irresponsible breeders are further degraded Doberman breed by placing their puppies with whoever offers money. It is located Doberman in the hands of irresponsible owners who have neglected Doberman needs, such as training and socialization, creating a problematic and dangerous Dobermans.

This irresponsible Doberman branches of production in the U.S. is certainly the main cause of the misguided American attitude toward the Doberman. It also contributes to many movies and video games depicting the Doberman as vicious.

Regardless of the temperament of standards, quality breeders in the United States maintain high standards on their own for the temperament of their breeding Dobermans. Quality breeders are highly discriminative when placing their puppies, they will just put them in homes that have demonstrated their willingness and ability to properly care for a Doberman

This is dedicated to the type of Doberman breeder, often called master breeder, is a guardian breed Doberman. Their breeding is well planned with the objectives of contributing to and improving the Doberman breed.

These dedicated master breeders have produced some of the healthiest and beautiful Dobermans in the world and have grown a strong branch of quality Doberman lines in the U.S., often including German imports. Dobermans from this branch, as compared to their European colleagues are wonderful, super-models Doberman world. They are living longer, and have the same characteristic Doberman temperament but slightly sweeter and more pleasant, soft temperament by European standards

This awesome branch of American Dobermans has taken over the ring in the U.S. show, no longer mentioned as a guard or protection dogs but as family friends.

Also producing quality American Dobermans, but contributing less Doberman breed, breeders have focused on a dog. The problem with these breeders is just that, they are focused on show confirmation-not health and temperament.

Differences between European and American Doberman Pinscher has caused some people suggest that the breed be split. However, any guard Doberman breed will fight like crazy ideas. In this way, would be drastically reduced, but small quality gene pool and will likely further reduce the American Doberman of properties and beyond.
