Is there such thing as a mini Doberman?
NO THERE IS NOT! There are Doberman Pinschers and then there are Miniature Pinschers. They both have the same markings and look very similar aside from the obvious size difference. However, they are not at all related. The Miniature Doberman originated in Germany and were a breed of Italian Greyhounds and Dachshunds. Also, Mini Pinschers originated much earlier than the Doberman. Calling the Min Pins "Miniature Dobermans" is a very common mistake. I have two Doberman Pinschers (:
How large can Doberman Pinschers get to be?
There are no standards for the weight of the Doberman Pinscher. The ideal dog must have sufficient size for an optimal combination of strength, endurance and agility.
Are Doberman pinschers good for allergy sufferers?
Not necassarly, since they do shed and have dander they can affect allergy sufferers
How do you get a white doberman?
White Doberman Pinschers or Albino Doberman Pinschers are born when two parents carrying the recessive "Z" Gene are paired together. While many people think white dobermans are a novelty dog they are actually looked down on by the AKC and the DPCA. White doberman pinschers have a tendency to carry more hereditary disease, have weaker immune systems, and have shorter life spans than the other colour variations within the breed. No reputable breeder would ever breed to a dog who even carried the Z Gene or who had a white doberman in their lines. It is not good for the dogs, and it serves only to weaken the breed. Check out the Doberman Pinscher Club of America - DPCA.org for more information.
What country are Doberman Pinschers from?
Dobermann dogs are from Germany. It is almost certain there is not pinscher dog bred into the Dobermann. The USA is the only country that has not dropped the pinscher name.
