Doberman
Sleek guard dog
A Doberman is a large, sleek dog breed with a muscular build, typically black or reddish-brown with rust markings.
Originally bred in Germany as guard dogs, Dobermans are known for their alertness, loyalty, and intelligence.
The breed's cropped ears and docked tail give it a distinctive angular silhouette: Their Doberman barked once and the intruder fled.
Also called Doberman pinscher.
