American Doberman

Elegance, sleek body, rust markings and thinner bone structure. That’s what American Doberman or Doberman Pinscher is for you.

This dog came to America in early 1900s (along with migrants and dog breeders) and got recognised as an American breed in 1908 by American Kennel Club.

Since then, it has been a total favourite of the Americans.
