Plural of Doberman; a large, muscular dog breed known for intelligence, loyalty, and sleek black-and-tan coloring.
Named after Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, a German tax collector and dog breeder who developed the breed in the late 1800s by crossing several dog breeds to create an ideal guard dog.
Dobermanns were literally engineered by one man to be the perfect dog — Dobermann wanted a loyal companion that looked intimidating, so he mixed pinschers, poodles, and other breeds in a pre-DNA era, guessing his way to a beloved breed.
