8. Doberman Pinscher

Advertisement
The Doberman Pinscher, or Dobermann, was first recognized in 1890 by German tax collector Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann. Dobermans are known for being sensitive, affectionate, and caring toward children they grow up with. These pets are strong and lively, making them excellent family guardians. However, their high energy and protective instincts can sometimes pose a problem. When in protection mode, a Doberman can become restless, aggressive, and dangerous. They require training, socialization, and exercise to prevent channeling their energy inappropriately.
