Doberman Pinscher Breed Information
Just Doberman Pinschers 2010 Wall Calendar
Strong and faithful, a Doberman Pinscher is a devoted companion. This very intelligent and self-confident dog was originally bred in Germany by Louis Doberman, a tax collector who not surprisingly desired a brave guardian to accompany him in his travels through hostile neighborhoods. The elegant Dobies in this magnificent wall calendar will fearlessly guide their owners through 2006.
