Yep, I hear this stuff all the time. Alaskan Shepalutes, Labordoodles, Mini Boxers...Now German Dobies.

Everyone wants someting novel. And the peope that own these dogs will defend them with thier honor with thier life. Would I buy one...no.

The new hot topic in working breeds like the dobie is that somehow "european dogs" are somehow better. I have found this to be not the case.

It's a gimmick.

Look under German Pinscher. They are an AKC breed. It's the oldest of the Pinscher "family", medium sized, was used to breed the miniature pinschers and the larger dobermans.

I dont' think that it refers to either of those.

Rather, german dobermans refers to Doberman Pinschers that are closely related to or offspring of Doberman Pinschers that are in the German Doberman Pinscher club, from German-bred dog lines. Germany doesn't have an all breed kennel club like the AKC or Canadian Kennel Club, instead each breed's registration and pedigrees is maintained by the individual German national breed club for that breed.

As I understand it, a lot of respectable American doberman breeders are using imported dobes from German lines in their breeding programs.

Sounds to me as well she was meaning the German Pinscher.
Since she described it as not a tiny dog, but not larger like the Doberman...seems to me German Pinscher is what it was.

Though many times people do tend to call their dogs using the country of origin in front even though it isnt the common name for the breed ....examples: Mexican Chihuahua, Chinese Pug, German Rottweiler, etc.
People are like slinky's, not really good for much. But its still fun to push them down the stairs.

I stand corrected...sort of.

I am a little confused. I thought that a doberman wasnt even in a min pin. I thought it was 2 little dogs and they look like a little doberman when breed togegther. Is there actually any doberman in a min pin?

I'm guessing also that she is referring to a German pinscher.

Immunique: The German pinscher was used to produce both the miniature pinscher (much older breed) and the Dobermann pinscher. Dobermanns are NOT in the breed history of the min pins. As usual, there is some disagreement, but most believe the min pin breed was produced by crosses including the German pinscher, Italian greyhounds, and doxies. Dobies include the German pinscher, rotties, possibly greyhounds, etc.
