What was the German Pinscher first bred for?

The German Pinscher was officially recognized in Germany in 1879 and has been protected and promoted since 1894 by the German Pinscher Schnauzer Club. During the years around the turn of the century, both smooth pinscher and coarse-haired schnauzer pups appeared in the same litters. The club initiated a policy requiring proof of three generations of pure smooth coats for registration. This quickly helped set type and made them a distinct breed from the Schnauzer. The German Pinscher played a role in the development of the Doberman and the Miniature Pinscher. The German Pinscher was recognized by the AKC in 2003. They have been used on farms as a vermin destroyer, herding livestock, watchdog, guard dog and family pet.

The word ''Pinscher'' is German for Terrier. However, as the Doberman Pinscher is not actually a Terrier, in the UK the word ''Pinscher'' was dropped and the breed is called the ''Dobermann'' instead. In other countries the word ''Pinscher'' was retained as the Dobermann is believed to have originated from Terrier breeds and therefore does have distant Terrier blood.
