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.
