Dobermanns and Beaucerons were bred for different purposes, Dobermanns were bred to guard people and property, whereas Beaucerons were bred to herd and protect sheep. Beaucerons are a Pastoral breed and Dobermanns are in the Working Group. At first glance the two breeds may look similar; they are usually both black and tan with the same level of intelligence. However, Dobermanns have a much smoother, shorter coat and are usually docked. Beaucerons are not docked amd have rougher, longer coats. Some Beaucerons may also have a harlequin coat colouration, similar to that of some Great Danes. The two breeds may display some different behaviours, with the Beauceron much more eager to herd (like a Border Collie). Dobermanns are not a herding breed and are much more inclined to guard. They both grow to a similar size and weight. Beaucerons have a unique double dew claw on their hind legs which Dobermanns do not have. Beaucerons are also exceedingly rare, whereas Dobermanns are relatively popular as guards and pets.

Is the miniature pinscher the same as a miniature Doberman?
No. The German Pincher (Standard Pinscher) is one of the foundation breeds that were used to create the Doberman. The Doberman was created in Germany by a tax collector Mr. Louis Dobermann. Many crosses were used to create the Doberman. German Pinschers, Rottweilers, Beauceron Pinschers, Manchester Terriers, and the addition of the Greyhound gave the Doberman its' sleek and racey look. The German Pinscher(Standard Pinscher), besides helping to create the Doberman was one of the foundation breeds of The Minature Pinscher. The Minature Pincher like the Doberman had several breeds crosses to set the type for The Minature Pinscher. German Pinchers, Dachshunds, the small toy Greyhounds called the Italian Greyhound helped create a diminuative version of the German Pincher. The Minature Pincher called Min-Pins, and are mistakenly called Mini-Dobie. They did not decend from the Doberman. But both decended from the mid sized German Pincher. (The Standard Pincher). In actuality this answer is incorrect. Karl Frederich Louis Dobermann the creator of the Doberman pinscher did not use the Manchester Terrier or Greyhound. After his death in 1894 his kennel was purchased and the new kennel breeder introduced the Manchester as well as the Greyhound and in all likelihood the Great Dane as the dogs size grew larger after his death. The German Pinscher is in fact a smooth coated Standard Schnauzer that first appeared in the mid 1700's. Long after the Miniature Pinscher was in existence. It had nothing to do with the Miniature Pinscher (Zwergpinscher) which is simply a cross of the smooth coated Dachshund with an Italian Greyhound. By 1895 the Pinscher-Schnauzer Klub of Germany recgnized the German Pinscher as a separate breed so long as there was 3 generations of pedigree to substantiate it. It was officially given the name "Deutscherpinscher" which in English translates to German Pinscher. For the record there is no breed "Beauceron pinscher". Nor did the German Pinscher play any role in the creation or as breed stock for the Miniature Pinscher. The only documented study ever on the creation of the Zwergpinscher (miniature Pinscher) was done in the early 1800's and posted in 1836 by Dr. Frederich Reichenbach who after years of study concluded the breed was derived from just 2 separate breeds, Dachshund and Italian Greyhound. The other variations as to the creation of the Miniature Pinscher have no basis in fact and were started years ago with no doumentation to support it. It just keeps getting copied and reprinted by everyone who thinks they know the breed but have failed to take time to actually research beyond the shores of the US. Even in Germany the land of origin this rumor is well known to be just that a rumor. German farmers created the breed and for the purpose it was designed for, a swift ratter. In all likelihood though the "Deutscherpinscher" though not yet recognized as a separate breed from the Standard Schnauzer, was probably used by Dobermann in the beginning. The German Pinscher though nearly became extinct by WWII. If it had not been for Werner Jung, who escaped Germany with what was purported to be 3 registered German Pinscher bitches. Unfortunately with no males to be found he turned to oversized Miniature Pinscher males he found on farms as breed stock. It took him nearly 15 years but by the end of the 1950's he had resurrected the German Pinscher we see today. So the Miniature Pinscher breed stock can be found in the German Pinscher but not the other way around. One more note, the word "pinscher" does NOT translate or mean Terrier. It is taken from the English word "pincher" and was used to describe the biting action of the breed. In fact, Dobermann's do not have this biting action though the German Pinscher does. The Terrier breeds are the only breeds created by man for the sole purpose of killing other animals. Both the Miniature Pinscher and German Pinscher (once recognized) are ratters with high prey drive.
What two dogs make a German Shepherd?
Dobermans were originally breed from German Pinschers, Rottweilers, Beauceron, Pinschers, Greyhounds, English GreayhoundsThe origin of the Doberman Pincher isn't completely traceable. It is thought that dobermans are bread from German Pinchers (very smart breed), German Herd Dogs, Great Danes, and Rottweilers. Of course without knowing for sure, there can be all kinds of combinations. I have 2 dobermans now, and have had 2 others (separate times) in the past. Through my personal research, I find these breeds to be most consistently mentioned in literature about dobermans. - also the breed has changed since it's arrival to America after WWII.
Which is more dangerous a rottweiler or Doberman?
That is a question that should be rephrased as "who is more dangerous... a rottweiler owner or a doberman owner?" Louis Doberman (the original breed creator) used Rottweilers to add both strength and calmness to the doberman pincher. Doberman pinchers are extremely loyal to their owners/families and because of that they are known to be very protective. They are very affectionate and extremely intelligent dogs who can be trained to do just about anything.I don't know a lot about Rottweilers, but I think the question rests within the owner of the dog. If the owner has a strong-willed, extremely active, and very powerful dog and they are prepared to support the needs of the animal in positive ways, then there shouldn't be any danger involved.
How do you get a white doberman?
White Doberman Pinschers or Albino Doberman Pinschers are born when two parents carrying the recessive "Z" Gene are paired together. While many people think white dobermans are a novelty dog they are actually looked down on by the AKC and the DPCA. White doberman pinschers have a tendency to carry more hereditary disease, have weaker immune systems, and have shorter life spans than the other colour variations within the breed. No reputable breeder would ever breed to a dog who even carried the Z Gene or who had a white doberman in their lines. It is not good for the dogs, and it serves only to weaken the breed. Check out the Doberman Pinscher Club of America - DPCA.org for more information.
