During World War I, the number of Dobies in Europe fell sharply as starving people could no longer feed them. Surviving Dobies was owned by the military, police, and the wealthy. Breeding was a luxury; only the very best were bred.
After 1921 almost all German sires and offspring of the Spitz were brought to the United States. Then World War II came and the Doberman Pinscher was in danger again in Germany. Many believe that if Americans had not previously brought so many dogs to the United States, the breed would now be extinct.
In the mid-1900s the Germans took the word “Pinscher” out of the name and the British did the same a few years later.
Over the years, breeders have worked diligently to take the edge off Dobie’s original pungent personality – with good results. Although the Doberman pinscher is protective of his family and home, he is known to be a loving and loyal companion.
