An important consideration in training the Doberman for IPO/Schutzhund is understanding their aggression/defense. In my opinion, our limited success in the sport has a lot to do with methods of training which do not take these qualities into consideration. References to the herding group (German Shepherds, Malinois) will be made throughout this article.

In the village of Apolda, in the state of Thuringen, in the southern part of Germany lived Louis Dobermann (1823 – 1894). Louis Dobermann was employed as a tax collector, a “dog catcher”, a night watchman, and as a supervisor for local slaughter houses. As a night watchman, Herr Dobermann found his need for a suitable dog to accompany him on his rounds. It is also not beyond imagining a protection dog would be desirable while working as a tax collector carrying large amounts of money.

Dobermanns in Germany in 1960's and 70's and their breeding utilisation

Below is a translated transcript from pages 22–63 from the book 'Zucht und Sport mit dem Dobermann' by Dobermann Judge and breeder Ottmar Vogel. In this section of the book Ottmar Vogel writes about prominent Dobermanns from the beginning of the 60's to the early 80's.

Chico v. Forell
Odin v. Forell
Falko v. Hagenstolz

	Chico v. Forell
	Odin v. Forell
	Falko v. Hagenstolz

Chico v. Forell, descends from Odin v. Forell (Champion SchH2), whose father was Falko v. Hagenstolz (BDSG SchH1) and his mother was BDSG Cita Germania (from the very successful kennel "von Germania", Owner: Mr. August Schneider of Remscheid Germany). Chico's clear strengths were his very compact, square build with strong bone, very wide and deep chest, beautifully ascending topline, with a long upper arm as well as correct croup and tail set. The angulation of his hindquarters were regarded as somewhat steep. His pronounced broad head was strong yet long with a small arch however (Roman nose) on the nose bridge line. Chico's excellent build was established via his father Odin Forell and grandfather Falko, because Odin and Falko were also short powerful dogs, substantial and with good bone strength. Odin should have maybe had a somewhat longer head. Odin had a very thick coat of hair, although some of his offspring had even longer hair. In breeding however this wasn't of great importance.

History of  v. Franckenhorst kennel

article by Barbara Bordas Edina (kennel di Satti, Hungary)

To get to know the Dobermann of today, we need to study its history. In this history, the kennel of Sonja David von Franquemont Freudenberg played a significant role: it gave the breed a great number of excellent specimens, without whom the breed wouldn't have developed to the current level. The von Franckenhorst kennel was founded by an Indonesian woman, Sonja David von Franquemont Freudenberg. Her first Dobermann didn't meet her requirements, therefore she was regularly attending the great European shows and got acquainted with an acknowledged German breeder, owner of the v. Eichenhain kennel, and bought a male from him: Ero v. Eichenhain, son of Andy v. Eichenhain and Wilma v. Fürstenfeld.

The next purchase was a female, Amarilda v. Wachenburg, puppy of Ero. In 1971, the first litter, a combination of Amarilda and Chico v. Forell, came into the world.
