Question on Doberman Pinchers.?

Question

This may be a weird question, but when you refer to (the very beautiful) Doberman breed, what's the plural? Is it Dobermans or Dobermen? (I know you can say Doberman Pinchers but lets face it, not many people say that!)
Thanks for your help!!!

Answer 1

Heya, like you i think these dogs are stunning, i work at a rescue and we had 3. They are reffered to as dobermanns, or in short, dobies.

Answer 2

FYIThe breed is named after the tax collector that started the breed.He got the dogs from the pound.
The answer to your question is Doberman Pinchers.

Answer 3

Most of the "bad" things you have seen or heard about Dobermans is untrue. Because the breed is often depicted in TV and movies as an aggressive guard dog, people just assume that all Dobermans have those charicterists. The main reason a Doberman is good for protection is because a lot of people are afraid of them, not because they are really dangerous. Like ANY breed, a Doberman will usually protect its home, but they are not naturally viscous of aggressive. From the time you put your new Doberman in the car with you and head home, its personality begins to change and adapt to its new situation. Some Dobermans are quiet and reserved for a few days in their new home while they patiently wait to see what the routine is going to be. Others become boisterous and excitable now that they have a family all to themselves. And then there are those who really change very little and seem to just go with the flow. If your Doberman seems reserved or shy or uncertain, make sure it has a crate that is in a room or location in your home that is quiet and private. Introduce the dog to its crate by giving it a treat and talking calmly then praising it when it goes inside the crate. For the first few times of introducing it to its crate, you might not bother shutting the door. You want your new dog’s initial exposure to its crate to be a positive one. If your dog is boisterous and overly excited, do the same thing by introducing it to its crate and have it go in and out several times—each time offering it a treat and moderate praise. And don’t be overly concerned if once in its crate, it lets you know in no uncertain terms that it doesn’t like it there. Dobermans are nick-named "Velcro-dogs" because they tend to stick to their people. Some Dobermans start to show this tendency within minutes of meeting their new owners, others take several days or weeks. Regardless of how much or how little your dog seems to enjoy your company at first, your dog needs plenty of contact with you to become a happy, well-adjusted member of your family. Take time to play with and train your Doberman, to go for walks, and to sit in quiet companionship. While you may have a hard time imagining that your boisterous new Doberman would enjoy curling up with you to watch a movie and share a bowl of popcorn, a good workout can transform him into a calm companion, at least for a few hours.

Answer 4

If you're in the UK, the correct name for the breed is Dobermann (Not Doberman Pinscher). Plural is Dobermanns (though I always think Dobermen sounds better!)

Answer 5

The breed is named after Herr Dobermann, so it is called Doberman, or the plural Dobermans.. (former Doberman breeder)
