History of the Dobermann

The Dobermann was first bred in the 1880s by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, a German tax collector who also managed a dog pound in Apolda, Thuringia. Seeking a dog with stamina, strength, and intelligence to protect him, Dobermann selectively bred dogs of various breeds available to him. While the exact mix of breeds remains uncertain, likely contributors include the Beauceron, German Pinscher, Rottweiler, Weimaraner, old German Shepherd, Greyhound, and Manchester Terrier.

Our Story huelshof Dobermanns

never overbreeding, always prioritizing health.

Cropping & Docking

All puppies tails are docked. We do not crop ears. While we firmly support ear cropping for health reasons—all of our Dobermanns have cropped ears—it is a process that requires significant commitment. Proper posting and cleaning are essential, and it can take 1–2 years for the ears to stand correctly. If you would like your puppy’s ears cropped, please let us know, and we will be happy to discuss options with you.
