The Doberman
Pinscher is an elegant, muscular and very powerful dog.
Its chest is well proportioned. Its back is short and
the neck is lean and muscular. Its hair is short, thick,
hard and tight to its body. Its eyes are dark with a
lively, intelligent expression. The ears are usually
cropped and the tail docked, although in some countries
this practice is banned. When left natural, the ears
will develop to look somewhat like a hound as well as
the tail. The front legs are perfectly straight. The
Dobermans gait must be elastic, elegant and cover a
lot of ground.
