Physical Characteristics
The Doberman Pinscher is wonderful dog. They are muscular with a well defined sharply angled head on top of a lean and powerful neck. Almond shaped, keenly alert, dark golden, or amber colored eyes. Large nose with wide nostrils. The ears of a Doberman if left natural are facing forward folding triangles. They have a broad chest, strong legs, and a neatly tapered waist. The tail also is long and tapering if not docked. The Doberman Pinscher has a magnificent sleek and shiny short coat that is close fitting coming in black and tan, blue-gray, fawn and white, and red…only some clubs consider the white markings to be a flaw.
Size
Mature male Doberman Pinschers stand between 26 and 28 in. tall at the withers, and the mature weight of the male is somewhere between 66 and 88 lbs. Female Doberman Pinschers when mature stand between 24 and 26 in. tall at the withers and their weigh is at full maturity is also somewhere between 66 and 88 lbs. As with most dog there are exceptions to this rule and some dogs have reached well over the 100 lb mark both female and male alike, and have been knows to stand over 30 in height at the withers…but these are exceptions.
