Dobermans were developed in Germany by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, with the purpose to protect him in his line of work (tax collector, watchman, and dog catcher). Many different mixed breed dogs and some purebred (for example. greyhound) were purported to be used in the inception of the breed, however the purpose was to combine aggressiveness, protective behavior, loyalty, trainability, and physical prowess. The National Dobermann Pinscher Club in Germany in 1899 and AKC accepted the breed in 1908. World war I and II caused genetic bottlenecks abroad in Germany and Europe.

It seems the most predominant diseases in Dobermans at present are Dilated cardiomyopathy and cancer. However, breeders are also very concerned with Wobblers/CVI, autoimmune diseases and juvenile kidney disease.
The Doberman breed has been found to overall have high levels of inbreeding with low levels of heterozygousity. Comparison of the IR values of dobermans with the village dog model finds that Dobermans have lost a considerable amount of diversity. This is evidence of one or more bottlenecks within the breed.
Analysis of the breed has found that the genetics within the American Dobermans' encompasses the genetics of the European and most of the Australian Dobermans; however it appears that Australia may have some different genetics evolving. Dobermans have average of 6.27 alleles at their STR loci, but only an effective allele average of 2.31. This indicates that while there is not much retained genetic diversity in the population, it is also not very well distributed.

The Dobermans thus far studied possessed only seven DLA class I and nine DLA class II haplotypes. This is the lowest amount of DLA types found in a breed to date. Several of the types are unique to Dobermans. This is indicative of the Founder effect as well as potential for one or more other bottlenecks
The follow includes dogs with birthdates listed in the database.
DLA Haplotypes in the Breed
The Dog Leukocyte Antigen or DLA is the region in the canine genome that controls the immune system, among other things. There are three classes or areas, and the VGL Canine Diversity Test genotypes or records the two regions with the most variation. Because it is an area that mutates more rapidly than others, the method VGL uses is ideal for identifying specific combinations of DNA, and not merely showing whether a dog inherited two of the same sets of genetics from its parents or two different ones.
"Haplotype" is a generic name for a set of genes that are bound together and inherited as a set. The DLA Class I and Class II haplotypes are very tightly bound and represent about 2 million base pairs of DNA - a sizeable chunk. These two haplotypes together make an extended haplotype that is nearly always passed from parent to puppies as a pair. We therefore have two tables below showing both the combinations of DLA found in this breed and how often they appear, and also how often they appear individually.
Remember that frequency percentages do not show how many dogs carry them, but rather how many of these haplotypes exist in the breed as a whole. Every dog has two sets of DLA haplotypes, one inherited from dam, and one inherited from sire. These almost never recombine in new generations.
