Doberman Structure by Pat Hastings

One of the most emphatic recommendations I offer to novice dog people—no matter what their breed—is to spend time studying Doberman Pinschers in the ring.  For one thing, the Doberman is a structurally “generic” breed.  A Doberman should be so perfectly balanced that you are visually drawn to the dog as a whole.  It is:

  • A square breed from the forechest to the buttocks.

  • A medium breed in every characteristic.  No aspect should be overdone.

  • A totally balanced breed.  All parts are in balance with the whole.

The other reason I encourage novices to study Dobermans in conformation competition is because structural soundness is fundamental to the Doberman’s breed type.  There is no other way for a Doberman to excel in conformation. Read the ArticleAdobe Acrobat Required
