    Which breed of dog took its name from the man who developed it, a night watchman and dogpound guard?

    Question #25727. Asked by MMQC.

    Siskin

    It's a Doberman Pinscher.


    Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann was a man of many talents. Aside from his duties as a tax collector and night watchman, he ran the dog pound in Apolda, a city in Germany's eastern province of Thueringen. Despite Dobermann's talents, his unique career combination did not make him popular, and during the 1880s he decided to breed a dog to accompany and protect him in his duties.
