5. Doberman Pinscher: The Sharp Strategist
The Doberman Pinscher’s sleek, athletic build is matched by a quick and decisive mind. Bred for personal protection, they needed the intelligence to accurately assess situations and act with courage while remaining obedient. Dobermans are fast learners who are highly sensitive to their owner’s commands. Despite a formidable reputation, they are affectionate family dogs who require training that engages their intellect, like advanced obedience challenges. A mentally stimulated Doberman is a calm and incredibly loyal companion.
