Doberman Pinscher History

The origin of the Doberman comes from a fella named Louis Dobermann. He lived in the town of Apolda, in the Thuringia district of Germany. Louis was a tax collector, so he was naturally hated. His job of collecting money was dangerous because there were bandits in the area who might attack him as he made his rounds. He also doubled as the town dogcatcher so he would take along a dog for protection. Dobermann began breeding dogs with the idea of a loyal companion and protector in mind. The result of his breeding experiments was the early Doberman Pinscher.
There are no records about what dogs Dobermann used to create the breed, but it is speculated that the Rottweiler, German Pinscher, and Black and Tan Terrier are part of the mix. When Dobermann died in 1894, the true knowledge of the breeds that were combined to make the Dobie went with him to his grave. Because of his contributions in developing the breed, however, it was named in his honor.
After the death of Louis Doberman, a breeder named Otto Goeller is credited with shaping the Doberman into a more usable dog.
During World War I, the number of Dobies in Europe declined severely, because people who were starving couldn't afford to keep large dogs. Dobies who survived were owned by the military, police, and very wealthy people. Breeding was a luxury; only the very best were bred.
After 1921, nearly all the top German sire and progeny were brought to the United States. Then came World War II, and the Doberman Pinscher was again in peril in Germany. Many think that if Americans hadn't previously brought so many dogs to the United States, the breed would be extinct.
In the mid 1900s, the Germans dropped the word Pinscher from the name, and the British dropped it a few years later.
Over the years, breeders have worked diligently to take the edge off the original Dobie's sharp personality — with good results. Although the Doberman is protective of his family and home, he is known as an affectionate and loyal companion.

Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka History

The Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka might go back as far as the 1700’s. They obviously come from Russia. It is speculated that they came from Napoleon and were known as the French Bolonka. The Russians weren’t exactly known for breeding dogs that didn’t have a working purpose. They liked to breed dogs that were working breeds. When Krushchev came to power in 1960 he lifted the breeding of non-superfluous breeds. They were bred as the locals started to reside more in high-rise apartments and there was a need for smaller dogs that would act as companions. These dogs are becoming more and more common. They are sometimes referred to as the dogs of the 21st century. They started to become more common in the United States after 2002.
