There's somewhere around 12,000 Dobermans registered in the U.S. (according to the latest publication i read). Spread that all across the U.S. and it leaves a lot of gaps! Whats that about 1 doberman for every 25,000-30,000 people?

In my city of about 350,000 people i've met 5 dobermans (although i'm in canada), that includes mine who i've had for a year and a half.

I would agree that their popularity is down from the past likely because of their reputation but less demand is probably a good thing!

Per the March 2006 AKC Gazette: In 2005 there were 11,662 NEW Dobermans registered with the AKC

Thanks for the correction. 11,662 new registrations seems like a lot of new dobermans every year!

I regularly meet people who "used to have a doberman". It seems to be every other person we run into when we're out with Abby "used to own a doberman". No one ever says why they don't have one now, but everyone "used to own a doberman". At some point in the last couple decades were dobermans one of the most popular breeds??
