DoberHuns? (hun = mix, Simplified Chinese)
Thanks for posting, Mel. This might be an example of media causing another trend to start, like French bulldogs.

Dobermans on a "pedestal" as "King of the guarding breeds"? For squirrels, yes...
"Shiny red coats" Huh?
"Mix of Doberman and Rottweiler" Aren't Dobes derived from Rotties?

Gotta tone down the hyped up video narration....and footage.
If you use the proper lenses and editing, one can make the Chihuahua breed look vicious (which some are)

IMO, looks and acts like mostly Doberman, plus some Chow and GS mixed in. (Pigmented tongue and large erect ears)

Here's an HADR video of a 1 y/o Doberman x GS cross, "Sambra" (shadow - great name!), who was pulled from a pound on TX -Mex border before she was euthanized.
She's an absolute sweety and I had a chance to adopt her at intake, but DW wouldn't go for it. :(
Sambra has huge GS style ears that stand erect when alert and a massive tail! Love her face and leg coloring. Would've made a wonderful therapy dog.

I have no idea at this current time if anyone reputable in the US is hoping to breed these dogs. I believe Junior Chin has sold dogs to the US but unsure if they were to potential breeders. Might be worth asking him. I would like to see this breed evolve in North America as well...
I was going to joke there will be plenty of the Red Dogs in the US when the PLA (Peoples Liberation Army) comes to visit!
But, I don't see any Red Dogs in promo video below, of Chinese Army "Dog Soldiers". Just saw GS, Malis and Belgium Shepherds in short film clip.
Maybe you guys can pick out some more breeds? Interesting at 0:58, video is edited to look like live munitions carried by canine in the Bomb Disposal exercise! :oops:
