An introduction to the breed...

To truly understand the breed standard, one must know the history behind this breed's existence. Welcome to the exciting new world of Donovan's Pinscher! Never before in the history of the United States has there been an attempt to produce a true utilitarian K9- a K9 not only competitive with it's inspirational European predecessors, but uniquely superior to them in several ways.

After many years of breeding classic working dogs (German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, Dutch Shepherds) and enjoying many successes with various breeds, I have been haunted with a vision... a vision of a working dog superior to all who have come before him...a dog of unique and varied talents: the tenacity of the fighting dog, the power of the Molosser, the trainability of the Herder... speed, power, durability and talent; a dog that could run, jump, climb and swim; a dog that could wrestle and twist like the great fighting dogs (that I have had the privilege to encounter)... a dog with a quick mind and reflex, who would retrieve naturally on land or in water; a dog who had great responses to it's handler, quick to learn and extremely eager! a dog of power - in mind and body, ferocious when challenged and formidable to behold. A dog which could perform equally well in organized dog sports, or life and death confrontation. A dog that could stop your heart with it's grace and passion! Or stop an intruder with explosive action. A turbo charged, fearless protector, with clownish sociability, who could out-do most any dog at any task, trick or trade. The American Built Super Dog... Engineered to meet the increasing demands of a changing world.
