Herr Karl Louis Doberman was a man with many jobs, He was a tax collector, who sometimes worked as a police officer, night guard, and dog catcher. Because of his career, Dobermann often traveled with bags of money through dangerous parts of town at late hours; it left him feeling uneasy. With his access to the large pound, breeding a canine bodyguard to keep him safe as well as his money seemed like a natural decision.
