Some reputable breeders that had this male in the pedigree of their good Dobermans advertised as having “Warlock” bloodlines.

He was a very famous Doberman and many breeders bred their females to him. There was a Doberman male in the 1960’s named Ch. Also, many of these so called “Warlock” Dobermans were actually offspring of Dobermans bred to Great Danes or Dobermans bred to Rottweilers-and not purebred Dobermans at all. The bigger the Doberman, the less maneuverability and quickness. These are all traits and qualities that are necessary for a guard dog that needs to be able to maneuver to protect and pursue, if necessary.

The Doberman should NOT be oversized because the larger the Doberman becomes and goes beyond the ideal height of 27 1/2 inches at the shoulder for males, and 25 1/2 inches at the shoulder for females-they lose the agility and speed and the ability to turn and maneuver quickly. Unfortunately for these people, the Doberman is a “MEDIUM” sized breed. People were wanting the extra big Doberman because they apparently wanted them larger, more like Great Danes. Apparently, some years back there was a big demand, and there still is, by the way, for oversized Dobermans. Well, what I’ve been able to find out about this “Urban Legend” is that they are the “huge, giant form of the Doberman”. “WARLOCK” Dobermans!! What IS a “Warlock” anyway?
