Dobermans have been used in TV, movies and print for decades and are often type cast as aggressive guard dogs. But recently Dobermans have been taking the fashion world by storm and are being admired for their lithe good looks. Two of my very fashionable friends here in Pittsburgh are Dobie moms, and I have to say that both of their guys are total sweet hearts! Check out some fashion ads and editorials I have found that show off the breed.

No dobermans in fashion post would be complete without mentioning Givenchy. Dobermans were featured, in addition to Rottweilers, in ads and on graphic photo prints on shirts, bags and scarves.

Love Dobermans. A friend of ours has 2 and they are awesome. I’ve also met many a Doberman before and can say that I’ve never really met a mean one.
Yes – they are usually totally sweet dogs! I actually thing the bigger the dog, the bigger of a baby they are!
Dobermans are badasses. I love editorials that use dogs 😀
