Pinscher Doberman or simply Doberman?

What does Pinscher mean, anyway?
A Pinscher is a group of dogs that were originally bred to be ratters on farms, guard or fighting dogs.
The are different theories to explain the origins of this word: some experts say that it is coming from a German word, some others say that it comes from the English word “pinch” which means to crop (and the cropped ear is quite common among the dogs of this type.)
Pinscher dogs are the Doberman, German Pinscher, Miniature Pinscher, Affenpinscher, and the Austrian Pinscher.
