The Doberman, or Doberman Pinscher, was a breed of domesticated dog, originating from Germany, on Earth. While searching for a vacant automobile to "borrow", during a visit to Earth of the year 2004, Jonathan Archer had a startling encounter with a barking Doberman that was locked in one of the cars he attempted to access. (ENT: "Carpenter Street") This dog's breed wasn't scripted; in the final draft script of "Carpenter Street", it was referred to simply as "a vicious-looking dog" which barked "loudly".
