What is a warlock Doberman?
A descendant of Borong the WarlockThe Warlock DobermanThe "Warlock" Dobermans are also known as "Kings" or "Goliaths" and are not really a true Doberman breed.Their existence stems from a surge in demand for "big bad Dobes" back in the 1970's. It is widely believed that Dobes were bred with Great Danes and some other large breeds to satisfy the demand.Today the term Warlock is applied to the poorly bred and oversized dog which does not conform to the breed's standards. The original "Warlock" was a dog named "Borong the Warlock." Borong was breed in Florida in the mid 1950's by Theodosia and Henry FramptonSo where did "Warlock, and the other over-sized Dobermans come from?The so-called Doberman variety can be accounted for by one of two scenarios: a Doberman cross-bred with a larger dog (thus accounting for the Warlock's abnormal size) or two large Dobermans bred to beget pups which are out of standard for their abnormal size. In either case, the litter is not worth purebred prices or consideration when showing.The name "Warlock" comes from an actual dog.Borong the Warlock was born in the mid-50's. Borong was not abnormally large; in fact, he won a number of shows including Westminster ('52 and '53) under the handling of Henry Frampton, his owner. Borong could not have done that if he were as large as 110 pounds, the weight of some of these warlock monstrosities. Dobermans should weigh about 70-73 pounds to be within standard size.Borong's name, however, became irretrievably linked with super-sized Dobes when Texan breeders who bred his descendants began breeding for size.For twenty years, various traits, such as a lock of hair, large size (or small size accompanied by great strength), or even a certain facial expression, were supposed to indicate a Warlock. There was no standard for what a "Warlock" really was. It originally meant a descendant of Borong, but it came to mean a large Doberman.By the 1970's, Dobermans became extremely popular in the US, and as with any fad, people wanted more varieties. Like clothing fashions, consumers wanted different types of Dobermans. Popular myth fed this craving, and "Warlock Dobermans" became a fad. There is no widely known kennel club in the world that currently recognizes "Warlock Dobermans" as a variety, such as giant poodles are to standard poodles.Because of that decade's Doberman over breeding, many "Warlock" Dobermans have been whelped to date which have no blood relationship to Borong the Warlock. Unscrupulous breeders have tainted Borong's reputation by cross breeding great Danes with Dobermans and passing off the pups as "Warlocks." The REAL Warlock, Borong, was a purebred.These breeders also disservice the Doberman breed as a whole by carelessly deviating from the standard for Doberman size and exploiting people's lust for "bigger, better" dogs. Instead of buying monstrously sized Dobermans, these folks should simply buy a different dog. Charging purebred prices for these mixed-breeds is also dishonest. There's nothing wrong with owning a mixed-breed dog; however, buyers should not be fooled into pay too much for a mixed-breed (or out-of-standard) dog.
