Large, stubby-tailed dog breed (8)

I believe the answer is:

doberman

(Other definitions for doberman that I've seen before include "Thematic type [DOG]" , "Originally German breed of watchdog" , "Dog used as guard - bond mare (anag)" , "...pinscher, large dog" , "Long-legged terrier" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
