Doberman Colors

I had my heart set out on a black and rust. well i started to do research on the breed health,temp ect and found all four colors. So i looked more into it and became aware of all the issues with some But not all dilute.. I brought home Roman my black and rust major goof ball. well then i ran across Deijah my fawn girl was looking into a red and rust but fell in love with how sweet she was. Well till today i have to say best dog ever that iv owned. Great temperament, well behaved and so smart. Happy that i have not come across any skin issue .she has the thickest and shines coat.. Then theres demona My blue and rust girl great pedigree was looking into a black and rust but got her instead. Sweat but a work horse guess thats the euro part of her. Her parents were both black and rust but they threw 1 blue so some one had a diluted gene there.Same with her thick coat and no issues. Beyond bless!! Now im getting my Red and rust boy this july .. Im so excited .. Lets just say i fell hard for this breed and will continue to own dobermans .. I do not show but will be with this red boy im getting. As for whites i think all stop with this red guy.
 
I would love a blue, I've never seen one in real life. They're not incredibly common here, I get the impression they may be more so in the US?
I do prefer blacks, but the idea of having another black immediately after Moose died.... we couldn't do it! [emoji22] Just so happened that the breeder we were looking at had an all red boy litter. So the choice was made for us!
Alot of people as us what type of dog he is, as you see blacks a lot more than reds.
 
yeah! Well my packs complete..I was lucky to hand pick out my puppies. I did a lot of looking around for quality breeders and was lucky i found three great dogs with very good pedigree and temperament. Great with kids and love my daughters cats..These three keep me on my toes so it helps when they can chase each other around or my daughter for a bit.
[DOUBLEPOST=1428615257][/DOUBLEPOST]Blues arnt that common her in California.. After i got Demona i looked around to see how rare they are and there a few breeders but from what i saw. All were selling them as rare and double the amount with no papers. No sure what some people are thinking besides $..

Cheeky!!
I got a fair bit of attitude from breeders when I asked about the liklihood of a Blue from a litter. Most gave me a speech about "fashion dogs" and acted as if Id asked if they bred deformed pups! I was not expecting that reaction at all!
I did find a breeder interstate that 'specialized' in blues and fawns but was warned off by a couple of (nice and sensible) breeders who said they traded off good breeding for colour palette. ...
I suspect if the hoitie toitie breeders did get a blue they'd capitalize on the rarity to make a few bucks too....
 
I see were your coming from.. I ran into puppy mills type breeders and just walked away. Demona is from black and rust sire and dam. they breed for black but do get a few blues and fawns from time to time i found out. but all there sires are red and rust / black rust and dams are same. They sell there puppies the same price no matter the color. Demonas breeder focus on quality dogs and has great lines .. But yeah theres breeders out there from my experience that will not breed a dog with a diluted gene so that fawns and blues dont happen. Plus with what info is out there on blues and fawns makes you want to stray from getting one cause of the issues they have. But im blessed to fine great breeders and have not run across any of the skin issues ect that you hear/read.. My girls have no thinning coats if any thing just as thick as my black and rust and just as shiny if there not covered in dirt or mud.
[DOUBLEPOST=1428616685][/DOUBLEPOST]I wouldn't go to a breeder that breeds for colors only either..

Oh dear, that is so wrong... Like they say with Appaloosas, you can throw spots on a telephone pole but it isn't going to make it a good horse without the proper breeding.
 
There is a lady that trains with us sometimes who has a female named Demona. Not sure how she can up with the name though. Lol
