Yep that looks about right to me.
I was just complementing someone's new puppy today (search "Unnamed...") on the pencil marks and thumbprints. But I have not seen what I see in this pic here. Looks like his paws were dipped in tar. I'm not sure what's going on there. I mean, besides unusually high melanism in the toe area. Is there a chance the pup is not totally pure bred?
A couple of my boy Oji's littermates have a high amount of black markings on the outer side of the rear pasterns. So it definitely varies in individual dogs.
As a rule, I like generous black markings on the feet, but if it is too unusual, it detracts from the appearance.

Did you know all Zebra stripe are different?...I think Dobe markings although similar are all different, Like Zebra
They are quite prominent but it’s very normal. The markings may well fade with age. It’s all to do with their genes.
Another member (@Beerswimmer) on here has a Doberman with prominent dark marking on his feet, too. Did the Sire or Dam have prominent (or faded) black markings on their feet?
Have a look at this thread...

She’s euro working lines not sure how often it’s seen the NA lines or if it even varies between the two 
Nice. As far as markings on the rear pasterns, at least a couple of Oji's littermates have it.

Lots of Euro lines have BLk markings on their feet.
Actually per DPCA their should be no Blk markings on feet.
But I really don’t care. I love Euro’s

Really? No black markings of the feet per DPCA? Not even pencil marks and thumbprints? Come on!!!!! As much as I revere and appreciate breed standard, I like black marks on the feet and legs, and the (as I call it) "black wash" over the muzzle and chest markings.

Yes so do I like the Blk marks on the feet. Thumb prints which they should be on the muzzle yes is ok!
Curious: Are you saying that what are referred to as "thumb prints" are not the marks that are sometimes found on the top of the front paws?

Yes the rust thumb prints on each side of head should be separated by the main color of the dog, from the rust that is on the muzzle.
