Hi everyone,
Gilly and I met a fawn doberman yesterday (I've never seen one before). He was beautiful, suuuuuper light colored, almost translucent. However, I feel a little bad saying this, but that beautiful boy was 4 years old and he was still the biggest bag of nerves I've ever seen in a doberman! Gilly as a 6 month old doberteen hyper butt was so much better behaved and less fearful. I think the fawn doberman had good, loving owners, and we talked a little-- they definitely were responsible and had trainers and such.
You know how albino dobermans can have health and temperament issues? Are fawn dobermans related to albinos, or are they also z factor usually? Is that why they are so light, an interplay of normal and albino genes? Are fawn dobermans known for being more high strung?
(Also no shade to any fawn doberman owners! They are so beautiful! I was just surprised in how different this one dog's temperament was when compared to most dobies (red and black) I've ever met- it could totally be a one off!).
(Also also no shade to z factor dogs, although they shouldn't be bred. Gilly is z factor on one side, even though his mom is actually negative for the albino OA gene, and i have 10 generations of his breed and there is no albino). His breeder was up front about it and showed me the embark panel showing he was negative for the OA gene, but I didnt really know what that was or care when i got him. I won't ever be breeding gilly, though!)
