What Colour Is This Dobie?

[Chelsi7911]

Just wondering what this colour is called? I really like it!!

It looks more like a Liver colour to me, rather than a Red. Is this the Melanistic black people are talking about? I am baffled.

And is it a common, or desirable colour?

Thanks people!! xx

That's a brown & tan dobermann...("red" is a description only used for this colour in the states)

Wow love the head on that dog.. as Iceman said she is Brown, and is actually a very typical brown shade for European Dobermann.

 

[JanS]

Yes, it's a brown and tan and very desirable. I agree, nice looking dog!

 

[Chelsi7911]

Brilliant!! Thank you!! x

what do you think of this females head (she is 8.5 months old in that photo)

 

[iceman]

Same dog (Correction about her age tho..she was 6.5 months old in these photos, not 8.5)

 

[Judith]

wow Iceman she looks more like a male, beautiful girl.

yes like everyone says it is more brown than red, the amount of people that have complimented Buddy on his colour Lots of people saying they did not know you could get Doberman's this colour, I have seen some that are more of a red colour.

It's a brown and rust aka "red"! I love the color I'm thinking that my next dobie is going to be either a red or a black!

Yup, that would be a brown/rust. Beautiful dog.

My female is a very dark NA red. She almost looks black in certain lighting.Not as common here on our side of the pond, but I love it!

We also get asked the same question on what color our boy is. Their sire and dam came from a Russian Kennel. We love the brown from Europe.
Awesome female!

It's almost like a chocolate brown. It's definitely my second choice to the Black & Rust

Daisy is this chocolate brown.Rocky had to poke himself into the shot,makes for a nice comparison.

You are both very lucky! I really really really want to get mine now! But I can't...

 

[Dobie Wan Knobie]

Lucky? Most people say we are crazy! But hay! You do what ya gotta/wanna do or life will pass you by

Wow crazy she is not even seven months old.. Very beautiful brown girl with a strong head.. She will certainly grow into that crop nicely.. I personally don't think the picture is doing her any favors though.. I'd be willing to bet that young lady is a true show stopper in the real world..

On a related note I wonder why it is that the browns typically have these awesome heads where in contrast it seems like I don't see that as often in the blacks.

If her ears stood you would see Demi has a similar head only slightly less pronounced. It is what I like and prefer.

Does she give you an idea who's progeny she might be? if you answer that question, you will understand why you come across more awesome brown heads

My guess would be Fedor
