Blue is a dilution of black, and fawn is a dilution of red. All four colors are recognized and can compete in all AKC sanctioned events and shows. Some have done very well. They also can compete in other sports such as Schutzhund etc. Some people believe the dilute Dobermans i.e. blues and fawns to be inferior genetically and state they should not be bred, owned etc. They will tell you they will automatically have all kinds of health problems and die early. Those are ridiculous statements unfounded by research and fact. Here is an example to help illustrate the point. I have brown hair, I am balding, and at high risk for diabetes. Arguments against dilute Dobermans are the same as saying my brown hair caused my baldness and diabetes. The three are completely unrelated. It is the same with Dobermans. The genes that cause the change in hair color are not the same genes that cause other problems. Here is where those statements come from though. There are some very poor quality blue Dobermans out there and some poor fawn colored Dobermans as well though blues seem to be the ones most picked on. Many of them have thyroid problems, skin problems etc. Thyroid problems are the result of poor breeding selection, not blue coats. It is possible to get good dilute colored Dobermans, we have proved it with a successful breeding program that included using a very healthy and balanced fawn Doberman stud. If you buy good Dobermans, they are never the wrong color. Buy Dobermans that come from healthy parents and you will have healthy Dobermans. Buy an inbred inferior dilute colored Doberman from an uninformed or unprofessional breeder and you will have one of the Dobermans that anti-dilute proponents hold up to the world and say "See they are bad!" It is not the color that made the Doberman bad, it was poor breeding selection. My fawn Doberman had a thicker fuller coat than any Doberman I had owned, he produced full coated Doberman puppies, free of the problems people say dilution causes. Look at it all in perspective, there are also really poor quality black and red Dobermans out there, but people don't go around claiming that their coat color was the reason. The exception to this rule is the white Doberman, which is not a dilution gene, it is the absence of a color gene. The white itself is not the problem, it is how the eyes and skin are affected that causes the problems. --- contributed by Family Dobes  |  View My Puppies FCI-Standard N° 143 /14. 02. 1994 / GB DOBERMANN TRANSLATION : Dobermann Council of K.U.S.A. (Kennel Union of Southern Africa). ORIGIN : Germany. DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE ORIGINAL VALID STANDARD : 14.02.1994. UTILIZATION : Companion, protection and working dog. CLASSIFICATION F.C.I. : Group 2 Pinscher and Schnauzer type-Molossian type and Swiss Mountain and Cattle Dogs. Section 1 Pinscher and Schnauzer type. With working trial. BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY : The Dobermann is the only German breed which bears the name of its original breeder, Friedrich Louis Dobermann (02.01.1834  09.06.1894). He was believed to be a tax collector, offal abbatoir manager (knacker) and a part time dog catcher, legally able to catch all stray dogs. He bred with animals from this reservoir that were particularly sharp. The so called butchers dogs which were already considered a relatively pure breed at that time, played a most important role in the origination of the Dobermann breed. These dogs were an early type of Rottweiler, mixed with a type of shepherd which existed in Thüringen as a black dog with rust red markings. Herr Dobermann bred with this mixture of dogs in the Eighteen Seventies. Thus he obtained his breed : not only alert, but highly protective working and housedogs. They were often used as guard and police dogs. Their extensive use in police work led to the nickname Gendarme dog. They were used in hunting to control large vermin. In these circumstances it was a matter of course that the Dobermann was recognized officially as a Police Dog by the beginning of the century. The Dobermann breed requires a medium sized, powerful, muscular dog. Despite his substance he shall be elegant and noble, which will be evident in his body line. He must be exceptionally suitable as a companion, protection and working dog and also as a family dog. GENERAL APPEARANCE : The Dobermann is of medium size, strong and muscularly built. Through the elegant lines of its body, its proud stature, and its expression of determination, it conforms to the ideal picture of dog. IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS : The body of the Dobermann appears to be almost square, particularly in males. The length of the body measured from the point of the shoulder to the point of the buttock shall not be more than 5% longer than the height from the withers to the ground in males, and 10% in females. BEHAVIOUR / TEMPERAMENT : The disposition of the Dobermann is friendly and calm; very devoted to the family it loves children. Medium temperament and medium sharpness (alertness) is desired. A medium threshold of irritation is required with a good contact to the owner. Easy to train, The Dobermann enjoys working, and shall have good working ability, courage and hardness. The particular values of self confidence and intrepidness are requied, and also adaptability and attention to fit the social environment. HEAD CRANIAL REGION : Strong and in proportion to the body. Seen from the top the head is shaped in the form of a blunt wedge. Viewed form the front the crown line shall be almost level and not dropping off to the ears. The muzzle line extends almost straight to the top line of the skull which falls, gently rounded, into the neck line. The superciliary ridge is well developed without protruding. The forehead furrow is still visible. The occiput shall not be conspicuous. Seen from the front and the top the sides of the head must not bulge.

Its outline rises gradually and is softly curved. Its carriage is upright and shows much nobility. BODY : Withers : Shall be pronounced in height and length, especially in males and thereby determine the slope of the topline rising from the croup to the withers. Back : Short and tight, of good width and well muscled. Loin : Of good width and well muscled. The bitch can be slightly longer in loin because she requires space for suckling. Croup : It shall fall slightly, hardly perceptible from sacrum to the root of the tail, and appears well rounded, being neither straight nor noticeably sloping, of good width and well muscled. Chest : Length and depth of chest must be in the right proportion to the body length. The depth with slightly arched ribs should be approximately 50% the height of the dog at the withers. The chest has got a good width with especially well developed forechest. Underline and Belly : From the bottom of the breastbone to the pelvis the underline is noticeably tucked up. TAIL : It is high set and docked short whereby approximately two tail vertebrae remain visible. In countries where docking is legally not permitted the tail may remain natural.

HINDQUARTERS : General : Seen from the back the Dobermann looks, because of his well developed pelvic muscles in hips and croup, wide and rounded off.

They will be full AKC as of July 2008 in the working class. General Appearance The Dogue de Bordeaux is one of the most ancient French breeds. He is a typical brachycephalic molossoid type. He is a very powerful dog, with a very muscular body yet retaining a harmonious general outline. Built rather close to the ground, the distance from the deepest point of the chest to the ground is slightly less than the depth of the chest. A massive head with proper proportions and features is an important characteristic of the breed. His serious expression, stocky and athletic build, and self assurance make him very imposing.

Or maybe your neighbor down the street has a breathtaking Dobe whos got you longing for a big dog of your own. Youve taken to heart the instructions that every dog expert proclaims: buy a purebred dog only from a reputable breeder. Thats great advice  but how can you tell whether a breeder is reputable? And how do you find such a breeder in the first place? Here are some answers to both questions. Read the classifieds with care. Most serious breeders have waiting lists for their pups and dont need to advertise in the newspaper, says SallyMae, who lives in Sherrard, Illinois. But some beginners who dont have the market that long-time breeders do sometimes do advertise & and beginners can have very good dogs and be responsible, caring breeders. But if you decide to visit a show and talk with the breeders there, if you like dogs with excessive slope of some American show dogs and the roaching of some German show dogs. Time your approach carefully. SallyMae recommends that waiting until those breeders are through showing and have begun to pack up to leave. Breeders are usually stressed and busy prior to a show, she explains. Afterwards, theyre more relaxed and have time to talk. Ask the right questions. Once youve identified some prospective breeders who have puppies available, make an appointment to visit them at their homes. But before you lose your heart (and your cash) to a puppy, ask the breeder some questions. SallyMae recommends asking the following four questions: 1) May I see the dam? The dam is the mother of the puppies, and her temperament is a good indicator of what her puppies temperaments will be. 2) Do you health test? A reputable breeder will test her breeding dogs for health problems that are prevalent in that particular breed, and will show you the certificates indicating that the dogs are healthy. 3) What is your guarantee? A good breeder is willing to take a puppy back at any time in the dogs life, though not for a refund. Shell also give you 72 hours to have your own veterinarian give the puppy a check-up, and will give you a replacement puppy if the vet finds a major problem. 4) Will you be available to answer questions and for guidance? A good breeder is more than happy to be an information resource for the puppys entire life. Do visit local breeders, and find out for yourself what is available locally. But even more importantly, you will gain the experience of dealing with breeders, get used to their lingo and excuses, get to know different dogs and their behavior, temperament, disposition, sizes, colors, etc. If you are a good observer and listener, every visit will be a badly needed education, and the honest breeder will appreciate your efforts. Conformation or temperament? Conformation (color, shape, size) is easy to discuss and to form an opinion about. Any child can apprehend it and express a preference. Unfortunately, temperament (character, disposition, composure, moral and mental constitution peculiar to and individual, attitude of mind, hardness, willingness to work, protectiveness, trainability, courage, eagerness to please, calmness, loyalty) are invisible and impossible to judge at a glance. It takes time and depth of understanding to assess and consequently discuss a dog's temperament. Most breeders concentrate on conformation (show) features and are therefore seldom qualified to discuss a dog's temperament (as are veterinarians). Your solution to this problem: Interact with the dogs directly and simply get a gut feeling for their temperament. It's certainly more reliable then anything any human (breeder) can tell you. Dogs do not lie, only people do. Always insist on direct contact with the breeder's dogs and observe their behavior (temperament), then decide if that is what you like to live with. All the papers in the world can't beat a personal encounter. Do listen to all the claims of the breeder and then insist on seeing the proof, especially hip certificates and FCI recognized papers, trial and show participation and titles/ratings earned (don't bother with AKC / CKC or similar registration papers, they're worthless anyway). Honest breeders will have all of those papers ready and be happy at the opportunity to show them to you. Do answer the breeders questions! You may not be aware of it, but you do need the breeder's expertise, now for getting the best possible match, and later for getting all kinds of advise on raising, training, dealing with health and obedience problems, etc. Any breeder not worried about the right match or whether you are sufficiently qualified to take one of his/her babies, is likely in it for the money, which is equal to running a puppy mill. Do your homework and sort out the contradictions. Different breeders can have different opinions on the same subject (and disregard anything one breeder has to say about another breeder, they are likely old enemies). You simply have to spend the time and dig up the truth on any contradictory claims wherever you can find the answer, library, internet, etc. After all, you are about to commit yourself to sharing a major part of your future time, money, emotions, feelings and well being with another living being. If it doesn't work out, it's your loss and emotional pain you will have to endure. An honest breeder has already invested an unbelievable amount of time, energy and money in his/her dogs, the least you must do, is sort out your priorities and know what you want to do with the puppy. --- contributed by Lane's House Of Shepherds  |  View My Puppies About Goldendoodle Puppies From Our Breeders This breed is super intelligent, loving and very friendly.
