It is widely accepted that the blue Doberman is the rarest color of this popular breed. Blue Dobermans are created when two black Dobermans carry the dilute gene. This recessive gene can be passed down from generation to generation, which is why blue Dobermans are not often seen in litters. In fact, many breeders will not knowingly produce blue puppies because of the challenges associated with this coat color.
The most noticeable difference between a blue Doberman and other colors is, of course, the coat. A blue Doberman's coat will have a grayish tint that is most apparent when they are standing in direct sunlight. Some people say that blue Dobies also have a softer temperament than their darker colored counterparts. While there is no scientific evidence to support this claim, it is something that many owners of blue Dobies attest to.
If you are interested in owning a blue Doberman, be prepared to pay a premium price. Because they are so rare, these dogs can command upwards of $2,000 from reputable breeders. However, if you do your research and find a good breeder who health tests their dogs, you will be able to find a beautifulblue Doberman pup without breaking the bank!
