White Doberman Pinchers, or albino Doberman Pinchers, are Doberman Pinchers with albinism. Albinism is a genetic condition in which the Doberman lacks pigmentation (melanin) in their body. This pigmentation is what gives color to their fur, skin, and eyes, so without it, the Doberman is lighter in color. Some people prize these dogs because they are “rare.” However, albinism comes with health issues such as skin lesions and skin cancer, and frequently causes a bad temperament and aggression. Breeding white/albino Doberman Pinchers is unethical. The Doberman Pinscher Club of America is strongly against the deliberate breeding of this genetic defect.
