what different colors can dobermans be
Doberman Pinscher Coat and Grooming. Dobermans have two genes for coat color. There is a gene for a black coat and then a diluted coat. Depending on how these genes are combined, four different colors of Dobes are possible. There are black, fawn, blue and red Dobermans. Every variety of Doberman Pinscher is required to have clean-cut, sharp tan/rust accent markings. In the international breed ring, fawn and blue Dobermans are not allowed to be shown and can be disqualified as breeding stock. They also have been proven to have suffer from skin issues. While there are white Dobermans, such dogs arenât allowed in the show ring and are forbidden by the breed standard.
Doberman Coat Colors. The most well-known Doberman coat color is black, with rust markings on the face, legs, belly and chest. The other common color is red, also with rust markings. Less common are the diluted colors: fawn, which is a dilution of red; and blue, which is a dilution of black.
About Blue Doberman Dogs. On a blue Doberman the black coat is diluted to a charcoal gray color. The Doberman Pinscher was developed in Germany in the late 19th century. The breed is named after its primary founder, Herr Louis Dobermann.
