Genetics Doberman coat color
A word about color
Let me share with you some facts about the four colors Doberman recognized. The Blue is a dilution of black and fawn is a dilution of red. All four colors are recognized and can participate in all events sanctioned by the AKC and entertainment. Some have done very well. They can also participate in other sports such as Schutzhund etc. Some people think that blues diluted Dobermans and fawns to be genetically inferior and the State, they should not be bred, owned etc. They will tell you they will automatically all types of health problems and die early. These statements are ridiculous unfounded by research and fact. Here is an example to illustrate point. My hair is brown, I'm bald, and high risk for diabetes. Arguments against dilute Dobermans are the same as saying my hair brown caused my baldness and diabetes. All three are totally independent. It is the same Dobermans. The genes that cause change in hair color are not same genes that cause other problems. That these statements are good. There are some very poor quality Dobermans blue yonder and some poor fawn Dobermans and blues seem to be the most picked over. Many of them have thyroid problems, problems skin, thyroid problems etc. are the result of poor breeding selection, not blue coats. It is possible to get a good dilution Dobermans color, we have proved a successful breeding program that includes using a very healthy and balanced fawn Doberman amount. If you buy good Dobermans, they are never the wrong color. Buy Dobermans that come from healthy parents and you Dobermans healthy. Buy less inbred color of a Doberman breeder diluted uninformed or unprofessional and you have one of the Dobermans that anti-dilute promoters hold on the world and say: "See they are bad!" This is not the color that makes the bad Doberman, he was the selection of poor husbandry. My fawn Doberman had a thick coat more comprehensively than any Doberman I had, he has produced full coated puppies Doberman, without the problems of people say causes dilution. Look at everything in perspective, there are also many Dobermans poor quality black and red there, but people do not go claiming that their coat color was reason. The exception to this rule is the white Doberman, who is not a dilution gene, the absence of a color gene. White himself is not the problem is how the eyes and skin are affected as the causes of problems. We have since retired our fawn stud when we returned to the European Foundation Doberman lines. Dilute colors are however considered a fault and the prohibition Europe. This is also based on opinion, not on research or performance, but also in Europe dilute the puppies are often quickly euthanized and parents retired from farming. He is considered the embarrassment and have diluted puppies kennel in Germany for example. The CAPD is very easy to read and understand the color chart at: http://www.dpca.org/color.chart.5.html a view of this chart also shows that Livestock science with diluted two together to obtain a dilute puppy has the same genetic makeup as other combinations. Many people argue that two dilutes should never be kept together and that is not based on science, it does not matter what is used to produce the color, the genetic composition is the same. That assumes, however, that we are talking about breeding healthy dogs well behaved. Again, the inbreeding in dilute colors is what causes the problem, it is distinct from the color gene itself.
You can see photo colors eligible (under AKC) here: http://www.familydobes.com/colors.htm
White is not allowed under any standard, but the AKC will register offspring white with a "z" the nomination paperwork. While descending from white or "z" parents will also be taken into account are marked. What does the Z factor is that the registration numbers beginning with "WZ" instead of "was" example. The designation of A to Z does not denote a particular gene. White Dobermans have been known to have many problems, and there is still because of inbreeding is not the color itself. The exception is the photosensitivity. The eyes and skin are very sensitive and can cause a variety of skin and eyes, some of these eye problems are manifested by behaviors such as fear biting. Dogs are not more aggressive than other dogs, they are just always be surprised, because they can not see properly. This would lead me to have a bad attitude as well!
Of CAPD: WHITE Dobermans In 1980, the Doberman White appeared and it was found that the gene is separated white gene, and is on a different site genetic (Locus) that the color (B) and dilution (D) which is the basis of the four colors allowed Doberman. The white gene does not interfere with these four colors known Doberman and need not be included in the chart.
The white Doberman is considered an incomplete or partial albino. Dogs have blue eyes and are cream colored with light brown marks. Dogs photo phobia (photosensitive). This means that dogs can not tolerate light, often close their eyes and bumping against objects when placed in unfamiliar environment. Their temperaments range from being very shy to fear bite. These are not the attributes of a responsible breeder or one who is familiar with the criteria of a working dog who wish to produce or perpetuate it.
WARNING: The white Doberman is not considered of great value (charging more / more expensive) by responsible breeders. Breeders leaders do NOT include whites in their breeding Doberman / programs.
The color white is a disqualification and these dogs can not compete in the ring conformation.
