Above is the AKC standard for Miniature Pinschers. If you didn't health test your dog or the dog you bred to, it is possible that this happened. In the Dobermans, some dogs can possess the Z factor, or the Albino gene - these dogs should never be bred, as if they are bred incorrectly, can produce Albino Dobermans, which are a disqualification and which are very unhealthy dogs. Min Pins are NOT descendents of Dobermans, but this is just an example of poor breeding. If your dog or the male are not AKC registered, then you have no way of knowing if either has this 'cream' colored dog in their lineage. Regardless, if your dog is not AKC registered, of championship lines or titled herself, properly health tested, and of two years of age, you shouldn't be breeding her anyways. I don't mean to sound harsh, but there are too many dogs already who are euthanized everyday because there are NOT homes for them. If you are going to be breeding dogs, please do research and know the proper way to go about it.

It sounds like both dogs were carriers of the albino gene, which is NOT rare and special like folks say it is, it is devastating to the dogs and they often have health problems, neurotic tendencies, and hearing problems.
