A lot of people try and tell my mom that I am a weimeriner because of my color. So she thought she would include some info on colors of my breed..
"The breed can trace its history back to the Dobermannpinshcerherverein
stud book of 1890. In 1899 only one color was recognized, the black
and rust. In 1901 two other colors were allowed, these additional
colors were; the brown and rust, and blue and rust. With the fawn
(Isabella) being recognized in 1969, this brought the total to four
allowed colors for the Doberman in the USA.
The fawn (Isabella) Doberman is a known recessive gene (dilution) of
the reds; while the blue Doberman is a known recessive gene (dilution)
of the black. This is a simple autosomal (either sex) recessive gene.
Both parents have to "carry" this gene in order to produce the
dilution, or depending on which genotype, all four colors a "rainbow"
litter.
The blue and fawn Doberman ARE NOT rare (meaning they should NOT
demand a higher price than a red or black); as you can readily see the
mode of inheritance for the blue and fawn is a VERY well known simple
genetic fact. Many within the Doberman community do a considerable
amount of research when planning a breeding and breed accordingly,
often times this will eliminate producing blues and fawns."
