That color actually isn't really a common color in dobermans (I actually didn't know the dog was a doberman either as I am not used to that color of them.) and that color has a lot of health issues, I believe it's a fault but she is cute!

WHITE DOBERMANS
In 1980's the white Doberman made it's appearance and it has been found that the white gene is a separate gene, and is located at a different genetic site (locus) than the color (B) and dilution (D) that is the basis of the four allowed colors for the Doberman. The white gene does not interfere with these four known colors of the Doberman and does not need to be included in the color chart.

The white Doberman is considered an incomplete or partial albino. The dogs have blue eyes and are cream colored with light tan markings. The dogs suffer from photo phobia (photosensitive). This means the dogs cannot tolerate light, often closing their eyes and bumping into objects when put in unfamiliar surroundings. Their temperaments range from being very shy to fear biters. These are not the attributes a responsible breeder or one that is familiar with the criteria of a working dog wish to produce or perpetuate.

WARNING: The white Doberman is NOT considered to be of great value (charging more/more expensive) by Responsible Breeders. Responsible Breeders DO NOT include the white Doberman in their breeding stock/programs.

The WHITE color is a DISQUALIFICATION and these dogs CANNOT COMPETE in the conformation ring.

Wow, I didn't know that about white Dobermans. No matter, I still think Heidi is pretty! And she looks content and comfortable next to someone's desk chair. As long as she's loved and cared for and her people are glad she's a member of their family... Rock on Heidi!

Oh, I think she is pretty too and I really like her. I am just saying white dobermans aren't common and why; wasn't trying to start anything. I am sure she is loved by her family, she looks like one happy dog.

Heidi was very nervous/neurotic when she first arrived at the daycare. She was panting heavily, & would pace around the rooms, looking for a way out. She tried to escape the backyard. She didn't want anything to do with any person or dog. I finally got her to calm down, & she was eventually comfortable enough to relax & lay on the floor. I've heard that white dobermans are created by inbreeding, & that's why they have mental and/or physical problems, but that's just what I've been told. Heidi seems like a cool dog . Personally, I like the chocolate-colored dobermans the best lol
