That completely blows my mind!

We bought Thor as a pet, for $1800. From titled, health tested parents, ears already cropped, our breeder did all the posting for us, and answered questions we had. We chose (with our breeder/mentors assistance) to show him, and finished him. We are now being mentored by his breeder and another breeder, and have become good friends with the local Doberman people due to their introductions.

All for less than these backyard bred, untitled, non-health tested, awful conformation parents, uncropped, and no breeder support. From people that breed solid, and sometimes unrecognizable colors. Blows my mind!!

Are they still breeding the weird solid rust colored dogs?

I do not think so. The dam, Amber, is said to be retired on their webpage (don't know if she's spayed, however) and only had the single litter - the one with the weird puppies.

The "sire" of that litter with Vizsla-colored pups has had multiple litters. Three are listed on his page (none being the litter with Amber) and all those puppies look normal.

I believe Amber was place in a new home. The old couple who owned her retired also.
