Hey everyone! Thanks to everyone who shares pictures/stories/information on this website....I have been using it to further educate myself on the joys of having a Dobie! I thought I should probably stop reading from the shadows and post a picture or two of our new little man - Leon.

We found this guy through a close friend's breeder. We've been talking about getting another Dobie for a while and thought it wouldn't hurt to stop by and look at the new puppies. Of course we fell in love with all of them. We had no idea a solid black even existed and after we saw him we had a tough time deciding which to add to the family.

Yes, he is SOLID BLACK. This had me a little hesitant to even post a picture of him in fear of reader's negativity (after doing some reading about other posts on solid blacks)...but hopefully that won't happen . Both his parents are AKC registered and were on-site. He has the frame and personality of all other Dobies. He was in a litter with another solid black female, a couple other black/rusts and one blue and one red. This is our second

Here he is after we first brought him home...and another two weeks after getting his ears done.

Enjoy!

Bare with me on figuring out how to post the correct size photos.

7 weeks

14 weeks

Very cute pictures--and welcome to DT.

If you've been reading other information about "all black" Dobermans you probably have learned already that they are a fault in that the puppy does not show the markings as required by the standard. Too much melanisim (the pigment that controls the color). He may lighten up some with age--you can see that the black on his muzzle is different than the black on his forehead. A good many puppies who have a lot of black on their muzzles and feet do lighten in time.

Doesn't make much difference--he's yours, he's cute--the coloring isn't correct but it's explainable.

Enjoy your new guy.

he is adorable, no wonder you chose him. who cares if his colour is classed as a fault, he's still a dobe. hope to see more pictures of him as he grows up

 

[madmony]

Leon is adorable. If those pictures are 2 weeks apart, Leon is going to be a big boy. As before, keep posting pictures of him. I can't wait to see his ears.

 

[Neo the Doberman]

Lovely boy you got there. Btw welcome!

 

[Darkevs]

Hello and Welcome to Doberman Talk!

[TxDobieLady]

:welldone:

Of course not all of us here on this forum agree with the stuck up "Doberman Masters of the Universe" when picking apart someones Dobbie! Don't be afraid to post anything, you'd be suprised at how versiatle the "other members" can be!

I think he's beautiful and he looks like a "Ninja Doberman" sneeky sneeky! What a beautiful silky coat. He has a very sweet face! Enjoy your baby!!!

Kira Hime sends him kisses!

Welcome to the forum.

Can I ask who the breeder is?

 

[ZeldaRules]

Welcome to DT and grats on your new pup! Thanks for posting pictures, he is very neat. I do hope the breeders aren't purposely trying to breed for solid blacks though and that both of them were sold with spay/neuter contracts. You sound like you really care about your pup so I hope your breeder did the proper genetic health testing on the sire and dam. Do you plan on doing any sport with him or is he going to be just a spoiled pet?

...I think he's beautiful and he looks like a "Ninja Doberman" sneeky sneeky!...

Yes, I can definitely anticipate that you're going to have much difficulty in the future convincing the casual observer (non-Doberman aficionado) that your cute boy is indeed a Doberman!

Maybe you could explain to the layman that he is one of the rare "Ninja Dobermans" (as already suggested) or how about "Stealth Doberman" or "Phantom Doberman"? What the heck, why not just pull out all the stops and call him a "Super Ninja Phantom Warlock King Doberman" ?! :shocking:

You're also going to have trouble detecting when a "Dobe Poke" is coming your way!!

 

[cheechbalzano]

Congrats!!! That is one nice looking boy. Very handsome. Can't wait to see more pics once his ears are done being Posted. Love the "Phantom Doberman".

 

[Beaumont67]

All black dobe...first time I've seen the solid color - learn something every day.
- he is a very cute and most alert boy...thku for posting pics.

 

[Isys]

Congrats with your new puppy. If you are not planning to show your puppy ... then who cares. I am sure he will be a great addition to your family.

"Super Ninja Phantom Warlock King Doberman"

Spocksdad is a Funny man....
:kiss:

 

[punkischic]

welcome to DT, and cute pup.

i'm curious about what breeder too? hope you won't mind sharing.

 

[Cindylouwho]

What a gorgeous little guy!

 

[PatchworkRobot]

Welcome to DT! Your pup is cute and it'll be interesting to see if his coat changes a little as he grows.

I really hope this thread doesn't turn into a "lets bash the passionate members of DT" sort of thread. That being said, for us who support the ethical breeders I want to suggest not saying this...

Cute, and possibly a joke, but we really don't need another fault popularized (warlocks, albinos) so that the BYBers can jump onto it.

Please continue to post pics as he grows. I've never seen an all black dobie and he is super cute.
