On a recent thread about either ear cropping or color (can't remember which, and I couldn't find the quote, sorry) someone mentioned the TV show Animal Cops Philadelphia, and the "Weimaraner" that was rescued on one episode. The dog was obviously a Dobe, either a very pale fawn or albino, but was said to be a Weim, and someone commented the misidentification. I saw that episode, and also wondered how they could be so wrong about the breed.
Today, though, after reading the thread on the albino puppies, I started thinking. I wonder if it was possible that they KNEW the dog was an albino Dobe, but "mistakenly" called it a Weim so that they wouldn't wind up having to rescue a zillion more of them after people decided they just had to have a "rare white" Dobe? It's possible, isn't it?
