So I joined this raw feeding group on facebook and this one lady has a fully black dobe and says its purebred. I have personally never heard of this type of dobe and Id love to learn more about them straight from the experts.
Anybody have any information to provide? Im really curious. I know about albinos and thay they are a genetic mess but is it the same with fully black dobes?

I know about albinos and thay they are a genetic mess but is it the same with fully black dobes? Yes I have seen pics of the black Dobes, however its a fault if they do not have the classic markings. They must have rust marks above the eyebrows, on the muzzle, cheeks, throat, under hte tail, two distinct patches on the chest, and 4 socks.... with I might include the pencil markings on the toes. Here is the coat colour by breed standard... "Coat and Colour Smooth haired, short, hard, thick and close lying. Invisible grey undercoat on neck permissible. Allowed colours: black, red, blue and fawn. In each colour the more strongly pigmented coat is the more desirable. Markings: rust red, sharply defined, and appearing above each eye, and on muzzle, throat, forechest, on all legs and feet and below tail. White on chest not exceeding one-half square inch permissible."

Do they have a genetic issues like albinos or something similar? Did some research apperently they have whats called a "z factor" and that they should never be bred? As your experience as a breeder, is that true? Im just really curious because ive never seen this before.
