I have had dobermans all my life and there is no difference between the colored and the white. they can have skin issues.

I was happy to see your page. I raise and breed. And have the Cream/white Dobermans.
I have had the white Doberman for over 12 years. My oldest girl was 12 in Feb. She just had her yearly in Feb.ECG and all. And she was pronounced in great shape. She has never had any health issues. She has been very loving all her life. She loves laying out in the sun with the rest of my kids. She is not treated any differently than any of the other colors that I have. I currently have 4 Cream/white Dobermans. I just lost my 11-year-old cream girl in Feb. She had a small mass removed once that was benign. Otherwise, she never had a health issue. My others are just fine and no health problems. They love anyone that comes around. There Temperament and disposition are the same as the other colors. If I compared my Creams to the other colors I would say I have actually had better health in my creams. They have been living longer. Most of my Reds, Blacks, Blues, and Fawns over the years have passed before they hit 10. I only had one red that made it to 12. The majority of them have passed at 8 & 9 years of age. I have had Dobermans since 1979. So I can pretty safely say my Cream/whites are outliving my other colors of Dobermans. I would not be without them. They are awesome. For those that put them down, they just don’t know them. The oldest Cream/white Dobie that I have heard of was from a woman that got a puppy from me a few years ago. She had lost her girl of 17 years she said. She was a cream/white she stated. I have known a few to reach 15 from a Breeder/owner that is now passed. Brigetta had some beautiful Cream/white Doberman. Thank you again for a wonderful article on the cream/white Doberman.

I have a white doberman 10 years old. She is the most loving smartest dog anyone could want. She has been a great guft in our lives. I hate to see people try to put these beautuful dogs down. I would gladly have another one. No health problems ever. We feel so blessed to have been able to have this beautuful dog in our lives.

I was a proud owner of a white doberman. He lived 11 and a half years, and he died of bloat. At age 5 he developed a tumor that was malignant. However, they do make a vaccine for skin cancer in dogs and I treated him every six months until he was 11. My vet recommended discontinuing treatment at that point and he died six months later. My original vet said I should never stop the vaccine and I agree with that because cancer could of contributed to the bloat. Still, the cancer was never a known problem after starting the vaccine. The cancer treatment is supposed to be symptom free but I strongly believe it did take a toll on him. The analogous treatment in humans is known to ilicit auto immune responses that can damage the pancreas or digestive tract. He lost bowel control in his last year and I believe they were linked. I was born into a house with Dobermans and lived with them most of my life. Mine was exceptional in every way and will always have my heart. Dobermans are a special breed and they take a lot of love and care. The happiest one will be found on a farm. If you are going to take on a white doberman be prepared to address and pay for potential skin cancer treatment in the middle and late years. Other than that there is no difference between the colors. They are wonderful dogs.

I have an 8 yr old female white who is very healthy. We live in FL and sunburn has never been an issue. She does squint but so do I. She loves people and most other dogs. Typical doberman behavior. We got her from a rescue as a result of a divorce where the husband threatened to harm her and the wife wanted her to “disappear” so she would be safe. She sees and hears everything just fine and has never bitten. Our granddaughter has also crawled all over her. We got her after my husbands blue doberman died at 9 from cancer. She had lost most of the fur on her body from a skin condition. The rescue thought that we would be a good fit for the white in case any skin issues came up. She has a beautiful coat with no special treatment required.

In reply to Luke Wright. Saying no health problems at age 3 is the equivalent of saying a 21 year old is healthy.. Your dog is still young and I hope it continues to be healthy. Love your dog but please don’t encourage others to breed or buy dogs that don’t meet the breed standards.
