Even rarer is the white doberman pinscher, actually an albino. At one point a doberman pinscher breeder came across a white doberman pinscher puppy and e inbred the dog to make more white Dobermans. The white Dobermans were in high demand until people realized that the albino dogs suffered from a number of unique diseases and couldn’t be exposed to natural light for long. Because of the lack of melanin in their skin, albino doberman pinschers are more susceptible to skin cancers and other serious diseases.
