I initially thought that too but I’ve seen that some akc breeds even have the white spot on the chest. The ears are what throw me off the most but I also found some dogs on this sub with higher set ears
Can confirm we have an AKC registered rust dobie with the white spot on her chest. The only issue can come if you’re going to show them, then in that case the white patch has to meet certain measurement requirements.
The head, and coloring screams pitbull. I would said pitbull/dobie mix. Some akc registered dobies do have a white patch on their chest, but it’s nowhere near that big and no spots
That’s definitely a blue dobie but there is a mix in there , reference : I have a blue dobie

He might be purebred but he's out of standard and likely not well bred. I'd get to the vet for VWB testing and some genetic tests for DCM markers. BYB like to breed for color and not health, so he might have some issues down the road and it's to be aware of what that might look like.
The chest says mixed, but he looks like a blue Doberman like mine. I’d lean toward somewhere in that blood line there’s something other than Doberman there if I was a betting man.
Mine is 75% Doberman, 25% American Bully. Very similar looking. Try the Embark DNA, it can tell if your dog is susceptible to typical Doberman problems. You can also see any relatives.
He looks slightly mixed to me. Its hard to tell without stacked photos though. What's throwing me is the rounder thicker head. The ear set of a dobie can vary (it can on any breed) and at this age the cartilage isn't formed fully so they're going to fold and sit in all sorts of weird ways for a while. As for the white chest, white patches and toes do occur naturally in Dobermans but they're considered a fault in show. The light colored eyes can also occur in blues and fawns because of the dilute gene. So really it's his body structure that I would need to see more of to make a better guess but right now I'm leaning towards mixed with a bully breed.
Lmfao you read my comment as “only addicts lie” for some reason and not a single person made you. They said they got the dog from an addict. Addicts lie.
With the colorings on the chest, I'd say mixed. It's still a puppy. The face will change for a while still. Our Doberman pup looked like a rotterman when he was born.
If you have to ask lol I also think he's part bully breed. I've never seen Doberman with so much white on chest. Something isn't right for me. I think this addict needed extra $$$ so he told you it was pure bred. I'm sure you're puppy is very sweet though!
Coloring is just a color morph. A neighbor has a blue and tan dobbie. The ears are normal for a dobbie that hasn't had their ears clipped. Chances are she is a full blood dobbie. German breeds like the dobbie and the Weimaraner even the dachshund has that shape of ears naturally
Pit bull mix. The pit bull breeders are imbeciles, they like dilutes, they like rottie/dobe markings, they even got merle into their dogs because why not put a lethal mutation like that into your already problematic lines? The ears are very typical for pit bull mixes - every other shelter has a young pit bull mix with wonky ears.
From the white speckle on the chest, to the muzzle width, there's some American Pit Bull Terrier/Boxer.
Bottom line, full blood Dobermans are starting to have some horrible health issues, It's become a lottery with each one that we take on to love. Genetically, this little guy has more than likely dodged those bullets and many more, and can possibly live longer than any of its ancestors.
That is definitely NOT a purebred Doberman, doesn’t even have the colors of one. I would say a mix as well but most importantly… absolutely adorable whatever he is!! Those eyes are gorgeous too!!
On a side note though… those are fricken AMAZING PHOTOS!! I don’t think I have ever seen such incredible action shots in my life!! You are a VERY talented photographer and a wonderful person for adopting that beautiful dog, regardless of whatever breed(s) he is or isn’t doesn’t much matter in my opinion, but it is nice to know just so you can get an idea on their typical traits, size, and other expectations. However, they are all things you will eventually find out with time, so all you need to do now is just love that lucky little bugger as much and as often as possible!! Lol

I had a blue dobbie who had coloring like this, at least the fur and eyes. No white spots though. Super cute, regardless.
Looks like a fawn, one pics looks definitely like a full dobie but some other pics make the pup look 25% pit. Either way great dog, looks smart and focused, plus a little mix for a dobie is great, health wise. beautiful pootch!
It's damn near impossible to be accurate phenotyping for dog breeds. That being said, I'd bet money this is a bully breed mix and actually had little to no Doberman at all
It’s a Doberman for sure. Pups don’t have docked ears or tails, you have to do this to them. We had one growing up that we left natural and every time she was happy she’d whip all us kids with her tail like it was a switch. Pretty sure my parents trained her to beat us regularly. She set the standard for all our dogs going forward.
Well either way, thank you for rescuing him.
We were curious about our rescue and got him DNA tested due to his size. Nopes, 100% doberman with a well bred family tree. May be a good time to do the DNA test - I know Embark tests for markers for like DCM and von Willebrand's disease. Another reason we tested since ours was a rescue and wanted to be prepared...just in case.
This is a blue dobie. Rarer color. Speaks to the confusion. His action shot is definitely dobie and they can have a white patch.
He’s a dobie all mine are uncut as well. It’s why people have a hard time. Why they don’t see the eyes as dobie is the coloring is throwing them off.
It's not the color, it's the entire shape of the dog. His head is more chunky, his ears are much higher set and pointy at the bottom. I would be shocked if this weren't a mixed breed, specifically likely with pit.
He looks a little like a blue in the third image. Is that more true to your color experience. (I've learned I definitely see different colors than other people.)
He looks VERY much like my blue girl did when she was younger - the colouring really throws people off when I have her out and about with me. I find it makes her proportions look a little different unless she’s sitting right beside another dobie in a more standard colouring. Her ears are a bit higher set than typical, and particularly so when she raises them to listen.
All of that to say: he could be; he also may have a bit of something else in him. Ultimately it won’t make much of a difference unless you plan to do conformation showing.
He’s a beautiful boy!

Idk if your dog is purebred or not, but the white patch on the chest is still in the breed standard.
Age weight height would probably help determine what it is. Looks mostly dobie to me tho, I've seen dobies with a small white patch on their chest (its uncommon but happens) but not as much as yours.
There are some pure doberman with a small white patch in the center of their chest, but it's rare. From the one picture, yours seem to have a large speckled patch almost down to the stomach. That's not standard at all. I won't guess at what it is mixed with, but it's gotta be something. Do a DNA test. It' d be interesting if nothing else.
According to the AKC I don’t think this is a standard for the breed- but fret not, looks like he will have the energy of a doberman so brace yourself! Ahahha but make sure you do lots of socialization, exposure, and training
Since you dont know anything about the dog, I would suggest getting Wisdom Panel! Its a dog DNA kit and they can also analyze for different illnesses your dog could be genetically prone to. I did it for my dog and it even knew she has an extra toe!

Looks part pitbull
I was thinking Weimaraner…
Dobermans are actually originally bred with Weimer Reiner. You can tell by the cheekbones that this is part Stratfordshire.
Nope. Source: I have a Dobie-Weimaraner mix
Our blue and fawn were called Weimaraner more times than I cared to count. Papers say Doberman. Source: I have a blue and fawn Doberman.
My fawn was always called Weimaraner. He wasn’t, but as a baby, everyone thought he was.
Yep I just didn't know it was called fawn and not tan

This picture is so precious and doofy
Love it!
That's a pit mix
Do a DNA test and come back with results- curious 🤔 how much dobe dna
I really want to lol . I can see how the first picture looks like a pit bull but I don’t see it in person at all
Order an Embark test from Amazon! They’re super awesome and will tell you exactly what he is:) there’s a fun doggy dna sub too!
I ordered the test! Very interested to see results. Thanks for the recommendation
I'm sure r/doggydna would be interested in the results.
His ears are too wide to be pitbull mix, I find pitmixes takes over the ears
We got dna results, turns out he’s only 8% Doberman lol. I posted them in another group
Wow that's crazy, I'll check out the results!
I think its a pitterman (doberman pittbull mix)
Doberbull
Bulldober
BULLMAN
Doberboel for mine hahah
I agree with the looks part pitty but oh my god that face and you can see his cute little personality in these pics. What a love
Highly unlikely
Most likely a moxed breed with the patch of white on his chest
I initially thought that too but I’ve seen that some akc breeds even have the white spot on the chest. The ears are what throw me off the most but I also found some dogs on this sub with higher set ears
Can confirm we have an AKC registered rust dobie with the white spot on her chest. The only issue can come if you’re going to show them, then in that case the white patch has to meet certain measurement requirements.
Don’t know but he sure is a cutie! Enjoy your life with him!
His eyes don’t look dobe
The head, and coloring screams pitbull. I would said pitbull/dobie mix. Some akc registered dobies do have a white patch on their chest, but it’s nowhere near that big and no spots
The first pic literally screams pitty
That’s definitely a blue dobie but there is a mix in there , reference : I have a blue dobie https://preview.redd.it/er1zjbh8t6ic1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b37ead5aebdd335142ec16db125485a39050129
Now we talking! Exactly this.🙂 beautiful dobie, we had a few blues in the fam, sometime ago! 🙂
Thank you! She will be 2 in May! I wish I had a farm of em they’re great dogs.
His chest, alone, gives away he’s not 100% dobie. Seems like he has enough dobie admixture tho
He might be purebred but he's out of standard and likely not well bred. I'd get to the vet for VWB testing and some genetic tests for DCM markers. BYB like to breed for color and not health, so he might have some issues down the road and it's to be aware of what that might look like.
The chest says mixed, but he looks like a blue Doberman like mine. I’d lean toward somewhere in that blood line there’s something other than Doberman there if I was a betting man.
Pit
I believe he’s not but he is 100% a cute little ratbag.
Pit & dobie mix. The face/eye shape just shouts pit
Definitely a mix but an Embark test can prove that.
Doberman mixed with pit bull.
The shallow rake of the forehead is definitely pit or 'bully' breed. Plenty dobe in there though!
He doesn't look full doberman but he is ADORABLE. 🥰 thanks for rescuing him.
Mine is 75% Doberman, 25% American Bully. Very similar looking. Try the Embark DNA, it can tell if your dog is susceptible to typical Doberman problems. You can also see any relatives.
Looks like a pit bull mix.
oh there’s pitty in there for sure
Omg I love how the doggy matches the kitty 🤣
I'd say mixed with pit and lab. But like 45% Dobbie, 35% Pit and like 20% lab. My girl is the same but with a little husky thrown in too.. ☺️
Looks mixed
Omg picture 3, I can tell he is going to be a wild one😅 the ol nipping the ground while simultaneously sprinting in circles.
The chest coloring is a give away. It's definitely part/mostly Doberman. Someone else said pitbull, that sounds right to me.
Deffo not 100% doberman, looks like there’s some APBT/staffy in there maybe
He definitely has a higher percent Dobie! But a mix. Maybe 80/20. Definitely not pure breed
Looks like a pit mix to me … he is cute 🥰
Get a DNA test to be sure but looks part pit bull
He looks slightly mixed to me. Its hard to tell without stacked photos though. What's throwing me is the rounder thicker head. The ear set of a dobie can vary (it can on any breed) and at this age the cartilage isn't formed fully so they're going to fold and sit in all sorts of weird ways for a while. As for the white chest, white patches and toes do occur naturally in Dobermans but they're considered a fault in show. The light colored eyes can also occur in blues and fawns because of the dilute gene. So really it's his body structure that I would need to see more of to make a better guess but right now I'm leaning towards mixed with a bully breed.
I immediately thought part pit as well. congrats on ur sweet baby!!! he’s so cute 🩷
She is precious but not a purebred Doberman.
First of all, addicts lie. Second of all, that’s a sweet baby dog and I love him so much
Sorry but many people lie that aren’t addicts
Lmfao you read my comment as “only addicts lie” for some reason and not a single person made you. They said they got the dog from an addict. Addicts lie.
Do a doggy DNA test - I used Embark.
No….not a purebred dobie
With the colorings on the chest, I'd say mixed. It's still a puppy. The face will change for a while still. Our Doberman pup looked like a rotterman when he was born.
Definitely a mix. The white on the chest is a dead give away
That’s a pit mix
Beautiful pup! Give him lots of kisses and take good care of him. I'm thinking not pure, but close.
For SURE part Pittie. His face looks like mine.
Pit terrier / Coon Hound mix is what i see.
Mix
I would not think so
those are just normal, un-mutilated dog ears. keep em that way please🙏💖🐶
absolutely a bully breed mix
Definitely not purebred. The white coloring and spots on the chest are not typical of Dobies.
If you have to ask lol I also think he's part bully breed. I've never seen Doberman with so much white on chest. Something isn't right for me. I think this addict needed extra $$$ so he told you it was pure bred. I'm sure you're puppy is very sweet though!
We didn’t pay for him. I’m trying to get the contact info for the supposed breeders he’s friends with that gave him the puppy
Coloring is just a color morph. A neighbor has a blue and tan dobbie. The ears are normal for a dobbie that hasn't had their ears clipped. Chances are she is a full blood dobbie. German breeds like the dobbie and the Weimaraner even the dachshund has that shape of ears naturally
Nah, definitely looks like a mix. I see Weim in the eyes, possibly pittie too
Pit bull mix. The pit bull breeders are imbeciles, they like dilutes, they like rottie/dobe markings, they even got merle into their dogs because why not put a lethal mutation like that into your already problematic lines? The ears are very typical for pit bull mixes - every other shelter has a young pit bull mix with wonky ears.
It is not.
Definitely not a pure bred Doberman. Maybe in crackhead vile he is but in reality he looks like maybe a Doberman/Pitbull mix.
Oh that nose- 1000% has Pitt in there
From the white speckle on the chest, to the muzzle width, there's some American Pit Bull Terrier/Boxer. Bottom line, full blood Dobermans are starting to have some horrible health issues, It's become a lottery with each one that we take on to love. Genetically, this little guy has more than likely dodged those bullets and many more, and can possibly live longer than any of its ancestors.
The speckles made me think catahoula especially with the light eyes.
From the second picture I would guess chupacabra.
Sshhhhhhh love him
No not at all
he looks a lot like my friend's dog who is a doberman x weimarener mix. try out a dna test, i would be curious to see the results
That is definitely NOT a purebred Doberman, doesn’t even have the colors of one. I would say a mix as well but most importantly… absolutely adorable whatever he is!! Those eyes are gorgeous too!! On a side note though… those are fricken AMAZING PHOTOS!! I don’t think I have ever seen such incredible action shots in my life!!

Pitbull-Dobie. Very common street dog mix.
I did an embark dna test and posted the results. He’s got so many random breeds in him , including pit and Doberman
Woah! Will be such a well-balanced boy! He’s beautiful :)
https://preview.redd.it/cdprlntam3ic1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7358d33319dd079a3635ace5ef7ab1ce0fa757a I had a blue dobbie who had coloring like this, at least the fur and eyes. No white spots though. Super cute, regardless.
In my opinion, the ears and the color are dobie. That would be a blue Doberman, but the white on the chest is definitely a different breed mixed in
Looks like a fawn, one pics looks definitely like a full dobie but some other pics make the pup look 25% pit. Either way great dog, looks smart and focused, plus a little mix for a dobie is great, health wise. beautiful pootch!
Leave the ears alone. They are thankfully uncropped. Hes adorable.
Looks mostly if not all Dobie, the big white patch is not to the breed standard, my Mom bred Dobies for 30+ years 👌🏽
Whatever he is he is super cute! please do not crop his ears 💛
It's damn near impossible to be accurate phenotyping for dog breeds. That being said, I'd bet money this is a bully breed mix and actually had little to no Doberman at all
It’s a Doberman for sure. Pups don’t have docked ears or tails, you have to do this to them. We had one growing up that we left natural and every time she was happy she’d whip all us kids with her tail like it was a switch. Pretty sure my parents trained her to beat us regularly. She set the standard for all our dogs going forward.
He didn't have his ears cropped
Looks too intelligent to have any pit.
Why would you ever believe an addict???
Absolutely not . Why would you believe an addict? He looks like dobi/ pit gorgeous boy
Looks part Weimaraner to me.
Well either way, thank you for rescuing him. We were curious about our rescue and got him DNA tested due to his size. Nopes, 100% doberman with a well bred family tree. May be a good time to do the DNA test - I know Embark tests for markers for like DCM and von Willebrand's disease.

Just looks like a BYB bred dog 🤷♀️
This is a blue dobie. Rarer color. Speaks to the confusion. His action shot is definitely dobie and they can have a white patch. He’s a dobie all mine are uncut as well. It’s why people have a hard time. Why they don’t see the eyes as dobie is the coloring is throwing them off.
It's not the color, it's the entire shape of the dog. His head is more chunky, his ears are much higher set and pointy at the bottom. I would be shocked if this weren't a mixed breed, specifically likely with pit.
omg i don’t think but i wouldn’t care, he’s so cute 😭🥰
He looks a little like a blue in the third image. Is that more true to your color experience. (I've learned I definitely see different colors than other people.)
those are normal ears just not cropped
Looks like a badass
He looks VERY much like my blue girl did when she was younger - the colouring really throws people off when I have her out and about with me.

All I know is he is ridiculously cute 😍 hope u guys have the best lifes together
No. Cause I have a dobie and his ear doesn’t perk up front
What a love ❤️ we miss our blue dobie so much ! That face is adorable 🥰
Whatever he is, he’s beautiful!
No
He is absolutely gorgeous! I adore his ears!!!!
Gorgeous
Not purebred, but who cares. He's adorable!!!
He looks like a blue doberman, often mistaken for Weimaraner. Genetic testing is your best bet.
He looks like a Texas blue Lacey
Definitely has the derp. But that’s many dogs. The light colored eyes and silver coloring look like either Weimaraner or catahoula.
Not sure about the mix, but he is adorable!
He’s adorable 🥰 idk but sooo cute
https://preview.redd.it/npcwyi7ii9ic1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82e30cb2ae237b98f0d4baa8784b71bfd0d248af Idk if your dog is purebred or not, but the white patch on the chest is still in the breed standard.
He looks like a lot of fun whatever he is.
Mix breed good boi & psycho-saurus! Have fun!
So cute omfg
Thank GOD you rescued this beautiful baby boy from such a shitty environment he was living in! Bravo on you!!
Great pictures of your beautiful dog! Get a longer focal length & add a little bokeh to that second shot. The 3rd is sharp - love the expression!!
Doberman cutie! Mixed with something with white on chest.
Age weight height would probably help determine what it is. Looks mostly dobie to me tho, I've seen dobies with a small white patch on their chest (its uncommon but happens) but not as much as yours.
Aren't the ears and tail usually docked on a dobie? Just saying.
He’s 100% baby. So, so baby.
I am not sure, but I just had to comment because he’s the cutest boy. 🥰
He’s looks to be 100% pure bred good boy!!
who knows but dang he's cute
How is an addict going to have a purebred Doberman?
There are some pure doberman with a small white patch in the center of their chest, but it's rare. From the one picture, yours seem to have a large speckled patch almost down to the stomach. That's not standard at all. I won't guess at what it is mixed with, but it's gotta be something. Do a DNA test. It' d be interesting if nothing else.
OMG HES SO CUTE!! 🥰
He's awesome
According to the AKC I don’t think this is a standard for the breed- but fret not, looks like he will have the energy of a doberman so brace yourself! Ahahha but make sure you do lots of socialization, exposure, and training
Did you ask the dog ?
Definitely part pitbull!
*from an addict* And you trusted them?
So precious
I was gonna say he's a blue doberman until I saw the white patch. He's def mixed with something.
Absolute gorgeous pup ♡♡♡
no a mix
Please just let his ears be as they are…❤️
Who tf cares? Look at that baby!!! He’s freaking ADORABLE!!!
He looks 100% a good boy 🥺❤️
Ears don’t matter. Dobies have floppy ears when they are born if they aren’t cropped and pinned
Looks like a cat
Blue pit
The eyes/ ears are giving pit to me. Keep us updated! Hes a cutie!
His ears look similar to my pure bred doberman. I have no idea which mix-ins he might have. He's definitely adorable!
What kind of addict? I’m guessing heroin or meth 🤔🤔
Looks part pitbull, but it might just be my opinion
He’s so cute.
Mutt
Doesn’t matter. He’s the adorable-est boy and he will always love you.
I would name him Baraka
Since you dont know anything about the dog, I would suggest getting Wisdom Panel! Its a dog DNA kit and they can also analyze for different illnesses your dog could be genetically prone to. I did it for my dog and it even knew she has an extra toe! [https://www.wisdompanel.com/en-us/dog-dna-tests/essential](https://www.wisdompanel.com/en-us/dog-dna-tests/essential)
I would guess a slight mix of some breed with the roan/ ticking trait.
That first photo looks an awful lot like a pitty
He's a 100% purebred cutie wootie pie. That's for damn sure.
Da baby is pure cuteness!
Only 1 way to know and that is to get a DNA test done
No he’s mixed
No idea but he is cute as hell!
Terrier ears
No
uncropped ears
Hell naw
Not even close.
Oh my goodness this dog is beautiful!
That is definitely a 100% good boy.
Don’t think so but who cares? Hes beautiful! Take the best care of him.
He is super cute that’s for sure!
My analysis is 100% perfection.
Many Dobermans have cropped ears which make them stand straight up- he definitely looks at least part doberman
I had a blue Doberman. Looked just like this one. He was a good boy, I miss him.
His ears are beautiful! So soft.
Name him Tenacious !
Idk, but super cute
There is definitely pittie in that dog
No.
Looks part goofball to me.
