Ghost is 50% European Doberman, and 50% American Doberman. His structure is supremely rectangular, with ample chest space. With the incredible lines in his pedigree and his superior body lines, we’re looking forward to seeing what this amazing boy will do.

“Our vet said he hasn’t seen a Doberman of this quality in nearly 20 years.”

-Shane Dodson, Ghost’s Owner

Genetics

  • DCM1 – Clear
  • DCM2 – Carrier (Homo)
• von Willebrand’s Disease (vWD) – Carrier

• Please note, Brucellosis is not a genetic disorder; instead a disease transmitted by specific types of contact with an affected dog.

Temperament

Some pups arrive full of cautious optimism and vibrant life. Ghost, also known as Gaige, fits this description. Once he’s decided he’s in a safe place with people he can trust, he becomes a four-legged, silly-eyed comedian. He loves attention, long walks around the neighborhood, and the color blue.

The Kennel Birkline is excited to announce his contribution to the Doberman genetic pool, celebrating quality, temperament, and health. Stay tuned to see Ghost grow.
