Don Blue Weimaraners have coat and skin problems?
A – No. Alopecia has been seen in some Weimaraners, but this disease is believed to have something to do with the recessive dilute gene which all Weimaraners, Gray and Blue have. Unfortunately, alopecia is sometimes called “Blue Dog Disease” or “Blue Doberman Disease.” Both are misnomers. The more accurate name for this disease is Color Dilution Alopecia. It is rare in Weimaraners. Weimaraners as a whole sometimes have allergy or skin problems but this is unrelated to coat color.
