I wanted to post her because she is beautiful and very interesting to me, because I love ALL colors of Danes whether they are recognized or not. It's not the dogs' fault that the breeders were stupid!!
I myself am the proud mommy of a "Fawnequin", if you will, and no one anywhere was charged extra for her because of her coloring. When Will found her on Petfinder she was actually listed as a Harlequin. I think her former owners may have actually been embarassed by her odd color!
Here in the Southeast we have a lot of those Dane "breeders" who don't know the first thing about what they are doing, and there seems to be a lot of fawn to Harlequin breedings going on, and a lot of merles being bred too which is unfortunate.
So I can see where you are coming from.
If I were looking for another dog to adopt right now... I would love to have this girl.
She would look so good with my Danes!!!
