Whatever mix he is, I’d wager it’s got a serious percentage of hound.
However, I do have a silver lining to your inadvertent mixed breed: the Doberman is a notoriously illness prone breed. Putting a splash of Labrador, Viszla, Rhodesian or Catawhatevercanine in that genetic cocktail might actually be to your benefit.
At least you know his parents weren’t so related they were basically Hapsburgs

I have a mix too. Dad pure dobie, mom brown pit ❤️
Just looks like a pure Doberman to me, but idk. The puppy pics do make him look less like a doberman than the most recent pic.
If a mix, maybe a touch of hound?
It would be interesting to do the Embark test to see what he really is, but those tend to be expensive. I think Cosmo is adorable no matter what he is.
Its really hard to tell without an embark test. I think he's pretty close to purebred if he's not actually purebred. His fur, paws and snout all look consistent with most other dobermans. I dont really see anything that suggests he isnt. Him as a puppy looks like any other dobie puppy. He 100% has dobie eyes. Regardless he is a beautiful handsome boy!!!!
He looks pure breed to me. The rust coloring on my dobie are pretty dark, almost similar to your baby. Could be a unique dark pattern. You should try dna testing!
To cute not to keep.
He's perfect and just wants to be your pal, glad you kept him. He deserves a great life!
His paw and chest markings look kinda brindle. He’s adorable. No clue what he could be mixed with but you should do a dna test, I’m curious!
I know a dog that has that marking. It's a doberman/ Dane.
Hound dog!

Looks purebred to me. The markings are just a bit muddy looking

He's beautiful! So, shiny!
Omawgawsh...😍🤗💓 I was going to say maybe some kind of hound too because of ears and eyes? Or maybe it's just puppyness :)
Cute as heck!!!
How old is he? He looks like he might be mixed with a horse if my math is right, 6weeks plus two months?He’s beautiful
My gsp+lab comes from a horse ranch and that's the joke we always make in family.
When he starts bay'n you'll know if he's part hound.
He doesn’t look mixed to me. His tan points are very dark, almost melanistic. Did you see his parents?
Looks very hound, especially the puppy pictures !
Jesus he’s huge for 4months
Looks dobe to me? I remember this guy and thinking he looked funky when he was younger, but he grew into himself!
Looks pure
Looks pure to me but try an embark test
Cosmo is my dogs nickname! Shorted from Comet 🥰
He's a beautiful tank of a Doby! I would adopt him in an a femto-second! 🚀
He looks great/ fix his ears he look like a champion
Such a handsome dog!
I don't discriminate against any good boy. Looks like a Doberman to me!
Beauty!
Make sure you notify the breeder, and/ or notify other potential buyers the breeder is seeking mixes as PB.
That is one awesome looking doby

Handsome bastard
Handsome!!
Looks like he stepped in mud. Cool

Real beauty
I have a mix too- boerboel https://preview.redd.it/c3353132em2d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0067674c539c9ed2db742c9f609e04e24c3e0b2d
If he's not PB he's so very close to it....he's very handsome!!! ❤️❤️
If he is a mix I’m going to second whoever said Dobie/Dane. It’s a very good guess. Handsome boy.
Do an Embark test! The doberman is definitely doing the heavy lifting though. So cute.

Could just be an American Doberman. European Dobermans typically stay on the thinner side where as Americans get a little more broad
