Can I see your health testing?

Please use my dog’s registered name and look them up on
OFA.org, The exception to this will be Kronk’s hips, elbows, and spine because they were all graded via FCI in Italy. OFA certificates can be easily doctored and it’s best to check right at the source, which is the Orthopedic Foundation of Animals website. The only time the grading may not be on OFA is if it was a prelim.

What kind of energy level can I expect from one of your Dobermans?

Dobermans are a high-energy breed. They love to run, jump, and play. They do not love; doing nothing all day, being kept on a bed for hours on end, or being crated 24/7. Dobermans are not content without physical exercise. You can expect your Doberman’s energy level to go down as they reach age two to three, but as they are maturing they need constant outlets for their energy. This does not mean if you take your Doberman on a fifteen-minute walk once per day they will be fulfilled. Staying active with your Doberman is vital to your dog being easy to live with in the house.

How can I make sure my dog is being fulfilled?

You will know if your dog is being mentally and physically fulfilled by your dog’s behavior. If your dog is restless and can’t seem to settle, it would be in your best interest to train your dog, play outside with your dog, or go on a long walk. It is unfair to a dog to keep them cooped up when they so desparately need to do something. I NEVER recommend dog parks. Some great outlets are joining a local dog sport class, food enrichment, or plan-old exercise!

Do I get to pick my puppy?

In certain situations, I will allow you to pick out your puppy if two are very similar. But most of the time, I (the breeder) will pick out your puppy for you. Breeders will notice certain traits + mannerisms and evaluate a puppy much better than a normal puppy owner. Puppy picks are between seven and eight weeks to make sure the correct puppies are chosen for specific owners.

I want a dog and people social Doberman, can you deliver?

It is unusual for a Doberman to be dog and people social. Dobermans are a guardian/working breed, meaning they were bred to be a protector and guard their person or family. With this bred in them, they do not take well to outsiders immediately. I always recommend a gradual introduction when introducing your adult Doberman to new dogs. Your Doberman will not be frightened of new people, but instead, they may be aloof or neutral until the certain person has visited a few times.
