Hi,
I have been on a quest for a Doberman for almost a year now. The problem is that all reputable breeders that I talk to loose interest in selling to me the moment I tell them I'm outside the US. Only breeders that seem that want quick buck and don't care about their breeding processes are happy to export a puppy. I was wondering if there are reputable breeders that are willing to export outside the continental North America and if someone could recommend one to me.
Thanks.
Where do you live? Do you realize that most of the South American Dobermans originally came from North American bloodlines, although this was many generations back in many cases.
We have sold dogs to South America, but I think you would be better off getting a South American dog for several reasons unless you have a specific reason for getting one from North America.
I live in Colombia. The reason I haven't considered South American breeders is because of lack of transparency and recommendations. I've heard of many cases where people have been scammed out of their money or been given a puppy which turns out to be a completely different breed when they grow up. Thus the mistrust...
The irony is, while today european lines are becoming increasingly popular in Brazil and Argentina, a lot of North American dobermans influenced the South American lines, and to this day the South American lines still influence North American dobermans. While it is true that the US and Canada would be the main places we think of, don't forget there is also Mexico.
My understanding is there are some very nice breeders in Mexico, Peru, Argentina and Brazil.
For Mexico, a friend has a bitch from Monflos and is very happy with her conformation and temperament (she trained in Mondio before and currently does IGP) this friend is pretty rigorous about health testing and pedigree health/longevity she is picky about her research. Currently lives in Germany. Might be worth reaching out to Monflos. https://www.facebook.com/monfloskennel/
in Argentina, the names you'll see most often in US and Can bred dobermans will be De Black Shadow, De Lex Luthor, Nello's, Akido San https://www.facebook.com/nelloskennel.dobermanns/ https://www.akidosan.com/
(couldn't find any other webapages easily but I didn't dig much so I'm sure you could)
