A little background first and if i get the details wrong i will fix them as my wife knows the story a lot better than I do.
Our first doberman, Sampson was purchased(hate that word) 9 years ago. he is beautiful red very healthy. he has had one tplo surgery, other than that and some lipomas he is a happy healthy boy. We got him from Amaris breeders when they were in California, I believe at that time Brandi was the owner. My wife did her research (as she has always loved dobies) and we found Sampson (Amaris' Chocolate Mousse). Brandi was very forthcoming, very responsive both pre-post purchase and we had no problems both with her and with sam's lineage (for as much as we knew then).
4 years ago we decided sam needed a sibling. Once again we went to Amaris but this was after the name and stock had been sold to the new breeder von.Amaris. Zeus (Amaris' Mount Olympus) appeared to have all the right lineage and his papers were fine. We had out vet check both him and his lineage out. Things seemed fine. Zeus was never sick. Sure he had a few stiches from rough housing with Sam but nothing was intentional. Sadly Zeus died from DCM about a month ago. Until then my wife and I were clueless about DCM. We've had time to learn about it and wish we never had.
While researching DCM I found dobermantalk.com and I also checked in on Amaris, in case we wanted to get another baby (we do). apparently vonAmaris is not what they seem to be and from everything I can gather on this site are not very well respected as breeders or their stock.
My question (I know get to it) is while looking at their site it appears that the name and/or stock may be back in the original owners hands again. if this is so I would not hesitate to get a baby from them. Can anyone shed some light on the situation with that breeder? Should I just run the other way? And if so please help me to find a good breeder who will bless my house with another wonderful dobie.
Thanks, Drew
