Welcome to DT, Lana! Ohio has it's share of less than stellar breeders so be very careful with selecting your pup.

Check out the link in my signature line for a good breeder checklist. Are you willing to travel to nearby states if need be?

Hi and welcome to the forum from PA. Best of luck in your research.

Welcome from Ohio. It took me awhile to find a decent breeder nearby. There aren't many (if any) in the area. Do your research!!

Welcome! Great news that you are researching before just going out and buying a puppy. Read as many threads on the forum as you possibly can and you will see that buying a Doberman puppy on the fly is a terrible idea. Ask any questions that come up for you when reading threads. Glad to have you here!

Thanks all for the warm welcome! From what I've read so far, I have decided to adopt a doberman from a shelter. If you have any suggestions that would be amazing.
