Was so happy to find this website. I have owned 7 dobermans since I was 18. All were super companions. Helped us raise our kids, were protective if needed, and wonderfully goofy. All passed of old age, except last one. We lost our much loved male dobe, Traveler, in Jan to cardio myopathy. He was 8 years old, and lived a pretty cool life. Broke our hearts. Traveler was from a breeder in Elk, WA. Have tried to find them to let them know that Traveler died from CM. Unable to find website or any listings from that area. So, we are now beginning our search for a female, companion/pet quality. We have no interest in breeding, showing, etc. Our home is not right without a goofy dobe. When Traveler was diagnosed, our vet (who has taken care of all 7 of our dogs over the years), told me that cm has become a big problem in the breed. I would like to ask this forum for information on good breeders in the pacific northwest area. I am looking for a great companion, health screening...especially for cm (are there tests for cm?). Thank you all so much. K
