Hello,

My name is Alaina and I am looking for a SOUND Doberman puppy that I can train for Schutzhund and obedience. I will be honest, this is a learning experience for me as well. I am new to Schutzhund, but I am trying to learn as much as I can and for what I lack in knowledge, I make up for in enthusiasm. My first dog was a Dobe bitch, and it was "dog love" at first sight. I have never loved a dog like that since. I have 2 other dogs, a male and a female Boston Terrier, both fixed. I would like a female puppy from a reputable breeder. I cannot stress this enough, good breeders that health test is a MUST. I have trained all of my dogs myself and we believe in making our dogs a well-behaved, active family member. There is not any sleeping out in the cold or neglect. We love our fur babies. My son is in the local 4-H chapter for the dog project and we will be joining schutzhund when the dog has matured enough to handle the physical demands. I am very excited about wanting a Dobe again and would like any help with a good breeder in my area (I live by Lancaster), or even a good breeder that will be willing to ship a dog. Also, I do not need a dog right this second. I am willing to wait as long as it takes to be paired with my new fur buddy. Thanks for your time and help in advance.

You should definitely check into Landgraf. She's produced a lot of dogs that have been very successful in schutzhund. I think she had a litter recently but I'm not sure how old they are now or if they are all gone.

Also in CA are von Luka and Incredible Dobermans (which I think have a litter right now, but don't know if they are all spoken for or not).

There is also a nice working litter at Chalmar coming up by a Landgraf dog Eiko, and Gamy v Burgstatte. Should produce some very nice working pups. I can't remember where they are located, though.

And Moeller Hof has a litter planned, but you'll have to contact them to find out more information on it. I think they are in NC.

Good luck with your search! :)

All the Landgraf pups are gone (I have one) but I would check out that Eiko litter, or Incredible if their pups aren't all spoken for.

Oh, forgot about Masaya Dobes. She has a nice working litter planned, as well, but is in Kentucky. Masaya Dobermans ~ Litterbox
Hello! Thanks for all the info. I have been looking into Aldercrest in Riverside and also Kalora and Cara, of course. uBut I will definitely give these other breeders a look. I really appreciate the help!
Line breeding?

Thanks for all the breeders. I have looked at all of their websites. I have heard differing things about line breeding. Some think it is an abomination, some think it is ok. I see Kansa has line-bred dogs. Is that such a great idea with the genetic predisposition some Dobes have? Wouldn't you be exacerbating their genetic faults by line breeding?

sailor, Kansa is a member of this forum (kansadobe), you can PM them and ask for information re: their breeding program and why they decided to line breed.

You could be doubly up on good traits and not so good traits. Kansa has been around long enough that I'm sure there is a reason to the linebreeding and I'm sure if you email them, they'll give you the details. And linebreeding comes in many forms (i.e. half-brother to half-sister very close or it would be a "looser" linebreeding.
Anyone heard of........

Anyone heard anything about Swift Run Dobermans?
