What do you think of them?

http://www.dobermanvonryanluxus.com/page2.htm

I am doing research as to if I want a show bred dobe next time or a working dobe and show it.

 

[Lexus]

I hate to be the naysayer, but I'm not really into this one. Just for the heck of it, I checked OFA and found one Von Ryan dog tested in 1997 and none since. May there will be someone on here with more knowledge then myself though on this particular breeder. In addition that Clare and Thor in the first picture look exceptionally wide to me.

 

[TracyJo]

I don't get the show bred v. working bred thing. I realize that different breeders breed for different qualities but isn't the whole purpose of confirmation showing to prove that you've got a dog that is suitable for what it was originally bred for, in this case working? It just makes sense to me then that dogs bred from responsible breeders would be suitable for both and therefore the breeder would have no reason to differentiate between show and working lines?

 

[JennSLK]

Yes Tracy,

but 99% of the breeders I have looked at that have "working lines" have not nice looking dogs as far as the show ring goes.

As for show dogs, Im not sure if they are going to be able to do shutzhund.

If anyone can point me to a working breeder who has show quality dobes please let me know.

Lexus you arent a naysayer. I want honest opinions on the breeder. The more indiferent opinions I have the better. You guys may see something I miss, either good or bad.

 

[TracyJo]

You've made my point (that I wasn't so clear with

If a dog is show quality, they (by definition) should be able to perform what the breed was originally intended for. A dog that has his Ch. should be able to excel in obedience and protection sports - if he can't, something is wrong with the "system". Don't you think? I'm not exactly sure what constitutes a good schutzhund specimen, but I'd imagine that any properly and responsibly bred Doberman would do fine.

I checked out the site and wasn't overly impressed. I'm with Lex. that the dogs on the front page look pretty thick. Also, am worried about the hips are guaranteed for life (good thing) internal organs to include the heart are only guaranteed for 5 years. I've read articles that state dilated cardiomyopathy doesn't generally occur until the dog is around 7.5 and sometimes not until 10. By only guaranteeing the dog (especially in a breed where DCM is so prevelant) for 5 years against a something that doesn't affect them until much later makes me wonder whether or not this is something common in their lines.
On the site it says "Ryan's Luxus puppies are totally guaranteed against hip dysplasia for life, all internal organs into the 5th year, including cardio failure." Of course a hip guarantee is good but Dobes do not notoriously suffer from hip dysplasia like other breeds like goldens and gsds. DCM is painfully common in this breed though and my guess is that this "breeder" is well aware of that and that the average person isn't. Guaranteed for 5 years is awesome if the disease hits before then but it doesn't, so it's a futile guarantee.

Hi Jenslk

I spoke to a breeder here in Ontario about Von Ryan's and she told me to stay far away from him, she told me that he can have up to 30+ pups at one time.

She also told me that on numerous occasions she has seen his pups bite the judge when showing?? I stayed far away.

On a side note I dont post much here, but I will be recieving my 2nd Dobie in 3 weeks from a very respectful breeder in Ontario ( Wrath-liberator) Their dobermans are shown all across north america and our very well known.

Check out their site and speak with Pat or Brian they are lovely people.

I will be sure to post pics

Ryan

 

[Okie-dobie]

I have to agree with Dobie lover I to heard the same. I also heard they do no testing on their dogs.

Wrath Liberator produces lovely dogs, they're VERY concerned with health and yes, Pat and Brian are great people. I'd recommend them anytime.

What do you think of them?

http://www.dobermanvonryanluxus.com/page2.htm

I am doing research as to if I want a show bred dobe next time or a working dobe and show it.

I have not heard anything good about them. The guarantee makes it sound like you are buying a car with a 5 year/60000 warrenty... and from the pictures on their front page, cars are apparently important to them.... the more expensive and obnoxious the better.... speaks volumes to me!

And yes, a good show dog should also be able to work. You might have to look a little harder depending on exactly what you are looking for. IMHO, most people don't want a super sharp working type dog as a house pet... and that is what a lot of Euro Dobes are. Yes you can live with them, but you darn well better be able to train them and dedicate the time to them.... that pretty much goes for any Doberman, but more so for some of those Euro dogs. Very few people in the US are into doing bite sports, but people do it successfully with all show pedigrees.

I personally want a Doberman that is capable of what the were developed for .... which is personal protection and not necessarily bite type sports. I also want a dog that can walk into the show ring and win, and go to a nursing home and visit people. I want the total Doberman and feel pretty strongly that I have it.

 

[JennSLK]

Thanx guys. I will check out the breeder you mentioned.

Im new to the show world, so alot i havent heard yet

 

[doberkim]

Thanx guys. I will check out the breeder you mentioned.

Im new to the show world, so alot i havent heard yet

Have you gone to some shows in your area? That is really one of the best ways to find out what is out there showing.

 

[JennSLK]

The shows here are dominated by Dan's breedings and anotherlady whom I would never buy a pup from.

When Im at shows Im there as a helper handler for Dan so Im usually fairly busy.

Dan is Jazz's breeder.

If I wanted a show dog I would go back to dan, however I am debating if I want a working dog or not. Still doing LOTS of research though

There will likely be more 2004 litters not shown until the 2005 studbook, which
doesn't become available until July 2006.

After awhile I became numb to looking at the back to back litters and the
numbers produced by one bitch and I never finished looking up their ages when
bred for the first time, so I stopped making notes to that end.

 

[crxman321]

They dont Health test

 

[JennSLK]

OMG thats alot of puppies.

Shows what a flashy website can do.

 

[JennSLK]

Do you guys know of any really good top quality SHOW breeders in Canada or the US.


I was told to stay away from Marienburg (sp?) lines because she doesnt health test. Is this true?

 

[TracyJo]

Is Luxus who you've bought your Jazz puppy from?

 

[JennSLK]

No. Im buying Jazz from Liberty Dobermans here in Canada.

Im just doing research for my next dobe in 1 - 2 yrs.

 

[dobie lover]

Hi Jennslk

As you can see what Mary has posted , you will want to stay far away from him!!

Why don't you speak with Mary?? she is well known and has beutiful dobermans, and im pretty sure her next litter is in 2007.

here is her website : members.execulink.com/~korevaar
