Meet
Ernie and I found our first doberman on Christmas 1988. Cleopatrice Harraden joined us from Way Kennels in Kinston, NC and in 1991, we began breeding these wonderful animals. Our first male was a beautiful blue doberman named Berlin's Blue Silver. Cleo and Berlin produced many beautiful pups, one of them being our matriarch, Leah. Sadly, Leah passed away in early April 2008, nearly reaching the age of 13 years old.
Almost twenty years later, Ernie and I still breed our beloved dobermans, and still have pups from our original girl, Cleo, but now, we have pups from several generations. We have brought in several pups from other breeders, tested them for health standards, and paired them up with playmates to share their days. At the present time, we own 15 beautiful dobermans of various ages. Our newest baby, Indy, was born December 22, 2009, here at our kennel.
We have a continuing waiting list for our pups and usually have several litters a year with our pairs. Females are usually bred once a year and then have a free heat to recuperate. Our dogs are tested for von Willebrands and the majority of them are clear. We also OFA certify our breeding dogs as they reach 2 years old.
All our dobies are also dual registered with AKC and CKC, as are all pups produced here since July 2005 with our personal dogs. Three of our dobermans are also WKC registered. Because we are so familiar with our doberman lineage, we are able to offer an extended health guarantee on all our pups for any genetic problems.
The $850 charge for our pups include full AKC/CKC registration, tails docked, dewclaws removed, several puppy wormings and shots up to date when the pup is picked up. It also includes a puppy starter kit, milk supplement powder, a new toy, and a puppy collar of your color choice. Shipping is an additional $450 when the pup is 8 weeks old. We do not include ear cropping in that price. Shipping charge includes cost of the new carrier, required vet health certificate for shipping, airline charge and their $25 fuel surcharge, time involved to make arrangements that are agreeable to both parties, and our 4 hour round trip to the Raleigh-Durham airport. We can recommend our vet for ear crops, but pups are long gone from the Dobieden when they're ready for their ears to be done.
If you'd like to add your name to our waiting list for a pup, please email me at dobieden@gmail.com and I'll be glad to add your name and keep you posted on our upcoming litters. Also, you can keep posted on our planned litters from our index page.
