(Our Dobermans are NEVER to be tied to ropes or chains, or left in outdoor kennels without frequent human interaction. These Dobermans are meant to be companions and working companions, not just sentries or “Junkyard dogs” we do NOT sell Attack Dobermans or Guard dogs, we sell Highly Trained Personal Protection Dobermans)

We encourage personal protection training or Shutzhund sports because it builds confidence in the young Doberman and the handler as well as the family. We have specific instances where a Doberman saved our lives from robberies, theft, or harm. However, we do NOT advocate “attack dogs” , if you are after a protection only dog, they are out there, but we don’t want a part of that. We want you to have a working companion your side, bonded to you and the family, not a Doberman just trained to bark and bite. We also encourage Pet Therapy and Search and Rescue. It puts a positive light on the Doberman breed, and changes lives for the better. Remember your Doberman wants a job, they want to please you. Help them learn what you want them to do and watch them amaze you!
