Puppies
I breed one to three exceptional litters each year
with particular attention to temperament, beauty,
health and reasonable inbreeding coefficients.
Price?
All breeders charge anywhere
from $3500 to $4500 for puppies
and poorly bred puppies sell for
the same price as well bred
puppies due to the scarcity of the
breed. Price is therefore NOT an
indicator of quality, health or
temperament. Buyers should fully
investigate breeders with regards to 1) contractual health
guarantees, 2) extended pedigree health information and
3) buyers should, if at all possible, make a visit to the
breeder’s home to evaluate the temperament of the
parents and see the conditions in which the puppies are
raised. Early experiences and conditions have a significant
effect on puppy development. Buyers should also do their
research on the inbreeding coefficients of any litter under
consideration.
Ear cropping
Our show prospects ears are cropped as this is my
preference in the show ring, however the surgery
is primarily cosmetic. For those people who want
cropped ears, there is an additional $500 to crop.
Aftercare is the responsibility of the new owner
which entails stitch removal, weeks to months of
taping and posting ears once they are healed.
Owners will need either a local vet experienced in
ear crops or an experienced GP, Doberman, Boxer,
Schnauzer or Dane breeder/owner who can
support you. The puppy’s training and
socialization must proceed as it would with any
other puppy without cropped ears, so ear cropping
requires even more dedication on the part of new
owners.
Tails
Tails and dewclaws are typically removed within
the first 48 hours. When we are producing a litter
we intend to dock, buyers who want a natural tail
need to get their reservations in and pay in full for
the puppy prior to their birth. A puppy of your
preferred color and gender will be chosen and left
natural if possible, but cannot be guaranteed.
When we are producing a litter where we expect to
export, the entire litter may be left natural and
tails will be docked if requested at 8-9 weeks of
age.
