Brenda S.

Breeder of Doberman Pinschers

Meet the breeder

I'm Brenda S., the breeder behind Brenda Snider located in Bay City, MI. Our dogs are bred for agility, conformation, health and breed standards. We want to provide our new families with healthy puppies that have been tested and certified to provide you with an assurance that you will own a puppy that will grow up and live along with healthy life.

Q. & A. with Brenda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My first Doberman was purchased from a breeder. I was young and naive and this breeder turned out to be irresponsible and back yard breeding. This riddled my puppy from the start with bad health issues. She had wobblers at 2 years old and it paralyzed her back legs by the time she turned 4 years old. I was devastated and heartbroken. From then on I vowed to breed bad genetics out of the breed.

  • What makes your program special?

    We will have both the sire and dam fully tested with every test available. I only breed certified healthy dams and sires with all negative tests for genetics for Vanwildebrand, Dilated Cardiomyopathy, Wobblers Disease, hips, eyes, and to omit the white factor color gene.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Brenda Snider reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Doberman Pinschers.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
