Daily Dobermans

Kathy D.

Breeder of Doberman Pinschers

Meet the breeder

I'm Kathy D., the breeder behind Daily Dobermans located in Sonoita, AZ. Daily Dobermans is located on 36 acres in the rural town of Sonoita in Southeast Arizona. We have had Dobermans throughout our lives and started breeding 10 years ago. Our goal is to produce healthy, happy Dobermans that adhere to the AKC Standard. In our breeding choices, we look to increase diversity, longevity, and health. Hence, our dobermans are a blend of European, South American and American bloodlines. They are bred with good bone, strong prey drive and excellent temperaments.

Q. & A. with Kathy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Because I loved our male so much and his temperament was exceptional. I health tested and found he was very good. He passed our WAE as well. He was not the most beautiful dog but I felt there were too many positives to not use him. We had a wonderful first litter, all are happy in their homes. The second litter was even better. Now I am hoping for my 3rd in early 2021.

  • What makes your program special?

    Diversity, plain and simple. I am big proponent of Better Bred and the VGL Davis program. My breeding choices reflect this. Other long time breeders don't give any credence to Diversity. Dobermans have developed many health issues and I feel that we have to do something. Time will tell if breeding for diversity will make a difference but it won't hurt to try. In addition complete health testing.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Parent health testing

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Daily Dobermans 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), Working Aptitude (WAE)

    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), Dilated Cardiomyopathy 1 (DCM1), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)

    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).
