Meet the breeder

I'm Laura C., the breeder behind Double-Take Doberman Kennels located in Aurora, IN. Our Breeding Philosophy Our goals as breeders have remained consistent and focused from the beginning. We are committed to a clear vision and have a well-thought-out plan to guide our program. While plans may evolve over time—as they naturally do—our core values never waver. Adherence to the breed standard is an absolute priority for us. The standard defines what a purebred dog should look and act like, and it serves as our blueprint for producing dogs that are true to type in both form and function. We strive to stay active and engaged with all of our dogs. While we value success in the conformation ring and the importance of being judged against the breed standard, we also deeply believe in the significance of performance events. These help us to evaluate our dog’s drive, temperament, and trainability—traits that are just as essential in a well-rounded Doberman. But breeding goes beyond titles and shows. We are committed to the health and longevity of our lines. We follow all breed-recommended health testing protocols through OFA and parent club DPCA guidelines—and often go beyond those recommendations. In addition, we conduct thorough genetic and color testing to ensure we are making informed breeding decisions that benefit our dogs and their future families. Our approach may be a little different from others, but we are proud of the dogs we produce. We stand behind every puppy we place—because we believe the proof is in the puppies. 🐾 We’re always happy to talk Dobermans! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.

Q. & A. with Laura

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Training my first Doberman was as easy as 3 reps. They are beautiful/intelligent creatures that continue to fascinate me every day. My passion for them has only grown throughout the years. My fear is of the puppy mills/backyard breedings that take place which are causing major health problems for an already fragile genetic line. The focus must always be to better the health/longevity of this breed through research, and testing.

  • What makes your program special?

    We Prove our lines! Each of our breeding dogs are titled in multiple working areas. Fully DNA/OFA Health tested, lowered COI, and we are constantly researching pedigrees for the best longevity. We are Knowledgeable/Experienced in the Doberman breed. Owner/Handlers for over 20 years. There are benefits for you in working with us as well (full European, clear lines, easy application process and screenings, lifetime family mentorship) We do things a little differently than most breeders! We focus on pairing you with the perfect puppy for your specific goals. Choosing a puppy should be based on more than a puppys adorable fearures. -As the pups grow we build a profile of their personality traits, social interactions, and individual characteristics. - At 6 weeks we perform Puppy Aptitude Testing (PATs), which helps us identify their personality, and temperament through their specific reactions. - We want to get to know you. We do this through our application process and phone screenings. This helps us understand your schedule, your lifestyle, your household, and what you want most in your puppy. - We work through the process of matching. Typically families have a few puppy options to choose from and ultimately you have the final say.. however we make informed suggestions on the right pup for you.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and rust and red and rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Laura was wonderful to work with! Very keen to understand what you were looking for in your new family member; conducting the Volhard aptitude test and constantly observing the pups to ensure that you get the right match personality wise. My boy Phryxis is perfect! I mean, I've had him 3.5 days... and may quite possibly be blinded by puppy love, but he fit right in. Calm, confident, and yet looking to his humans for direction as we do a fairly long road trip to get him back home. He has had a couple of "accidents" along the way, but at only 8.5 weeks old, his ability to wait to go toilet is QUITE impressive! You can tell Laura works with these babies a lot. I am so excited to see him bloom and continue to grow into another Doberman shaped portion of my heart!

    Laura was nothing short of amazing to work with! She was very communicative and comforting every step of the way. I could not be happier with the process or my new little baby. Laura is a breeder who truly cares about her dogs, puppies, and the breed. She truly makes this experience the most exciting and least stressful as possible! She also has an amazing transport team if needed! I’m so happy to be a part of the DoubleTake Doberman family.

    I have a 6 year old dobie name Jazz. Jazz has been raised with another dog her entire life. After the other dog left when my roommate moved out, I noticed Jazz became very lethargic and depressed. I logged in simply to explore options for getting another dobie puppy. Very quickly I noticed Laura’s post about Salma. The story resonated with me since my first Doberman was also a rescue. Salma needed a home and after speaking to Laura and learning more I knew this was meant to be. I have had Salma now for 2 weeks and she and Jazz have quickly become inseparable. The spark is back in Jazz and Salma has followed Jazz’s lead and is learning a lot. She’s affectionate and gentle. My 5 yo nephew and 11 yo niece absolutely love her. I am so very glad I was able to find Laura on Good Dog and make Salam a part of my life.

    My initial experience searching for a Doberman was extremely disappointing. I was unfortunately scammed, which left me discouraged and hesitant to try again. Everything changed when I connected with Laura from Double Take Doberman. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand my previous experience and approached me with patience, transparency, and genuine care. She walked me through each step of the process, making sure I felt comfortable and informed along the way. It quickly became clear that Laura is not only knowledgeable but truly passionate about what she does. She takes exceptional care of her puppies, and it shows. I recently brought my puppy home, and I am honestly amazed. At just 8 weeks old, he is incredibly well-behaved. The early stages of potty training have been outstanding—he has had no major accidents and even signals when he needs to go out. I am beyond grateful that I found Laura. This experience has been nothing short of exceptional, and I will absolutely be referring her to my friends and family. If you are looking for a breeder who is trustworthy, professional, and truly dedicated to her pups, I highly recommend Double Take Doberman.

    Laura was kind and responsive to all our questions regarding the process of purchasing our doberman puppy. She had all details arranged for his transport. And stayed completely available until the puppy arrived at our door. Thankful for Laura.- Christina

    I had an excellent experience with DoubleTake Dobermans. Laura was extremely knowledgeable about the breed and took the time to answer every question I had thoroughly. What stood out to me was her transparency she never avoided questions or gave vague answers, and I never felt rushed or pressured. That made the decision process comfortable and gave me a lot of confidence. It’s clear that a great deal of thought and effort goes into her breeding program. The selection of the parents and the planning behind each pairing shows in the temperament and overall quality of the puppies. After bringing my puppy, Gajo, home, it became even more obvious how much work she puts in early on. His temperament has been outstanding from day one confident, stable, and very people-oriented. At his first vet visit, the staff commented on how calm and well-adjusted he was, and I’ve already received multiple compliments on his temperament. It’s also clear that early socialization and environmental exposure were priorities. Laura genuinely cares about her dogs and works to place them in homes where they will succeed, which is especially important with a breed like the Doberman. Gajo is healthy, well-structured, and one of the most beautiful Dobermans I’ve seen. I highly recommend DoubleTake Dobermans to anyone looking for a well-bred Doberman from a breeder who truly cares.
