Emerald Eire Dobermanns
Meet the breeder
I'm Julie W., the breeder behind Emerald Eire Dobermanns located in Decatur, IL. We strive to produce active show or sport prospects for loving and caring homes. As you consider one of our dogs, I would ask: why are you interested in a Doberman and can you properly care for this active breed and satisfy all of their needs?
Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted to continue a working line, but bring in more conformation/structure without compromising health or increasing genetic health risk. I wanted to keep workability and grace and yet keep the edge and protective nature my breed is known for.What makes your program special?
I feel that I bring a lot to the table as a Board Licensed Veterinary Technician, Professional Behavioral Consultant, and Fear Free Certified Professional. I can implement all aspects of animal care and science as well as behaviorally assess and raise the pups to ensure the best fit and recommendations for home life. This breed is not for everyone and I have many requirements in my contract.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and rust, blue 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.
