Meet the breeder
I'm Natalia P., the breeder behind European Dobermans located in Payson, AZ. We are dedicated to raising the bar for thoughtful breeding with optimal health in mind. We do our best to produce puppies that have the best chance at living long, happy, and healthy lives as your best friend!
Q. & A. with Natalia
Why did you start breeding?
We did quite a bit of research on deciding what dog to get and in doing that became aware of the many issues surrounding the breeding of Dobermans. Breeders who focused on show dogs seem to have picked a few champions and repetitively inbred those dogs and hence brought out and propagated the genetic defects we now find common in these dogs. Having developed an interest in the breed and having a medical background my objective was to in some small way contribute to remedying that issue. So our goal in breeding is to produce high-quality animals while trying to minimize the passing on of genetic diseases. We intend to do our best to see that the pups go to good homes with owners who have the time and desire to give them the attention they need.What makes your program special?
We are raising our puppies in the home using high-quality vet bedding from the first day of their life to provide hygiene, warmth, comfort, and security, and to make sure that our puppies have excellent traction to help their joints grow properly. We follow the Puppy Culture program providing early socialization by exposing puppies to various environments other than their home - taking the puppies outside to walk on different surfaces and to play in the yard along with car rides. These positive experiences are critical in helping puppies become confident and content companions. For the best possible start in life, we are now implementing the Early Neurological Stimulation Program (ENS) known as the "Super Dog Program". This program was developed to improve the performance of dogs used for military purposes and has five key benefits: improved cardiovascular performance (heart rate); stronger heartbeats; stronger adrenal glands; more tolerance to stress; and greater resistance to disease. In addition to ENS, we also started the Early Scent Introduction Program (ESI), developed by Dr. Gayle Watkins. ESI improves scenting abilities in adult dogs, enabling them to succeed at more complex scent work at younger ages.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.

Parent health testing
European 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.
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), Dilated Cardiomyopathy 2 (DCM2), Dilated Cardiomyopathy 1 (DCM1)
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).
