I'm Deidre W., the breeder behind Florindale Dobermans located in Colusa, CA. I love being a breeder. It's so fulfilling to see the positive effect that a beloved, furry companion can have on its family. I provide my puppies with a safe, clean, and enriching environment where they can grow and learn about the world until they are ready to venture out and experience life with their forever families!
Q. & A. with Deidre
Why did you start breeding?
I have been with the breed for more than 30 years. Doberman Pinschers have proven to be wonderful companions in my life. As I learned more about responsible breeding practices, I wanted to do my part to produce healthy, well-bred puppies. It has been an incredible experience! I'm passionate about what I do, and I'm excited to have the opportunity to share this incredible breed with families and individuals alike.
What makes your program special?
My dogs are an integral part of my family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose. I can't wait to help you welcome one of my pups into your home!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
