Q. & A. with Marlina
Why did you start breeding?
This program provides service dogs and pets. My love for these dogs has inspired me to share their amazing breeds with the world in a responsible way while also giving back to veterans and the disabled community.
What makes your program special?
I am breeding for health and temperament to puppies from our litters to become service dogs for the veterans and non veterans. Dogs have always been a passion of mine and I have wanted to help give back and contribute like this since I was in high school. The service dog program is for multipurpose service dogs and specialty tasks.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and rust, fawn (isabella) 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 a kennel on my property.

God's 4 paw Blessings 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.
Canine Good Citizen (CGC)
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.
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).
