Horizon Canines
Meet the breeder
I'm Christina M., the breeder behind Horizon Canines located in Creston, OH. We pride ourselves in breeding healthy family-raised Dobermans. All of our dogs are health tested, socialized, and trained. Our family has a deep love of animals. We live on a small hobby farm. We raise health-tested AKC European Dobermans. The Dobermans come from a working bloodline with certifications. All of our animals live in our home and are our pets. They are so loved and spoiled!
Q. & A. with Christina
Why did you start breeding?
My love of dogs and puppies naturally drew me into breeding. I love the work and spend countless hours playing with and training my pups. My favorite day is “gotcha day”. I live for the moment the puppy is united with their forever family. It’s like Christmas!What makes your program special?
I have designed my breeding program around experiences I had as a new puppy owner. I start the puppies on potty training and introduce kennel time to ease the transition into their new homes. I spend many hours handling the pups. They are well-loved when they leave my care. Our breeding dogs are family and get the best care possible. No expense is spared! I send the pups home with a loving puppy pack to get them started. They get a bag of their food, a blanket that smells like mom and litter mates, some goodies for the new owners, and a 3-ring binder with health information inside. I offer 24/7 support to all my families.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.
