I'm Doreen W., the breeder behind Hunterlynd Doberman's located in Hampton, CT. Our dogs pass breed specific clearances and come from a long pedigree of longevity.
Q. & A. with Doreen
Why did you start breeding?
We consider breeding a hobby and enjoy having puppies and seeing the joy they bring to their new owners. The love of the Dobermans started with family friends who owned three Dobermans from Brazil. In 1980 we purchased a Doberman puppy at a horse show, only to find out it was from a well-known line in Massachusetts. We decided to breed her and continue that line. Because I grew up with Shetland Sheepdogs, we added one to our family, again working to breed with two show quality lines. All our dogs have passed breed clearances as we strive to continue to provide and grow a quality line.
What makes your program special?
We responsibly breed with focus on health and temperament. Before returning to our Doberman breeding program, we carefully searched for a breeder offering high standards of health clearances and longevity. We purchased our Dam from Dagobah Dobermans and use their line to continue the breed. We work towards continuing to breed the Dagobah line with the health and integrity of the Doberman breed standards along with excellent temperament qualities.
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.
