Meet the breeder

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.

Getting a puppy from Doreen

Doreen has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Doreen partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.

"We consider the results of the temperament test when placing each puppy. Applicants who have secured a puppy with their deposit will spend some time with them when they are about 6 weeks old. At this time we will ask you to choose your first and second choice, based on which puppy you have a connection with. This is a big decision, and it should be made with the knowledge of the breeder. Our program policy is that assignments of puppies will be completed at seven weeks of age following the Volhard Puppy Aptitude test. "

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and $3,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.

"The price includes limited AKC registration, AKC Reunite Microchip, tails docked, ear cropping, first vaccines and vet check record. Our program, as with most other breeders, requires a $500.00 non-refundable deposit before visiting. Visitations are limited to applicants who have made the commitment on getting a puppy."

Contract & health guarantee

Doreen may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Doreen offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Doreen directly.

    We are simply thrilled regarding our experience with Doreen. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Dobermans, answered every question honestly - she even referred me to the original breeder of both the dam and sire. It was lovely to meet our pup’s mom and older sister - what gorgeous representatives of the breed! The sire’s breeder sent me video of his grandfather winning Best in Breed at the National Dog Show. I love that Doreen only breeds for the love of Dobies and continuing healthy, happy, long-lived lines. We are so thankful she allowed us to adopt sweet Archie!
