Meet the breeder

I'm Estelle C., the breeder behind Kalora Dobermans located in Suffolk County, NY. I'm an in-home hobby breeder, Doberman Pinscher enthusiast, and certified AKC Judge. I have been breeding for 30 years and counting! I specialize in producing puppies of exceptional health, temperament, and conformation. I am happy to tell you more about what life with a Doberman Pinscher is like and how they will not only enhance your daily life, but exceed your expectations!

Q. & A. with Estelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My dogs are excellent representations of the breed, and I am proud to continue their line. I breed to help ensure the future of the Doberman Pinscher and to improve upon my dogs' fantastic traits with each generation. I hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to help build a better and safer world for our dogs!

  • What makes your program special?

    I'm a premier, experienced breeder of top-quality Doberman Pinschers. My involvement in my breed and in the performance venue helps speak to the standards by which I breed my dogs. I carefully plan each litter with a focus on health, temperament, and conformation, and I hand-raise each puppy from the moment of birth until they are ready to leave for their new forever homes. They are versatile and have great show potential, but most importantly, I am confident that each one will become a treasured family member!

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
