Meet the breeder

I'm Karen S., the breeder behind KB's Dobermans located in Greenville, OH. KB's Dobermans excel in performance venues, conformation, and most importantly in their forever homes as beloved family members. I focus on the importance of both American and European pedigrees. My pups are true representations of the breed with no oversized or non-standard colors being produced.

Q. & A. with Karen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always loved the Doberman breed and wanted to share that love with others. Once you become a Doberman owner, you will be a lifetime owner of the breed! They make life so much better.

  • What makes your program special?

    I guarantee all of my puppies for life because I believe they are true representations of the breed. My passion is providing excellent, healthy family pets. I research the pedigree and health for every match to ensure they will be the best representations of the breed for both health & temperament.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and rust, blue 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.

Great level

KB's Dobermans 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.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    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.

    Working with Karen was an outstanding experience. We were fortunate to have her as our guide when choosing a puppy. From the outset, Karen kept us updated with regular communication, sending weekly photos and resources about the litter’s development. When we finally met our new puppy, Virgil, we instantly knew we had made the right choice. Having previously had dogs from less reputable breeders, we were impressed by Virgil's adaptability and secure attachment. He comfortably sat on my wife's lap for the four-hour drive home and settled into his crate without hesitation. From his first night, he adjusted seamlessly to his new environment and was nearly fully potty-trained within a week. While I’m not sure what specific techniques Karen used before transitioning Virgil to us, her methods clearly proved highly effective. Now 15 months old, Virgil accompanies us everywhere, and we're frequently stopped by people admiring his beauty, whether we're at a coffee shop, the park, or just walking down the street. I wholeheartedly recommend Karen to anyone looking for their new best friend.

    Breeder was very kind and answered all of my questions. It was very important for me to find an ethical breeder, which she is. The puppies and parents are health tested, which is very VERY important especially for this breed. You can search up her dogs registration numbers online to view their full health history and they all have good health history, as well as their litters and siblings and so on. This is a breeder that cares about the breed, and it shows. I got the PERFECT boy. She helped me choose a pup based off of my needs, and he is EXACTLY what I asked for. A cuddly, sweet boy who will do well when put to work. His ear crop is beautiful, and he is everything I wished for in my dream dog. He is also a VERY good looking, healthy dog. I will absolutely be buying from her again if I add another dobie to the family.

    I had been in communication with Karen for a year or two before we got Bogey from her. She has always been incredible to work with - quick communication, knowledgeable, and helpful. We also have a female through a different breeder that was sired by Karen's Gordo. Both are the best dogs! Bogey is full euro and just over a year old. He's our fun-loving, fearless, snuggly boy. I don't have a single critical thing to say about my experience with Karen and KB's Dobermans. I highly recommend considering a dog from her program!

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
