Kettle Cove Dobermans

Sharon D.

Breeder of Doberman Pinschers

Meet the breeder

I'm Sharon D., the breeder behind Kettle Cove Dobermans located in Guyton, GA. I have been showing and raising Dobermans for over 25 years, it is my passion and my love to try to improve with every litter. The goal we set and which I believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog.

Q. & A. with Sharon

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was a junior handler at the time and was helping a friend who showed and raised German Shepherds and Rottweilers. When I was in my own home I wanted my own dog so obtained my first show Doberman over 25 years ago, then a second one a year after that. My first litter was 4 years after obtaining my first Doberman.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am very dedicated to this breed and strive to help it progress in health, conformation, and temperament. Having the 10 years of veterinary tech and 25 years of nursing experience I bring a lot of education about breeding and rearing puppies to the table. Very often people contact me with questions about breeding and puppy husbandry, I am very glad to help educate them.

  • 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 and guardian homes.

Parent health testing

    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.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), Kidney Disease (UPCR)

    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.

  • Dilated Cardiomyopathy 2 (DCM2), Dilated Cardiomyopathy 1 (DCM1), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
