Pann's Dobermans

Rachel P.

Breeder of Doberman Pinschers

Meet the breeder

I'm Rachel P., the breeder behind Pann's Dobermans located in Pittsford, MI. We health test first and title foremost. We find a stud that compliments our female and compare health testing before we even consider breeding. We screen our buyers and place our pups depending on temperament versus a new family lifestyle.

Q. & A. with Rachel

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My first experience was when I was 5 with having 2 Dobermans. I started my breeding program in 2014, and am slowly improving our lines year after year.
  • What makes your program special?

    Once a new puppy owner has purchased from us they get lifetime breeder support, at any time. We strive for healthier well temperament Dobermans that will do well in any situation.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are black and rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Great level

Pann'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.
