I'm Tamara Y., the breeder behind Providence Kennels located in Lake City, FL. We responsibly breed, raise, & socialize healthy pups so others can enjoy the gift of living life with a Doberman Pinscher or a smooth fox terrier. Our puppies are raised with love in our home, and we strive to help each one grow up healthy and confident. All of our dogs are strong, intelligent, and sweet as can be!
Q. & A. with Tamara
What makes your program special?
I match pups based upon temperament, rather than having the client pick their pup. A deposit on a pup means you are guaranteed a pup from that litter, but not sure until 7 weeks which one will be yours.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Doberman Pinscher puppies include black and rust, blue and rust, fawn (isabella) and rust, and red and rust. Smooth Fox Terrier puppies include white tan and black, white black and tan, white and tan, white and black, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
