Q. & A. with Katie
Why did you start breeding?
Working as a breeders mentee I learned the ropes from a 10+ year responsible breeder.
I learned what health testing needs to be done, OFA qualifications, nutrition and supplementing all year around for dogs, whelping care, post whelping care for dam and puppies, and more. I love the entire process of raising, socializing, and placing my babies into the perfect homes!
What makes your program special?
All dams and sires are OFA certified(hips & elbows), full screenings for health issues, heart and eye evaluations regularly, and have the proper yearly care maintained.
Puppies are fully vaccinated/dewormed up to 8 weeks, microchipped, registration info. available, socialized, potty training/kennel training began, and are bred for excellent temperament, health, and breed preservation.
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.

Hennessey, mom
Doberman Pinscher
About Hennessey
Extremely well tempered female American Doberman Pinscher. She’s an excellent companion and in home pet. Friendly with children, cats, livestock, other dogs, and more!
I’ve owned her personally since she was 10 weeks of age, coming from a strong show line of American Dobermans.
I call her my “sweet old lady” because her demeanor is so calm and welcoming. She’s the best mother and teacher to her puppies and raises well mannered, confident puppies!
