Q. & A. with Kristin
Why did you start breeding?
We were mentored under a local breeder who bred and handled show Dobermans for 40 years. She shared a plethora of knowledge and groomed us into making the right decisions when it came to the dog fancy and breeding.
What makes your program special?
We pride ourselves on raising well socialized and sound of mind puppies. We actively participate in conformation, obedience, and other dog sports to ensure our dams are proven to excel in many sports as well as represent the DPCA breed standard to a T. We provide a lifetime of support and mentorship to our puppy owners.
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.
