I'm Shauna B., the breeder behind S & J Dobermans located in Golden Valley, AZ. Here at S & J Dobermans, we strive to perfect the Dobermann. We believe in health, confirmation, and temperament. We will make sure every puppy is a great match for each and every family.
Q. & A. with Shauna
Why did you start breeding?
We noticed the Doberman breed has been rapidly declining, their life span is around 8 to 10 years, they have a lot of health problems including cancer, DCM, and vwd.
What makes your program special?
We health guarantee all of our pups. They all come with a lengthy contract and application to ensure our pups go to a good home. We also keep in contact with all of our previous buyers to make sure the pup is still in good health and to also see how they've grown over time.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
