Q. & A. with Helen
Why did you start breeding?
We have extensive network of friends, partners and simply people involved with Dobermanns from all over Europe and we wanted to bring all the wonderful aspects of European Dobermann here to the US.
What makes your program special?
We have long-term relationships with top European breeders and veterinarians from all over Europe, so we can bring a great degree of diversity into our program. We travel to Europe on a regular basis to attend shows and competitions, so we have an opportunity to meet top European dogs and their breeders in person.
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.
