Q. & A. with Norman
Why did you start breeding?
Originally, breeding German Shepherds for companionship was our goal. We evolved into Doberman Breeders when we met a pup named Archibald. We have invested our lives in owning these beautiful, intelligent, and confident companions. Our pups experience a lot in their early lives here. Horses, other livestock, tractors, and heavy equipment. A live creek is a playground for pups and others farm dogs.What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is unique because we are experienced breeders, trainers, and lifelong canine care providers. With more than 30 years of hands-on experience, we understand the Doberman's strengths and carefully select bloodlines to improve health, temperament, confidence, intelligence, and correct conformation. Every litter is thoughtfully planned to produce exceptional lifelong companions.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
