Q. & A. with Danny
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding out of a serious love and respect for the true working Doberman. After owning my first one and seeing their power, loyalty, and sharp intelligence up close — I knew this was the breed I wanted to dedicate myself to. I spent years studying bloodlines, structure, genetics, and temperament, because I didn’t just want Dobermans — I wanted correct Dobermans.www.stormclouddobermankennel.com/
What makes your program special?
What sets my breeding program apart is the combination of honesty, hard work, and a relentless commitment to producing true Dobermans. Every dog in my program is carefully selected for health, structure, drive, and stable temperament — no shortcuts, no kennel-style raising. All puppies are raised underfoot in a hands-on environment, receiving early socialization, exposure, and real-world handling.
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.
