| Breeder Selection: |
Something to consider, as a potential Doberman owner, is select a breeder from which to purchase your new four-legged family member. This choice shall influence your entire relationship with your Doberman. Take into consideration; the puppy from backyard breeders, commercial breeders, or pet stores can be a source variable endless problems. If serious about your pet and its temperament, especially this demanding breed, it is necessary to purchase from a reliable and reputable source.
When you have decided that a Doberman is the only breed that will do, the first place to go is a dog show. Yes, a dog show… Remember, it is important to buy from a breeder that is concerned with breeding to match the Doberman Pinscher Standard. Not all litters shall produce perfect show puppies which command higher prices. Many are exceptionally beautiful however, not “show quality” and generally in the same price range as the local pet store variety.
The best thing to do is note which dogs you liked best and contact their owners later. Try not to rush off and see a litter of the first person you talk to. Once you see the puppies, it is hard to make a rational decision. Talk to several different breeders first and get answers to all your questions. Typically, a quality breeder is more than happy to answer all questions. However, be prepared to answer more questions than you ask. The quality breeder will generally want to know about your situation, previous experience, and reasons for getting a dog. They will want to know that her puppy is going to a good home and will be treated as a member of the family.
Ask the breeder how she socializes her puppies. A good breeder should expose her puppies to a variety of different experiences from the day they are born. Be sure that the breeder you are considering does this. A poor socialization period can result in a temperament problem with the pup. Ask the breeder about the parents' temperaments. It is best to note the dam's temperament yourself when you visit to make sure she is what you want. Inquire about how many litters are bred each year. Stay away from the breeder that produces litter after litter. Most reputable breeders produce only one or (at most) two litters a year. |
