Welcome to NY Dobermans


NY DOBERMANS have been carefully chosen from the finest European lines to have the best heath and temperament you can have in a doberman. Many American breeders are now starting to incorporate European lines with their American lines because they have seen the night and day difference among the two. So by incorporating the European lines they hope to make there breeding better while all they are doing is charging you more money for a dog because it has a hint of European lines in it. By mixing both European lines and American lines you never know what you are going to get because the consistency is not there in the breeding. I have owned both lines myself and as they say "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" but after seeing first hand the difference of the European doberman I would never go back.

Our Dobermans come from the best European lines. This not only makes the perfect family pet but also a protector as well. Unfortunately the way that many American Dobermans are being breed now they do not have the confidence to actually be the protective dog they were meant to be. All of my dogs are family raised and live in our home,so even though they have a great working drive which enables them to excel in obedience,agility or personal protection work, they have an excellent "off switch" that makes them the perfect family pet to hang out in the house with you as well. They are all comfortable in any social situation you can put them in whether it be with children, large crowds or with other animals. None of our dogs are ever trained with treats or shock collars- they work for your personal praise which also helps you build a bigger bond with your dog. Its not " fake obedience". The personal protection work we do with them is just simply a command they are in no way actually an aggressive dog. Our protection dogs are not just trained to know when to bite,but when not to bite as well. They are also not your typical sport dog. They are trained to bit and reengage on the bad guy, not to just bit and hold in one spot on a sleeve because most bad guys do not break into your house wearing a bite sleeve. They will bit you anywhere- so don't think you can take a bite from them with a scratch suite on. In the same sense there are some of our dogs who are working in therapy work with elderly people- that also shows the extent on how they can be trained. Our dogs are the ideal protection dog — they are calm and friendly until a threat is revealed.

Beside it being so important for our dobermans to have the perfect temperament we also wanted to make sure when we picked our dogs to be part of our breeding program that they were going to be as healthy as a Doberman can come.Remember these are our family pets too- we want to make sure they are healthy for our family as well as your family. Unfortunately Dobermans can be prone to many different type of health issues: cardiac problems, hypothyroidism, VWD, wobbler syndrome and hip and joint dysplasia are just a few of the most common problems. In general the European Doberman is not as likely to have these health problems. Which is why that is the only doberman I will ever breed or stud to. All of our doberman we currently breed are not affected with VwD, have normal thyroids and have normal echo cardio reports. I feel it is so important when you are looking into finding another member of your family you do your best to find someone who is breeding responsibly.
Unfortunately American Dobermans are prone to more health problems than the European Dobermans are because in America you can breed whatever dog you want and there are no rules to go about it. For some reason American breeders are not held to the same standards of breeding and the Doberman breed is the one who suffers for it. This is another reason why I have decided to breed only European lined dobermans and continue all the health testing I can do to ensure to best possible doberman I can produce.

I searched for years to find the perfect doberman to breed. To me the European Doberman has a better body structure and coloring,which is always very deep as apposed to the American lines which to me look almost "washed out". All of our dogs live in the home with us and are family pets before anything else. It is important when you make an investment on a dog, and a member of your family, that you find a breeder that stands behind what they breed and is not going to disappear on you. Also one who breeds responsibly and takes care of their dogs. You should be able to go to any breeders facility and interact with the dogs with no issues and not look at them behind cages. In my personal opinion I do not care how many shows a dog has won or titles they have. That really doesn't mean anything. It is just an ego booster for their owners. People will argue this all day long but if a dog works for me and strangers and their children can come take toys from their mouth and my own daughter can take a bone from them that is what means more to me than anything- NO TITLE anywhere can compare to that!! When I started this breeding program I wanted a dog that would be great to go out and work with me if I choose to do so but also be the perfect family pet- because at the end of the day that is all that matters. So far we have succeed in making many happy families have doberman that is able to do it all! The families that purchase dobermans from us keep in touch with us on a regular basis and send us pictures which you can see on the past litters page of the website. We always invite you to come meet all of our family and see the training yourself.
