Frequently asked questions -
Q: "Why do we need to do an interview?"
A: We have had time to learn this breeds personality - and by meeting with you and discussing your personality, home, family environment, etc. - we can get an idea whether this is indeed the right dog for you. Some puppies may have difficulty in a busy family setting, while others may be too active for an elderly family. We try to place the right dog with the right owner.
Q: "Why do I have to fill out an application and contract? Can't I just pick the puppy I want and take him/her home?"
A: We make a commitment to all our puppies to place them in a safe and loving environment. The application and contract is our agreement with them, and you - that you will provide such an environment for them.
Q: "If this doesn't work out - what can I do?"
A: Owning a Doberman is a big responsibility. This is why we interview prospective owners beforehand. It's also why you must sign a contract with us. We make a commitment to all of our puppies - the contract states that when circumstances make it impossible for a pet to remain with your family, it is required we be notified and allowed to find a new home for him/her.
Q: "Do you perform health testing?"
A: Yes, I perform the required OFA health testing for my Dobermans. Some of the health testing is only required one time and the other testing is performed annually or semi-annually.
