Meet The Doberman Plug

Thank you for choosing The Dobermann Plug We specialize in Service Dogs, Therapy Dogs and Family Companions. Our goal is to match you with your perfect pup and the following paragraphs will help you learn more about how we do that. We take our job as a breeder seriously. We believe being a conscientious breeder isn’t necessarily the one who’s out winning shows, (although that kind of dedication to training is always impressive). Instead, we think a conscientious breeder is one who will not only stand behind their pup but also do right by you as the owner. We do this by learning what your needs and wants are in the perfect family dog. Then we provide as much insight as we can on the pup’s temperament as well as full disclosure on their health so that you can make a sound choice when picking your pup. We continue to be there if you need support during those rough puppy training years and in the event something goes wrong. We choose our parent dogs carefully based on 3 criteria - Health, Temperament, Conformation. Here’s how: Health - Our parent dogs are genetically tested. This minimizes the risk of a health issue with our pups, although it can’t altogether stop them. This is where our health guarantee comes into play. Temperament - Most of the people who come to us for a pup are looking for a low-medium drive temperament so we choose our parents based on that. We avoid parents with high drive so most of our dogs are not working lines. They’re dogs who are suitable to live in a family home so you as an owner aren’t tearing your hair out training or worrying that you can’t have company over, but you can still have the piece of mind that your pup will have a desire to protect your family and your home. Conformation - This is a broad subject because the European Doberman can vary so drastically within the breed. There’s a lot to know about the genetic or temperamental defects that can arise with breeding for certain color types so it’s crucial that a breeder is not only breeding for coat color. When I use the word ‘we’ I’m literally referring to my wife, Mercedez, children (Tiana, Serena, Brittany and Breonna) and myself. We’re family owned and operated - literally. Our pups are raised to be very social - we’re social people in general so older pups accompany us to our regular outings that include daughter’s sporting events, hiking, kayaking, and more. Our younger pups are held by our family and friends who visit regularly. We believe this to be very important to a dog’s beginning in life and although that takes extra time throughout the day we enjoy it and we feel it results in you having a more well-rounded dog. I hope this information helps answer some of your questions while you’re on your search to find the right pup. We’d love to be your breeder of choice and welcome you into the The Dobermann Plug Puppy Family so please reach out to me directly if you have any questions.
