Since Quincey died I took it upon myself to search for available Doberman puppies. What I found was very disappointing.

During my search I have found that in the last 6 years Doberman breeders have really raised the price of puppies. Callihan and Quincey cost approximately $350 each. Now puppies are a minimum of $500 with NO health certifications! One breeder I spoke to bred his female black/rust with a male fawn. I asked him about the condition of the sires coat. He informed me that the male had problems with his coat which is typical with fawns. Why, then would you breed a litter with that male? No answer other than "I wanted a puppy". The problem is that the majority of breeders I contacted don't have a clue nor really care to know about the inherent health issues that plague Doberman Pinschers. Which does nothing for the overall health of the breed. Their only response is, "my litter doesn't have those issues"...

I have also found that many breeders like to talk about other breeders...and it generally isn't flattering...

I guess what was the most disappointing part of my search was the realization that the majority of these people are breeding to make money and that is very sad. They are in it for business!!!

Mitchell on the other is perfect for us! WE ARE NOW RESCUE PEOPLE AND QUINCEY MUST BE LOVING IT!
