Yamaha’s x Hawkeye’s breeding was a success. Now we’re into the most stressful period, of waiting 30-35 days to confirm via Ultrasound 🤞

- After 422 miles, we’re both taking the day to refresh

07/07/2024

Exiting news …. Secret is in heat. She’ll be bred tomorrow or Tuesday

- I’ll be reaching out to my waitlist to confirm

06/16/2024

2024 Plans:

- Yamaha (Secret) will be bred to Hawkeye (photos below) in June/July

- Amani is due to come into heat in August/September. I haven’t decided on a Stud yet, but I’ll update this post when I do (debating on importing frozen semen or a Stud here in the US). Pending annual health testing

Both waitlist are open, w/ limited availability. I’ll be seeking a Guardian Home for both

Official litter Announcements will be posted, once breedings take place

W/ 4th of July approaching, here’s some tips to your pet(s) safe:

It was super nice out, so we went & explored the OH River (video coming soon)

Darshani is still seeking a new adventure

I’ve had a decent amount of interest in Darshani, but there’s been a big issue w/ how people project worth

- Naturally, people think there’s something “wrong” w/ an older dog being placed. In her case, it was a mix of taking a more laid back approach to advertising, while contemplating keeping a female. The economy & timing, also played a role

In other scenarios a rehome could consists of a family matter (divorce, etc), circumstance (financial, etc) or it could be something direct like downsizing. Behavioral issues could be a factor, but it’s often dictated by the program & isn’t as common

A lot of times they already have a training foundation, w/ either no or minimal behavioral issues & would easily transition into a new home, w/ very little maintenance

- Darshani was raised w/ a curriculum, taught basics, comes from a nice breeding & has a lovely temperament that would easily suit most home settings & is even beginner friendly

I personally adore her & know that she’s going to make someone/a family very happy. In the meantime, she’ll continue to be my little sidekick

It’s crazy that this little girl is still here:

She would be a wonderful addition for someone that prefers low maintenance, while also enjoying the benefits of the breed. She’s beginner friendly & just a overall doll

Temperament- Low to moderate drive, very human oriented, outgoing & easy to manage

If I had the space, she would definitely stay

Another common scam, is using forged payment platforms:

For reference, the 1st thing I do w/ an inquiry is review their FB profile & do a Google search. It was very apparent that this guy is a foreigner & a common scam artist, so I played along to gather info (my phone number & email is public)

- Alot of people don’t pickup on the broken language. The Zelle email template will also seem legit

- Anything coming from a legit platform, will be associated w/ their email (…. .com)

Had I clicked on any of the links, he would’ve gained my information. He has since been reported & under investigation

For clarification: I require a Application & phone interview, prior to accepting funds

He’s officially looking like a grown man. Time sure does fly bye

This is the orange collar male, from the Secret x Neo breeding

Darshani had a blast, exploring a new park

She would be a perfect addition, for someone that’s wanting the puppy experience, but also prefers to skip ground training

I’m definitely going to miss her when she goes

05/16/2024

Siobhan (Catinka von Cerberus)- Looking like a grown woman 😍

I love receiving updates

05/15/2024

Darshani is ready for a new adventure. I’ve become quite fond of her. She would do well in most home settings & would be a great adventure buddy

⚠️ Scams & Fake Accounts

Despite being a small Account, you can see the amount of interests from questionable sources. About a year ago, I added some of the most well known Countries to my blocked list, to help protect myself & the public:

Accounts from similar Countries, will intentionally monitor w/ the sole intent of stealing content for ads, websites & social media

Sometimes it can be fairly easy to decipher scams & fake Accounts, because they use the same Content. While others are more difficult to decipher, due to evolving skill sets (editing, proper grammar, etc)

- Here’s a couple of things you can do:

▫️Utilize Account settings on Social Media
▫️Reverse Google Search
▫️Learn about responsible Business practices
▫️Pay attention to grammar & edits
▫️Go w/ your gut (seems to good to be true, it usually is)
▫️Avoid spammy links

I plan on doing a more in depth series

Little girl ready to take on new adventures

🌼 PS Mother Nature: Can you please stop the trickery & playing w/ emotions. We just have some things to do 😩

03/12/2024

Coco (Cerberus von Daiyln) has officially made it, after a 5 day journey. Her Mum, has reported that she’s been great during this adventure & they made some pretty cool memories along the way

- Go Home’s are always a mix of emotions, between wondering about transitions, while also missing them, but it’s moments like this, that makes the chaos behind the scene worth it

03/08/2024

“Coco” L pink (Cerberus von Dailyn- Beautiful flower)

Her family decided to travel cross country from Cincinnati, back home to CA, where she’ll enjoy being spoiled & living on a Ranch

Throwbacks from 19” when Secret was just a whittle baby 😭

02/23/2024

Updated photos(vet wrap was removed right after “muddy outdoors”)

- We’ve been hanging out, doing all the things. Funny enough, Light Pink is still not impressed & Purple looks like a deer (same expression & position as last photos) 😂

Here’s a great opportunity for anyone in or near VA. You get a free Exam, Echo & Holter, while supporting research

- There’s limited spots, so you’ll need to reach out ASAP (contact info is below)

(Part 2) Follow up to my last post:

I previously mentioned that a lot of Dobe’s don’t live past 7-9 years old & the estimated lifespan is now 5-7 years old (7-9 2021)

Statistics: Around 68% of the breed, is estimated to be affected by DCM. Most people don’t know that it can also be onset by a insufficient diet & poor heart health (obesity & lack of exercise), w/ 0 relation to specific lines. The 2 other factors are more common here (US), due to our culture (not as active) & resources (ingredients & quality of diets)

- DCM Food For Thought: Studies originally claimed that 1 & 2 carriers, are more at risk, while others said there isn’t a correlation. A recent study, has found that American lines are solely affected by 1 & 2, while European lines are believed to be affected by 3 & 4

Other Serious Health Issues: Cancer/Tumors, Hypothyroidism & PRA (eyes). The breed is also highly prone to Gastric Dilation-Volvulus (bloat) & accidents in general, w/ no relation to health. Traits such as VWD & Dings (wobblers), can be avoided via DNA testing

Cont: Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA), mainly affects dilutes (blue, fawn, red), but it’s not as prevalent in European lines. Albino’s (white/cream), are more at risk for everything mentioned above, but also light/sun sensitivity, deafness & blindness

- Contributing Factors (US)- Majority of people aren’t willing to join a waitlist, refuse to transport, have a low budget, lack education about responsible practices or they just simply don’t care. Dobermans are also 1 of the leading breeds, w/ the least amount of genetic diversity

👉 If our breed is to stand chance, we need to collectively come together & be open minded to outside lines, because the huge divide in our community is just increasing our statistics. Education regarding responsible practices (breeding & acquiring new additions) is also extremely important

Edit: I posted part 2, regarding the breeds current health state

Cont: The point of this, was to show he met the standard (FCI 88-99lbs males) & his body condition, prior to being a Senior. It was also a insight into the breeds current stat’s (as a hole) & some of the reasoning behind it

In leu of some contraversay regarding Amani’s breeding:

Matador’s kennel (produced him), is usually frowned upon, mainly due to being a large kennel & DCM statistics. What you don’t see/hear, is the amount of dogs that they produce that live to 9+. However, they do have some practices that I’m not fond of

Large kennels are inevitably going to go have higher %’s, simply due to the sheer amount of dogs they produce. All though, you can be mindful of lines, in hopes of aiding in reducing said risk, but its not fool proof. Meaning, there’s NO guarantee, even w/ solely utilizing proven lines (health testing, longevity, etc) & it’s somewhere in EVERY pedigree, even reputable programs

- Before anyone jumps to conclusions, this is NOT a reach, nor am I bashing anyone specific

What most people don’t know, is that the picture of Matador was taken in August (23”), at 7yrs old (3yr old photo below), while competing in Europe

Why would I use him?

- My goal for this breeding was to reduce COI’s (relation %) & maintain longevity (9+). I decided to overlook certain traits, due age, temperament, current health testing & his Dam/Sire 9 & 11 “alive”). Aladin, also aligns, except he’s younger

To put it bluntly, I’m not going to pass on a dog, simply because of their kennel. It’s already extremely hard, to find dogs that meet my long term envision

If anyone has any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I don’t mind constructive criticism, as long as we’re able to have a civilized conversation. I’ll also glady send proof of health testing, since the majority of it isn’t in the OFA database

Pedigree combo’s, for reference:
