Well Cora is here from Europe where she has had a very successful show career and is beginning her work career. Everyone who sees her is amazed at her beauty and way of movement. My kids are blown away with her temperament and how she is willing to walk calmly on a leash for even my smallest children. She is exceptionally sweet and still has a ton of drive for the Tug, a ball and good old fashioned play. WE are excited to have her as part of our program.

We also have our P litter on the ground that was much awaited, and as the pups grow we are convinced more and more everyday that we picked the right pairing. The pups already at a very young age are showing great independence, drive and confidence. These pups are sure to be well known in the Doberman community.

Upcoming litters include a Half Red Half Black litter from Athena who like Uragan (the sire she is bred to) has earned her ZTP (Breeding evaluation) In Europe with the highest scores. These pups are sure to be great sport prospects and protective family companions. Both Uragan Best of Island and Athena Raiden Sky are great house dogs with my family, get along well with the pack, and love to work.

Next is a litter from Casa di Oro Donna Delana "Ruby" also bred to Uragan, and those who met her pups from last year can understand why some people were on a waiting list ever since her last litter. These will be some of the highest quality Doberman Puppies available anywhere. Ruby also earned her ZTP in Europe and is both an impressive working dog as well as a beloved family companion. She is my wifes favorite dog moving ahead of Coco since Ruby does not give kisses ;-)

Temperatures are hot here at the kennel and it is often time to remind folks how to care for their Dobes in the heat. Heat exhaustion can really take a toll on Dobermans, their short coats don't offer them much protection from the sun and they heat up very quickly. Wiping them down with wet towels while outside as well as other neat cooling products make for better summer recreation. Be sure to keep them drinking plenty of water so their bodies have the ability to cool down. Everywhere you go be sure to take water and dishes for your dog as you can never be sure of what you can find at your destination. I don't like to recommend other peoples products very often but here is a good choice:

Also here in Phoenix you have to be careful of the temperature of pavement, use alternatives when you can, or go early morning or late evening for your walks. If you have to walk at the hottest parts of the day consider boots to protect your dogs tender pads.
