A LITTLE ABOUT US.
*Clean facilities with reasonable care and love equals healthy, happy puppies.
Our dogs are highly well-loved and cared for.
I have over 14 years of animal care experience, including training and caring for dogs. Thus, I have plenty of knowledge in rearing and imprinting dogs. No effort and time has been spared in rearing each litter of puppies and caring for our dogs.
It is a privilege to breed and create, and my goal is to breed robust dogs that can also work and be easy to live with.
We welcome inspections as we believe everyone buying a puppy should meet the parents and view their home.
*Temperature controlled
Insulated puppy temperature-controlled room with access to outdoor yards
*Outdoor Yards
Dogs require stimulus and good exercise. They are an enormous breed of energy dogs. We play with the puppies regularly, and working from home, there is always plenty of care. Living on acreage gives us plenty of room and large grassy running areas to explore for our pups.
Our pups are indoors as well, and at night and have temperature-controlled rooms, we toilet train our puppies throughout the night of a day they have their rooms open so they have access to their outdoor areas.
*Plenty of things to explore
At Newdawn Doberman Pups, our puppies have access to sizeable grassy puppy areas and are also rotated to different places, so they have many stimuli from various environments.
We also have large indoor rooms that join our home, so puppies are reared as part of our family with loads of handling and interaction day and night.
*Creature Comforts
Lots of creature comforts with clean bedding and spotless conditions.
*Natural Diet
Our Dobermanns are fed two times a day. The mother and pups get food to munch on all day. Their diet is based on natural, fresh meats, bones, vegetables, grains, and fruits.
The dogs reflect on the care and dedication which goes into them.
All dogs, even girls with lots of pups on them, are always in top condition, and our girls make oodles of milk due to their high-quality diet and care. Puppies are mud fat and get plenty of mum’s milk until seven weeks of age.
They also commence lots of high-quality fresh foods from 3.5-4 weeks of age onwards.
*All about health
At Newdawn Doberman Pups, we strive to breed a robust-bodied, hardy dog with good conformation for healthy longevity.
We breed for stability by working and testing breeding dogs for thick nerves. We breed dogs that love the ball and water. We target breeding an interactive dog that loves to please their owner with good handler sensitivity and balanced drives.
OUR BREEDING PRACTICES
At Newdawn Doberman Pups, we work very hard to raise healthy dogs. Healthy puppies cannot come from unhealthy parents. In a nutshell, we feed only high-quality kibble and, follow Dr. Core Vaccine Protocol minimal pesticides, and breed for ourselves. Breed for ourselves? What does that mean? Read on.
Our Dogs:
We try to obtain what we feel are the best bloodlines in temperament, type, and health. Temperament has become a massive focus for us. Any dog we bring into our family and incorporate into our breeding program will get nothing less than the love he/she deserves as a family companion, appropriately raised and mentally conditioned for the breed.
Our Puppies:
If you’ve ever wondered about our puppies, this is an excellent place to be.
Since we take such diligent care of our dogs, we feel that our puppies, from conception, have the best possible chance at a healthy life. Not always will you be able to come to us for the same old protocol of raising a puppy? The reason for this? We continually strive for better education and EXPERIENCE regarding health and well-being. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a solid breeding program. We never claim to have all the answers. However, when we have answers proven to us through experience, you better believe we are willing to share our information with anyone we can to educate others better, as so many have been willing to educate us.
Breeding Practices:
We don’t follow any one method of determining the best breeding method. Many breed based on phenotype or genotype, and many rely on a combination. It all has its ups and downs. Again, we will stress that if you don’t have a healthy and sound dog, you don’t have anything.
Socialization:
Sometimes I feel, like after all the preaching we do to families coming to us for their new companion and best friend, I don’t think it sets in just how vital Socialization is, what it means, and how to do it. Socialization starts with the breeder, but this is not the Socialization I am talking about. Most puppies leave us at 09-16 weeks of age. Socialization must come from YOU, the new caretaker/slave/owner/best friend. Socialization means taking your puppy OUTSIDE of the home to as many new places and experiences as possible, around strangers, children, other dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, you name it! Socialization does NOT mean inviting your neighbor over to the house for social hour; it does not mean your child’s friends coming over for a play date or the neighbor’s dog that slips under the fence and rears his head to play with your dog. I see way too many people keeping their puppy in a bubble for fear of contracting parvo as the main reason, lack of time and commitment, and a variety of other reasons. I can’t stress enough how vital socialization is and getting your puppy out and about different areas. Three new senses each day during his/her fragile developing mind. Don’t want or have time to socialize? Know what the consequences are? A dog that barks and growls at nearly every passing dog while on your leisurely walk around the block. A dog that you have to put in another room because he lunges or jumps on people every time someone comes inside your home. A dog that runs and hides. A dog that pees on himself. Have you ever seen people who show up at places, open their dog to their vehicle without a leash, and their dog jumps out, wagging his tail and listening to every little thing their owner says? This came from an owner who socialized their dog and also trained it.
Training:
I am often asked when to start training, and usually, I direct this info to people, yet I am approached with the same questions of when I should train my dog and why my dog doesn’t listen to me. Training starts from the day you bring your puppy home. Training needs leadership, and leadership comes from good and practical training. Training needs to start immediately. It’s so easy to spend 5-minute sessions with your new puppy at any age and have that little one slamming his butt on the ground for his treat or reward. Why wait until the puppy is four months to a year to begin? If you waited this long to start training your dog, you probably also failed in the Socialization part. Because basic training is just like basic manners and leadership, more advanced training can be sought as your puppy develops, but instilling some basic principles into the young pup will make your job as the pack leader so much easier as that puppy matures and approaches sexual maturity.
Pack Leadership:
Pack leadership is separate from training, although it goes hand in hand. The first step and suggestion is to ensure you are acquiring a puppy or dog with the temperament, drive, and activity level you desire. If you are submissive and quiet, the last thing you will want is an alpha-type dog. Starting with the right dog in any breed will increase your bond over the years and make your friendship much more enjoyable. So, start with the right puppy and establish pack leadership when the puppy/dog walks in the door. What may seem like basic manners to some is pack leadership. Examples: You eat first, dog eats last. You walk through the door first, and the dog follows. If you need more information on Pack Leadership and Training, Contact Me.
Nutrition:
Let me introduce myself briefly here. Dogs are my life. I have a breeding program that is not only for pet dogs. My goal is to make my dogs healthier, and my job is to make your dog’s life healthier. If I put in all the hard work, why would someone want to ruin all that hard work by not following a way of raising dogs that has proven time and time again to be the best method for short-term and long-term health? I don’t have dogs as a hobby. I have them as a passion. I eat, sleep, and breathe dogs. I live with them 24 hours a day and spend Thousands upon Thousands on their upbringing.
Vaccines:
We follow a very minimal vaccine protocol using “core” vaccines. For more info regarding vaccines, our protocol, and vaccinosis, please get in touch with us for more details
Exercise:
Each breed develops A puppy at different rates, but here I will give info on Doberman Puppies.
Strenuous exercise before the age of at least 18 months of age will take a toll on your dogs’ joints later in life, if not increase injury early on. The recommended amount of exercise for a puppy is enough to mentally and physically tire the puppy without stress. Young puppies can benefit from lots of different training exercises to tire the brain and enough physical exercise to tire the body, but not to exhaustion. Grass or soft surfaces are preferred over long walks on pavement. Using a Doberman Puppy as a running partner should be advised after the dog has reached at least 18 months and has his/her hips and elbows x-rayed. Anything sooner for those activities will weigh heavily on his/her joints, and seeing those later in age.
This is an X-ray of a puppy at two weeks old – look to see how far the bones have to grow to just become proper bony joints, let alone become strong articulating joints that have correct feedback into the brain… this is why it is imperative that we don’t over-exercise our puppies, and certainly not jump them or train them too hard before they are fully developed. There are different age categories for various breeds and if the dog has had any specific problems during its puppyhood. Please be careful at this stage so the dog’s joints will last well as they age! Longevity is key!
Spay/Neuter:
Think about this. Spay/Neutering. Those “in” horses might better understand this when they say that if they geld that colt now, he will grow. Ever notice gelding a young colt, and suddenly, he shoots up in height?
As always, I encourage anyone with questions about these topics to contact us. If you try us by phone without a response, try our email. Likewise, if you email without a response, try phoning us. At different times of the year, we are more accessible to reach one of these methods. Between the daily time it takes to spend with each dog and the everyday routines of a family, some ways of contact can be better than others. We respond to all emails, phone calls, and questionnaires within 24 hours, sometimes in 1 week. You will get in touch if you are genuinely interested in speaking with us.
