About us & What we strive for
I have tried gathering a lot of info from different source's and bring them into one area. You will find many outside links on info that people want to know. And instead of searching site after site I have tried bringing a lot of the info to one site. So as to help those that are looking for info but don't have to time to spend searching long and hard. If I help one person I have done my job. And if you have a question that you may not find an answer to feel free to email me at mijnschatjedobermans@ctvea.net and I will try to help you.
I have had reds & blacks most of my life. Now I have Blues ,Creams(Whites) Fawn & Black. You will see a lot of negative out there on the Whites and Blues and the occasional jab at the fawn. I strive to better the breed. Especially the WZ lines (white). As I feel they are being persecuted unjustly. I do not inbreed. In my studies and talking with my vet and geneticist if you have a good background in your Whites or Creams doing a white to white breeding will not create problems. You can breed white to white if you know what color your whites are masking. I have had my Creams coat color tested by U of D Calif. They have called them Blond. There not Albino. And they state they do not know how the color has come about from there testing. Just breeding in of the colors. It only takes about 10 years to change the makeup of a breed for color, shape,size, according to studies done. In my searches and studies I have learned a lot. Some fact some fiction. But one thing I know from experience is that My Creams are just as good as any color I have owned. And I call them Cream because that is what mine are. They are not White. They are Cream color with White markings. I have not had aggression problems as some would like you to believe. I have had no skin or coat problems. And they can see just fine. All dogs squint in the bright sun. Some more than others. As do I. The bright light bothers my eyes.And I have brown eyes. Do you wear sun glass's? Get my point? Well why should we think our babies would be any different. My colored dogs even squint in the bright light to some degree. My Creams love laying in the sun on my deck. And they have never burned. There coats are just as thick or thicker than my Beloved Star and Sonja who were Red/Rust or my Beloved Bullet who was Black. There hearing is excellent. So do I see a difference in them? No I do not. They have trained just as easily as any other doberman I have raised.
This is not to say that you will not find whites or creams with problems. You will find whites that have problems if there breeding has been done wrong. By wrong I mean inbreeding and not watching what the lines and colors are like in the breeding's. They have not looked at the genetics of the dogs. Or by over breeding a female and having a weakened immune system and therefore producing a pup with a weakened immune system & or other problems. But you can also find Blacks, Reds, Fawns, & Blues that have problems just because a breeder did not think to look at what was in the background. Or to allow the female to rest between breeding's. So as to build the system back up to where it needs to be for another litter of good puppies. A breeder that cares about the dog will look at the overall. A breeder that is in it for the money will breed anything to anything. They don't care as long as they get pups to sell looking for that almighty dollar at the expense of the dog.
You will read a lot of negative about the Blues also. Yes some will have problems but most will not if there cared for right which includes the food that your feeding them, and you watch the breeding that you get them from. My Blues have no problems. They have good full coats and are beautiful dogs. I have talked with some that have hair problems, and in my research I have found that breeding has a lot to do with the coat problems as well as the food. Not just in the Blues but in the other colors as well. But we cannot blame breeding for everything. How you feed and care for your dog has a lot to do with how they will do. If you feed them just standard dry dog food there not going to get the things they need for there internal and external health. To learn more about feeding go to Dog Food, Know what your feeding your pet. And just like you or I they do need there vitamins and supplements to be there very best.
That's why I use Nu-Vet supplements
Take the fawns for example. If your not careful in your breeding of the fawns you can get dogs that have what is called Hogs hair. And just as it implies the hair is short and bristly just like a hog. You can get this by breeding fawn to fawn and white masking fawn to a fawn. From what I was told by someone that went to school and studied this area you can have 1/4 or more of your litter come out with hog hair if you breed wrong. So make sure you look at your background of the puppy you buy or if your breeding watch the background colors. Be a responsible dog owner and breeder.
If you are interested in tracking your puppies background I run across Marty she does background tracing. As well as showing her dogs. And her price's were better than most I found on the net. If you would like to contact her you can do so at RacnGal@aol.com or visit her website at www.telaria.org.
Are you really ready for that puppy??
Think ahead to what it is going to change in your life having dogs. How it is going to change your life such as traveling, & vacations. Do you know what Hotels will accept your dogs? How many will they accept? What size or kind will they accept. Not all place's will take large dogs. Do you know what your going to do with your dog ? Are you going to Board him /her or leave him/her with a friend? If he/she is going to travel with you is he/she going to be comfortable? Travel tips to help you out . If you want to get away for a weekend what are you going to do? These are all things that you need to think about before buying a puppy. If this puppy is traveling with you are you properly prepared ? Some health tips for summer Safety and other info can be found here.
Dobermans are a kind and sensitive breed, eager to please and easy to motivate. They find praise and petting an excellent reward for doing a good job. Sometimes they can be clowns. They love to run, play,wrestle, chase a ball or Frisbee. They will do just about anything you ask of them. They can entertain themselves without getting in trouble, if they have been taught what they are allowed to play with and what there not. They do well in packs, pairs or singles so long as their human family becomes part of their "pack." They will have there pecking order. You will have the Alpha dog that rules the rest of them. They are so much fun to have. You can't help but love them.They are very affectionate dogs, and will demand your personal attention if you don't volunteer it. And they can be very jealous of your time.They come to want the same things you want, and look forward to your routine. They will not be like the hound dog that just lays on the front porch bark at strangers and wags there tail. They want a job. They want to please you. They have a look to them that keeps the "bad guys" away. But they have to be trained to become a real protection dog they don't just know how. They are not mean vicious dogs by nature. But they can be trained that way.
Here you will see some of our Babies. And find lots of useful information for your Babies no matter what color you have, raise or breed. Things like your puppies first day, Tips on Training your puppy, Plants that can be poisonous to your puppy,and foods, How to detect Parvo and treat it, Distemper and more. Where you can buy medicines, vaccines and more at the best price's. And knowing your dog food and what is in it .Are you feeding them good food or fillers. And did you know you can do CPR on your pet!! Your pet can also benefit from Chiropractic care. If you have a pup that has neck or back problems they can be adjusted. If your within traveling range Dr.Stowe in Phenix City, Al. will work with your babies.

I have had numerous people ask if you can register a white or show them. Yes a white can be registered. The AKC has absolutely no problem with registering them. And as to showing. Yes you can show a white in AKC Companion events including obedience, agility, rally and tracking.Altho your going to get a lot of flack from the DPCA crowd. So you better have tuff skin if you want to show a white. I have also had people tell me that you can not show a WZ dog. Not true. You most certainly can. I specifically contacted the AKC and asked the question about showing and this is the response that I got.
Hello,
A WZ registration number does not in and of itself disqualify a dog from any competition. If the dog is of an acceptable color for conformation competition, the dog would be eligible. The judge does not review the catalog and would not be aware of the WZ number; but you may receive some input from other exhibitors who, in their opinion, find disfavor with exhibiting dogs carrying the Z factor. Dogs who are actually a disqualifying color are eligible to compete in AKC Companion events including obedience, agility, rally and tracking.

So I hope that this helps answer a few questions about the Z factor and Registration and showing.I don't know how many times I have seen on someones site or in a blog or site that talks about dogs the words you cannot register a white or you cannot show a white/Cream. They need to get there facts straight before spouting off. If you have questions go to AKC.Org and ask. They are very swift in getting back to you. I know, I ask a lot when I can't find the info I am looking for.
To see some lovely creams or Z dogs that show or have shown click on Frost.
Here you will also find Links, and pictures and even some info on and from other Quality Breeders. By Quality Breeders I mean Breeders that care about the Dogs and making the bloodlines better and not just doing it to make money. These Breeders are the ones that worm there pups like there supposed to , give them there shots like there supposed to, Feed them good Quality food and turn out some beautiful pups. Breeders that breed once a year and don't run there females into the ground .That have there dogs tested prior to breeding to make sure your not passing or getting any dogie disease's. Breeders that will stand behind there pups they sell. I welcome Quality Breeders. If it is found to be that you do not raise your dogs by the proper standard then you will be asked to leave or banned. This is a website to have fun learn things make friends and just enjoy yourself. No Bashing of other breeders or people will be allowed. No bashing of any colors or practice's. Each and every breeder is going to do things differently. You can ask questions but don't put someone down for what they do just because you may not agree with them. We each look at things differently. A big contention seems to be in the whites. If you don't like the whites don't join my website. Plain and simple because most all of us here have whites and love them and know for a fact what there like and what they can and can't tolerate etc... So don't come and try and tell us about our dogs. We know them a whole lot better than you do.
I do personally have whites & blues that have white to white breeding in there backgrounds. They are the most loving and gentle dogs. I have met the parents of my whites and blues and they were very well behaved and nice dogs. And you will find in most all dogs you will have line breeding to some extent. As to Champion Lines. If your dog is a WZ he will have Champions in his bloodline as the first whites came from Champion dogs. Tho they may be some years back your dog more than likely has some good champions way back there. Just food for thought for you.
I have raised Husky's, Dalmatian's, Shepard's and Dobermans in my lifetime. And Siamese cats. I bred to improve the breeds. Not just to have puppies to sell. Now I breed Dobermans only. I am not a big Breeder. Until now I had just a couple of females at a time. Now I have 5. But I still only have a couple 3 litters a year. I don't like to breed my females till the second heat ideally. But if there over a year and full size it is safe to do so if the female is in top shape. I feel no female should be bred more than once a year. Under normal circumstances. But in discussing with my vet if your female is in good shape doing a back to back is OK if you skip the next heat. As in the wild they breed each heat. And if you have a female that is prone to false pregnancy's. A back to back is recommended, then a year off. Sometimes there are exceptions and sometimes you have an oops but all in all once a year gives you better quality pups and a better momma dog. But sometimes a back to back and then a year layoff is good. It all depends on how your female is health wise. How you feed and care for them has a lot to do with whether you would do a back to back. Our Dobermans are like our children. They live in the home with us, they eat with us, and we play a lot. There are no pens or cages in my house. They have free run of the house. I do have a super large puppy area that is attached to my house also by it's own dog door. My Zues goes with me everywhere. Even to work. Thor is learning to be my go with companion. And Zaria is now in training to be my go companion too.She is over a year old.She enjoys going to work with me & Zues. They get to meet new people and new things everyday out. Our babies are raised on Holistic Food. And food that I cook for them. Because they need good food with good ingredients. Not fillers and by products. And it is cheaper to cook for your baby than to buy canned. They need there fruits and veggies just like you and I do.They need there vitamins,minerals and herbs just like you and I. Nu-Vet and Show Stopper is there supplement. They are both great it has everything they need for building a wonderful sleek & well built dog. Instead of trying to get your dog to take a bunch of pills for all the extras that they may need try an all in one powder that you can add to there food or Tabs that you give them as treats. I get my Nu-Vet tabs at Nu-Vet.com There are 2 place's that match price on ShowStopper, one is http://www.showandsport.com and the other is www.k9power.com I have had several people that I have recommended it to for skin coat problems that have gotten back to me and told me what a wonderful job it has done on there baby. Crystal in Arizona glad it helped your baby. And Nick in Mass. has said it worked wonders on his baby that had a bad skin and coat problem. Check out
for many other things as well.
If you try the Nu-Vet use referral # 98794 when you place your order. Nu-Vet is slightly cheaper for those that are on a budget. But both products are just great. Nu-Vet gives you a breakdown of just whats in there supplement and what it does for your dog. Both are cold processed and natural Human grade ingredients used to make them. Nu-Vet has just a bit more in it but as I said both are good.
Our Dobermans have lovely dispositions, Great conformation, & Beautiful Coats. I do rescue so some of my babies are rescue babies but all are registered AKC. Currently I have 9 dobie children. 2 AKC Blue/Rust Yogi's Sweet Blue Zues (wz) and Yogi's Sweet Sasha Blue,(wz), 4 Beautiful ( Cream/White.) AKC Registered White Thor's White Lightening , Selene ll MijnSchatje Sunshine Moon ,Sasha's Creamy White Zaria daughter of Sasha and Loki & MijnSchatje Sweet Creamy Isis daughter of Zaria and Zues. All have Phantom bloodlines. 1 AKC Fawn/Rust (Isabella) male Loki's Dream (wz). 1 AKC Blue/Tan Sweet Dar-Keela Dream daughter of Sasha and Loki and 1 Black/Rust MijnSchatje Maximum Kimber Rose. My daughter & Son in law have a 1 AKC Blue/Rust female Babes Blue Sheba Girl (WZ) Sister to Zues and Sasha. 1 AKC registered white Athena's Snow Dream (wz) sister to Thor. Phantom Bloodlines also. And they kept 2 pups from Sheba & Clydeo's first litter,a Black/Rust female Freya the Charmed One & a Black/Tan female Blacktie the Love Bug. I hope someday to breed Cream/Whites. As you can tell from my babies I have fallen in love with the Creams. LOL>> I have researched them for about 2 years now and find that they truly are just as good as any other color. Mine are Cream color with white markings where the rust or tan markings would be and beautiful blue eyes. And there just lovely dogs.They are no different that I see than any Doberman I have ever raised.I have no skin coat problems,or any other problems with them. But that is all in how you care for your dog. Currently I am having my Creams coat color tested at University of Davis Calif. As there color is such a golden color. And I have produced a couple of very dark Cream pups. Some people like the snow white doberman but I personally love the Cream.
With the help of some wonderful breeders of whites & Colored dogs like Darlene& Ike , I am learning more each day about them. And hope to improve the whites thru breeding in good bloodlines. All our dogs are AKC registered. vWD tested. And will be OFA tested when old enough. Age varies by state for OFA testing. Our babies have the run of the house and land.They all run together there are no pens of any kind they stay in. If needed I have separate yards but as of now the gates are open between the 3 yards about an acre of land to run & play in. I do have a kennel run for when a female comes in heat. But I have my boys trained pretty well and only have to use it when I am not at home. I have trained my males to the Zone and I put a Zone on my females. put the collars on my males and they stay away from the females. It is working great. Otherwise I just close a gate and separate my boys and girls. Dobermans are a special breed of Dog.They're very smart and fast learners. Raised right they are the greatest with kids. They are so loving & loyal given the right home and conditions. And they remember things done to them or for them. They have earned a bad rep that they do not deserve. But mainly because of abuse to them and then they have turned trying to defend themselves or they have been trained to be mean and vicious. A doberman is not born vicious. Before purchasing a Doberman, ask yourself what quality of life he would have with you and your family .Do you have a fenced yard where they can run & play? Dobermans are a very high energy dog. We like to see them have a home in which they will be treated like a family member. Spend time with your Doberman, train him, take him places, let him be a part of your life & family . Learn about him/her, likes & dislikes.This is what we want for all of our puppies.A good loving home. Not a kennel or pen or chain. . If you want more info or have a question feel free to email me at mijnschatjedobermans@ctvea.net Or if you just love to talk dogs and want to chat IM me on yahoo. mslvrfx. Or msn messenger.mslvrfx@hotmail.com .My dogs are my kids. And I would do anything for them. I rescue dogs now and then and try to find loving homes for them. Not just dobermans but others too.
Don't forget.. Give your dog a hug everyday. You never know when it might be the last one.
If you want to see more pictures of My babies go to myspace. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=19729506

And Zaria is now in training to be my go companion too.She is over a year old.She enjoys going to work with me & Zues. They get to meet new people and new things everyday out. Our babies are raised on Holistic Food. And food that I cook for them. Because they need good food with good ingredients. Not fillers and by products. And it is cheaper to cook for your baby than to buy canned. They need there fruits and veggies just like you and I do.They need there vitamins,minerals and herbs just like you and I. Nu-Vet and Show Stopper is there supplement. They are both great it has everything they need for building a wonderful sleek & well built dog. Instead of trying to get your dog to take a bunch of pills for all the extras that they may need try an all in one powder that you can add to there food or Tabs that you give them as treats. I get my Nu-Vet tabs at Nu-Vet.com There are 2 place's that match price on ShowStopper, one is http://www.showandsport.com and the other is www.k9power.com I have had several people that I have recommended it to for skin coat problems that have gotten back to me and told me what a wonderful job it has done on there baby. Crystal in Arizona glad it helped your baby. And Nick in Mass. has said it worked wonders on his baby that had a bad skin and coat problem. Check out
for many other things as well. If you try the Nu-Vet use referral # 98794 when you place your order. Nu-Vet is slightly cheaper for those that are on a budget. But both products are just great. Nu-Vet gives you a breakdown of just whats in there supplement and what it does for your dog. Both are cold processed and natural Human grade ingredients used to make them. Nu-Vet has just a bit more in it but as I said both are good.
Our Dobermans have lovely dispositions, Great conformation, & Beautiful Coats. I do rescue so some of my babies are rescue babies but all are registered AKC. Currently I have 9 dobie children. 2 AKC Blue/Rust Yogi's Sweet Blue Zues (wz) and Yogi's Sweet Sasha Blue,(wz), 4 Beautiful ( Cream/White.) AKC Registered White Thor's White Lightening , Selene ll MijnSchatje Sunshine Moon ,Sasha's Creamy White Zaria daughter of Sasha and Loki & MijnSchatje Sweet Creamy Isis daughter of Zaria and Zues. All have Phantom bloodlines. 1 AKC Fawn/Rust (Isabella) male Loki's Dream (wz). 1 AKC Blue/Tan Sweet Dar-Keela Dream daughter of Sasha and Loki and 1 Black/Rust MijnSchatje Maximum Kimber Rose. My daughter & Son in law have a 1 AKC Blue/Rust female Babes Blue Sheba Girl (WZ) Sister to Zues and Sasha. 1 AKC registered white Athena's Snow Dream (wz) sister to Thor. Phantom Bloodlines also. And they kept 2 pups from Sheba & Clydeo's first litter,a Black/Rust female Freya the Charmed One & a Black/Tan female Blacktie the Love Bug. I hope someday to breed Cream/Whites. As you can tell from my babies I have fallen in love with the Creams. LOL>> I have researched them for about 2 years now and find that they truly are just as good as any other color. Mine are Cream color with white markings where the rust or tan markings would be and beautiful blue eyes. And there just lovely dogs.They are no different that I see than any Doberman I have ever raised.I have no skin coat problems,or any other problems with them. But that is all in how you care for your dog. Currently I am having my Creams coat color tested at University of Davis Calif. As there color is such a golden color. And I have produced a couple of very dark Cream pups. Some people like the snow white doberman but I personally love the Cream.
With the help of some wonderful breeders of whites & Colored dogs like Darlene& Ike , I am learning more each day about them. And hope to improve the whites thru breeding in good bloodlines. All our dogs are AKC registered. vWD tested. And will be OFA tested when old enough. Age varies by state for OFA testing. Our babies have the run of the house and land.They all run together there are no pens of any kind they stay in. If needed I have separate yards but as of now the gates are open between the 3 yards about an acre of land to run & play in. I do have a kennel run for when a female comes in heat. But I have my boys trained pretty well and only have to use it when I am not at home. I have trained my males to the Zone and I put a Zone on my females. put the collars on my males and they stay away from the females. It is working great. Otherwise I just close a gate and separate my boys and girls. Dobermans are a special breed of Dog.They're very smart and fast learners. Raised right they are the greatest with kids. They are so loving & loyal given the right home and conditions. And they remember things done to them or for them. They have earned a bad rep that they do not deserve. But mainly because of abuse to them and then they have turned trying to defend themselves or they have been trained to be mean and vicious. A doberman is not born vicious. Before purchasing a Doberman, ask yourself what quality of life he would have with you and your family .Do you have a fenced yard where they can run & play? Dobermans are a very high energy dog. We like to see them have a home in which they will be treated like a family member. Spend time with your Doberman, train him, take him places, let him be a part of your life & family . Learn about him/her, likes & dislikes.This is what we want for all of our puppies.A good loving home. Not a kennel or pen or chain. . If you want more info or have a question feel free to email me at mijnschatjedobermans@ctvea.net Or if you just love to talk dogs and want to chat IM me on yahoo. mslvrfx. Or msn messenger.mslvrfx@hotmail.com .My dogs are my kids. And I would do anything for them. I rescue dogs now and then and try to find loving homes for them. Not just dobermans but others too.
Don't forget.. Give your dog a hug everyday. You never know when it might be the last one.

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough
people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food
donated every day to abused and neglected animals.
It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on the purple
box "fund food for animals" for free. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their
corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate
food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
