Due to high demand, I decided to post information on our dobe pups:
First off, please be aware that these are family owned. We are not professional breeders; we are just people who love dobes! Although both the sire and dam have champions in their bloodlines, we are selling them as pet quality. The reason for this is that we want to share family raised dobes with families.
The parents are well socialized and have been raised with small children, just as the pups will be exposed to prior to going home with their new parents. We keep our dobes in the house and have four children ranging from two months to 11 years old. We home educate out children and we are both stay at home parents. We live on a ranch and our days are filled with ranch-type activities.
The sire of this litter is Xzus and he is our pride and joy! Our red and rust four years old works cattle, helps to corral escaped chickens and runs with our children to protect them from snakes and other critters. He is an 85 pound gentle giant. Our two year old puts her blanket on him and rides him like a pony. He also responds to her commands and stands between her and any stranger to come around. He loves to run with us to check fences and pretty much goes anywhere we do.
The dam of this litter is three year old Athena and she is also gentle in nature. She is black and rust and weighs only 65 pounds. She was raised by other members of our family until they decided that it wasn't fair for her to live in the city. They gave her to us. She came to the ranch at around ten months and although she isn't as well trained as Xzus, she is extremely sweet and our boys love to play with her.
This is Xzus and Athena's second litter. The first litter yielded eight pups of black, red and fawn. One of the pups went through full genetic testing and everything was perfect. Because of no genetic defects, we feel confident in breeding this pair.
This litter has 9 pups of black, red, fawn and blue. They are as follows:
3 black and rust females
1 black and rust male
1 blue male
2 red males
2 fawn females
The blue and black males along with one black female are currently spoken for.
We screen potential homes for our dobes because we want the best for them. We are looking for families that are able to provide the best for these beloved creatures. This means they should be both nurtured and challenged. Being placed in a kennel with food and water doesn't cut it for us. These dogs need to have both companionship and a sense of duty. If you feel you can provide this and want a dobe that is child/family oriented then you are definitely looking at a wonderful litter full of potential.
I will post some updates if there is a lot of response to this. If you are interested in a pup, please leave some sort of contact information in the comments section. Thanks.
