I'm the breeder behind Double D Picards and GWPs located in Umatilla, FL. At Double D, it is of the utmost importance to us that our dogs are health tested and have well-balanced temperaments. We start them out on day one with ENS (early neurological stimulation), and our GWP pups are introduced to birds at around 4 weeks. Our Berger Picards and GWPs are among the top show and performance dogs in the US and Asia. We are proud to be Breeders of Merit with the AKC.
About Deanna
Rick and I have been on a path for the past 20 years to make sure that we improve on our breeds and produce better than what we started out with. It starts from the day we line up breeding pairs. We study everything we can about the potential of the pairing, from health to structure and temperament. The purposeful dog has always been the end result we strive for.
What makes Deanna’s program special
We produce and own dogs that excel in show, performance, and field. They are also amazing family pets. We have been able to produce type and a signature look in both of our breeds. People can recognize a Double D dog anywhere. We own and have produced National Specialty winners, BOB winners at Westminster, and BOB AKC National Championship multi-group winning and field winning dogs. We have high expectations for our puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home!

Deanna has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,800 - $4,000 and include a non-refundable deposit of $200.
“Our GWPs are $1800- $2000, and our Berger Picards are $4000. The deposit is refundable if we don't have a puppy that matches the buyer's home.”
Deanna may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Deanna offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Deanna directly.
We use Early Neurological Stimulation and pieces of Puppy Culture with the new pups. They are introduced to potty training and crate training before they leave, and GWP pups are also introduced to birds starting around week 4. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Car Training, Various Surfaces, Daily Interactions, Crate Training, Potty Training, Come Command, "No" Biting or Chewing, Body Handling Protocol (e.g. Sitting Still for Grooming), Touch Desensitization, Grooming Desensitization, Sound Stimulation, Socialized with Elderly, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Children, Sit Command, and Leash Walking.
All puppies begin a worming protocol at 2 weeks. First vaccines are given at 8 weeks, and vaccine protocol is sent home with the new owners.
We send our puppies home with Microchip, Volhard Personality Test, Vaccinations, Food Starter Bag, Certificate of Health, Blanket with Mom's Scent, Blanket with Littermates Scent, and AKC Registration.
Deanna offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
Why Deanna started breeding
We got into breeding with the Berger Picard about 20 years ago. We imported our first Picard from Austria, and at that time there were only about 11 in North America. We fell in love with the breed and wanted to introduce them to the world. It's been an amazing journey and we love to share these wonderful breeds with others.
