Q. & A. with Linda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with the Doberman breed. I truly enjoy puppies, the training, and the ability to mold them into wonderful companions and family members. I enjoy learning and find genetics interesting. I pride myself in being a part of preserving the history and purpose of Dobermans. It is very exciting to be a part of it! I strive to be a quality breeder that puppy owners can depend on for support and knowledge.

  • What makes your program special?

    Communication! Too many breeders are not good at communicating. I want to be honest, transparent, hold good intentions, and hold the best health and longevity practices. My goal is to ensure my puppies are in life-long homes and that those homes are prepared and know what to expect in their new family member. Puppy owners are always able to contact me with questions.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

“The price includes deworming as needed and a cleared health check prior to rehoming. Puppies are cropped and docked and are fully healed before going home. The first puppy vaccinations are completed. AKC microchipping is done and registered by me before they go home with myself being 2nd contact. All puppies are the same price.

Great level

Rockhill Dobermans reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Doberman Pinschers.

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
