Cottle Clan's Doberman Pinschers

    As a family, we breed our beloved pets and raise the puppies to be well socialized with older adults, young children and also other animals. We only plan limited litters so that each litter is properly cared for. Our goal is to ensure our puppy is ready to enter your home for life. The reason we are breeding these magnificent creatures is to share the joy we have found in our remarkable pets with others. We believe we are bettering your life by finding a lifemate for you. For this reason, we make every attempt to use puppy profiling to place the most compatible puppy with your family.

  Puppy profiling can only be done by people who have vast experience with dogs and spend quality time with each puppy individually and collectively to observe the social dynamics. My husband lovingly refers to me as the "puppy whisperer". I love watching the puppies personalities as they mature and searching for a family that is compatible with the pup. There is no greater joy in this area than placing a pup and hearing just how perfectly matched the union is. For this reason, I felt it important to inform you of my background with dogs.

                    Professional

   I was raised in a home where both dogs and cats were shown, bred and trained. At the age of 10 I began competing in the junior showmanship divisions at AKC dog shows. As a teenager, I began training my own dogs from multiple breeds and began handling my parents show dogs in the ring for them.  I have many ribbons, plaques, trophies and titles to show for my work in this area.

  With over 35 years of experience in the dog world, I have settled on the doberman as my breed of choice. They are, in my opinion, a superior breed. They are intelligent, majestic in stature, elegant in motion and have many other attributes that make the doberman an asset to our family.

                         General

   Although I was raised in a home with pets, I did not receive my first dog until the age of 15. This was when my true love for dogs blossomed. When I left for college, I was very limited in where I could live because I had a dog, but I see pets as family members and I just never believed in leaving them behind. I cannot imagine my life without a canine in it and I would never want to be anyplace that my "babies" were not welcome.

   For this reason, let me stress once again how important it is to consider your new puppy a family member and lifemate.
