Testimonials

I cannot express how wonderful this organization treats its puppies, prospect forever homeowners, and buyers. This family-run business is responsive, kind, and cares about their Dobermans. Don goes above and beyond to make sure his puppies go to a good home. He ensures quality puppies and listens to the needs of the forever family. I contacted several other breeders in the area. While they are perfectly adequate organizations (assuming NOT backyard breeders), it would behoove you to choose Ohio Dobermans. I could not ask for a better experience when purchasing this puppy. While atypical, I am attempting to train my new puppy as a psychiatric service dog. Don listened to my temperament requests and worked with me to find the perfect puppy. I HIGHLY encourage you to work with Ohio Dobermans. I know I found my breeder for life because of the kindness Don and family showed me during this time.

I am very pleased with the knowledge, quality, care and love that Don and his family has for this breed. Don ensured if I needed anything for our new family member to not hesitate to contact him with questions or concerns and gives additional information and resources for care. I'm so happy with his pic for the perfect pup for our family she is absolutely wonderful. I would definitely recommend Ohio Doberman to anyone looking for a wonderful addition to their family.

Beautiful puppy. Fantastic temperament. Don and his family do a great job socializing and providing a superior puppy. Transition to our home was seamless and we couldn’t be happier! Thanks for our little Molly Lucille! We love her!

Don was absolutely great to work with. He was friendly, accommodating, reliable, and obviously cared about his pups. He has given us the perfect addition to our family. We’ll never get a Doberman anywhere but Ohio Doberman’s!

Ohio Dobermans was nothing but amazing to work with! Extremely friendly and professional! They walked me through everything and were constantly keeping me up to date. The email instructions for taking your puppy home and all aspects of new life with your puppy is very in depth and extremely helpful! The take home packets are very well made and have everything you need! They are also very friendly to Veterans and First Responders and that was amazing to see!

Tim M.

Our family has had the best experience with Don. Our puppy is a perfect match for our family. Don has provided helpful videos tutorials for common things we need to know about the care of our Doberman. He is also very responsive to any questions I have had, and loves to hear about the puppy. He kept us informed of the puppy up until we picked him up with photos and information. I would highly recommend Ohio Doberman’s to anyone looking for a perfect Doberman companion.

Teddi F.

Ohio Dobermans raises beautiful healthy and intelligent quality dobermans. Don is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with any questions that arise. He shows his love for the breed with his care of the puppies. I did spend more than I originally anticipated prior to my search for a healthy puppy, but I will say, my puppy is worth it!

We recently received our second pup from Ohio Dobermans and we look forward to coming back for our third in the future!! Don has been so easy to work with, is very communicative, and always available to answer any questions. He is very knowledgeable and it’s clear that he and his family care greatly for all of their pups, and the families they go to. Don follows the lives of his puppies and when you get a puppy from Ohio Dobermans, you become part of the family. After getting our first pup from them, I started following many of their other puppies and have seen what nice and quality dogs they’ve turned out to be, with fantastic temperaments. I can’t recommend them enough if you’re looking for a Doberman puppy!!!

Brad & Pauline S.

Getting our first Doberman from Don was the best decision we could have ever made.I’m so happy we decided to go with Ohio Dobermans.Don was very professional and informative to any questions we may have had since the beginning and even after our whole journey of getting our fur baby.He really makes it feel like we’re a family now and I wouldn’t go to anyone else to get my Doberman from here on out.If you’re looking for a breeder who knows what he’s doing, cares for and loves his dogs,as well as someone who makes the whole process go as smoothly as possible I’d highly recommend Don and Ohio Dobermans. I promise you won’t regret it!

Don is an amazing breeder with such a passion. I had called a few breeders before I reached Ohio Dobermans and all of them seemed to not care about the dogs, only the money. They were 30 second conversations saying when they would be ready and how much, that’s it. With Don, I called him and we talked for almost an hour, not just about the dogs but about life as well. Through the whole process, Don was there for me to reach out to and ask any questions. He updated me any time there was something to know about and was always so kind. Also, after receiving my pup, he still answered any of the questions I had almost immediately. Don is a wonderful breeder and someone who will be there for you and the dog for the rest of their lives. You would be silly to go anywhere else to get a Doberman/life long friend. Thank you, Don!

We got our puppy, Akela, from Ohio Dobermans about five months ago. And let me just say, I will never go to another doberman breeder. Don and his family poor so much time, passion, and love into their dogs; business; and puppies that they produce. Their dogs go through extensive health testing, training, and they go through temperament testing. All to make sure that the most well rounded, top notch pups are produced. After getting a puppy (and before getting the pup!), Don is there to answer any questions you may have. He always responds and is always so happy to see their pups going to good homes. Over all, I highly, highly recommend Ohio Dobermans if you're looking for a well rounded family companion or working dog.

If you’re thinking about getting a Doberman from Ohio Dobermans, this is your confirmation to do it! My family and I connected with Don through Instagram when we began our search for a family dog. Upon meeting him, his family, and his lovely dogs we knew that a Doberman was right for us and Ohio Dobermans was going to provide us with a quality dobie to bring home. We had many questions (considering I had never owned a dog before). Don was so knowledgeable and patient. He always answered all of my questions honestly (no matter how silly: like can I dress my dog in a tutu- he brought out a dog dressed in jammies for me to see). Ohio Dobermans mentions how emotionally connected they are to their dogs and that is not just a marketing scheme. My girl is 9 months old and to this day, I am still in touch with Don- asking for advice or sharing milestones. He is still as responsive as the day we met to earn my business. He is still as concerned about my doggies well-being as the day he sent her home. If you’re wondering if his dobies are the real deal… THEY ARE! I performed 2 health panel testings which returned results of a 100% dobie with no traces of poor health genetics. I am so excited to share a long life with my dobie and have been working on convincing my husband to add another. When we’re ready, I will only consider Ohio Dobermans for my next dobie!

Our family could not be more thankful to have found Ohio Dobermans! My husband and I have been talking about getting a doberman for the past eight years, but were waiting for the right time and for when we found the right breeder. Though there are many out there, we believe we found the best of the best in terms of what we were looking for - a breeder that has the right credentials/experience, cares for the dogs/puppies, and breeds dobermans specifically to be wonderful pets. We found all of these things in Ohio Dobermans and so much more. What we came to realize is that Don and his family are kind, so helpful, so passionate and knowledgeable about what they do, and everything we could've ever hoped for in a breeder. Other friends who have bought puppies recently (other breeds/different breeders) have had the opposite experience where once they get home with their puppy, they can't get a hold of the breeder and are pretty much on their own. This is not at all how Don does things. Even my silliest questions have been answered so graciously and promptly and he's gone above and beyond in every single way. One of the things they do is temperament test each puppy to help match them appropriately with each prospective owner. We didn't know how helpful this would be at the time that we first talked with him, but in hindsight we think it's just perfect. We definitely would've picked a puppy based on all the wrong reasons and it wouldn't have been the right fit for our family. But Don knows exactly what to look for in a puppy's personality and temperament and we continue to be amazed at just how perfect our puppy is for us. His personality is exactly what we were hoping for, but would've never known how to pick out. We LOVE our new puppy so much and are so thankful to Ohio Dobermans for all they have done to help us along the way and match us with the newest member of our family. :)

I have had nothing but quality interactions with Don. When I was searching for a breeder, I wanted someone who was not only trust worthy but whom I could turn to down the road if I had questions. Don has been both of these things. He is knowledgeable about the breed and you can tell he and his family truly care about the dogs/ their placements. They work with you to ensure that the pup you get is a great fit for you and your needs. I couldn’t be happier with my experience!

David K.

Don was nothing but helpful during the purchase of our first Doberman. We didn’t know much and had a lot of questions, and Don was always available to help before and after the pickup of our new puppy. Excellent service and a wonderful product came of our experience, and we gained a beautiful family member. Thanks for everything, Ohio Dobermans! We will be back!!

Madelyn N.

These people are amazing ! Communication from the very beginning has been incredible. Always stayed consistent with pictures and updates until the very end. Purchasing our first doberman has been such a great experience with Ohio Dobermans. We are beyond in love with our Fawn baby boy & the wait is so worth it ! The next Doberman pup we get, we know exactly where to go !

Jordan T.

Getting a puppy from Ohio Dobermans was an amazing experience. Don and his family are super easy to talk to and very responsive. He provided us with weekly updates and pictures. We couldn't have asked for a better dog - he's absolutely gorgeous and has the sweetest personality. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for the ideal Doberman

Marissa B.

It took me a while to finally settle with a breeder that I felt comfortable with, Ohio Dobermans. After doing all my research and speaking with Don, and actually visiting them, I decided to go with them. I'm glad that I did, Don is very knowledgeable and very responsive whenever I called or texted him. He is true professional and they care a great deal about what they do and how they conduct their business. Their dogs are excellent and we are very happy to get our red female Doberman puppy from them.

Gurjit G.

Our experience was fantastic. We would highly recommend Ohio Doberman's! Don is extremely knowledgeable of the breed. And he genuinely cares about each and every one of the puppies that are adopted. He kept us frequently updated, from start to finish, answering any questions and concerns. It was a joy to work with him.

Melissa W.

My experience with Ohio dobermans has been fantastic! If you’re looking to own a Doberman then look no further because not only does Ohio dobermans have the best looking dobermans you’ll find but also because they are easy to communicate with and more than willing to answer any questions you may have, even if it’s 8 years later. On top of that, they’re easy to communicate with and have my the process of owning my first Doberman very enjoyable. When I get a 2nd Doberman I’ll surely be returning to Ohio dobermans!

Timothy S.

Honestly there are not enough people in this world like Don, Christina, Nancy and Ron!! They have been very responsive to all our questions before, during and after the acquisition of our Doberman. It’s obvious they are responsible breeders that care deeply for each of their dogs/puppies and spend a tremendous amount of time with them as well as investing in promoting the best of the breed for health, temperament and confirmation. Our beautiful girl is happy, healthy and a wonderful addition to our family!! We are thankful to Ohio Dobermans for her!

Heidi W.

Don/Ohio Dobermans have been professional and easy to work with since the first conversation we had. My husband and I have looked for a Doberman breeder for a while and interviewed a few. Everything felt right about working with Ohio Dobermans. Don took so much time answering our questions and listening to what we were looking for. They were extremely responsive to every call, text and message we sent. They step by step walked us through the process and helped us choose the perfect new addition to our family. We started working with them in March and finally got to bring our new little (for now) man home last weekend. We have had a couple additional questions for Don and he has been on top of answering us. It is true when they say welcome to the Ohio Doberman Family! I am so excited to watch our guy Rogue grow. I would recommend anyone looking for a Doberman to work with Ohio Dobermans!
