Life of a Puppy at Ohio Dobermans

As part of our commitment to excellence, here is a small peek into the life of an Ohio Dobermans puppy:

Puppies are born in a private family home surrounded by loving and highly qualified humans to attend to the birthing process.

Starting at a few days old, pups are gently introduced to a variety of stimuli to increase their overall adaptability to the environment.

At a few weeks old, they begin the weaning process by receiving soft puppy food directly from the hands of humans. This strengthens their relationship with humans and introduces them to the concept of food luring (eventually used for training).

At 7 weeks old, pups are evaluated by a 3rd party for behavioral characteristics through a series of unique stimuli. We recommend the homes for each puppy based primarily on the results of this test.

7-9 weeks old puppies are taken to the best ear crop vet in the USA (Dr Anne Midgarden) for their standard length crop.

At 8 weeks old (or after), your pup will be ready to come home with:
• Ear crop
• Microchip
• Tail docked
• Vet checked
• AKC Registration
• Health Guarantee
• Dew claws removed
• DNA results for both parents
• Up to date vaccines & deworming
• Lifetime telephone support
