JUST SOME OF THE LOVELY COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK WE HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE YEARS:

A warm welcome to all the lovely families that have opened their homes and their hearts to adopt one of our beautiful furbabys.

We would especially like to thank each and everyone of you,
because you did not just accept the unsubstantiated and vile lies that were falsely levelled against us,
but used common sense and made your own determination, and for that we would like to thank you.

Nate Bartlett Franchisee Harvey Norman Wangaratta, Victoria

Storm was of course DNA verified as a Natural Born Bobtail Dobermann & was also confirmed vWD non-affected & DCM clear by DNA.

This is how Storm looked only days before he left our care, compared to the sad photo provided by Nate Bartlett, after Storm was in his care.

I can see you mummy.

Paul Hetherington’s comment in reference to a photo of “Dior”, one of our previous Natural Born Bobtail Dobermann pups.

The photo was of a Doberman pup in prime condition large frame with a huge carriage and stance. A very short bobtail about 1.5 to 2 inches. This pup was beautiful and strong in stance, I admire the photographers to get such a young puppy to stand so still and in perfect form.” 23/06/2016

As described by K9 Behaviour Specialist Paul Hetherington of IN2K9:-

Dior was of course DNA verified as a Natural Born Bobtail Dobermann & was also confirmed vWD non-affected & DCM clear by DNA.

Ranger is amazing, everyone who meets him is in awe of his beautiful nature and how well bred he is.30/09/2019


Ranger went in on Monday for his appointment and the Veterinarian had previously owned Dobermans, she was in awe of how well bred he was and said that he must have come from a very solid bloodline, and that his feet were huge HAHA. He was extremely well behaved11/09/2019


Ranger is awesome! We all love him so much and I am in awe of his looks and temperament, and he has obviously be raised in a loving and caring environment.26/08/2019

Oh my heart!!! Is that one of Tiaha’s nieces? She is absolutely gorgeous! … We (and Tiaha) started training last week and she loves it – as do we!!
She is so clever and definitely still very quirky!!! Still have a long way to go with her but it’s a lot of fun. I miss Tiaha so much when I am at work – sad, I know!!

No need to tell me, I know I’m cute! Just like my Aunty Tiaha.

Hi Karin and Bert, I have attached a pic of Tiaha on the eve of her first birthday! She has been doing so well, meeting lots of new people and going for long walks….

Tiaha is so cheeky, hilarious and uncoordinated. She makes us laugh so much!! She loves her toys and loves to demolish them!! We just love being with her.

At home with the perfect family

08/06/2020


Hi Karin and Bert,

Wanted to give you an update on Tiaha – we are so proud of her and how well she has become part of our family!! She has a new doggy friend (Shakira, the Rottweiler) and has been on a few play dates and walks with her – she still doesn’t love the lead!!
Tiaha has visited our local produce store and met new people and she did so well!!! She loves to run and play with her toys (very spoilt girl) and then come for cuddles… she gets along so well with our friends probably because she gets spoilt rotten!!! She has the most beautiful nature and temperament – you should be very happy with the puppy you have raised.
04/05/2021

Tiaha is such a good girl. She has been in the yard without the lead for the last two days and been so very good – staying near us and not venturing far at all.

She met some new people last night and within 20 minutes was quite relaxed and with an hour was giving bops with her nose! She attended Dawn Service at the end of our drive way and was so well behaved. She met more people.

We have started some basic training with her and she is so smart!!“Thank you again – we are so lucky that she has settled so well and we just love her to bits.

M****** and Tiaha had a little nana nap on the way and have bonded very well….. “Thank you for trusting us with her- she is gorgeous!23/04/2020

First off, I would like to thank you. The pup is gorgeous … got her home, she is safe just getting used to everything, smelling everything and very curious,
have given her some food and access to water, have had a bit of play and just chewing on a few different toys, just about getting ready for bed.

She seems to have gotten used to the crate quite quickly, just sat with her infront of it, Have a blanket with mine and her smell on it from the car trip home. Haven’t gone to the toilet yet, when I took her outside a couple times all she wanted to do was play. … Has seemed to settled in quite nicely, she is sleeping now as I am writing to you

Hi Bert,
In September 2020, I purchased one of your beautiful little pups – Lady Tayla, now known as Zelda.
She’s over 2 years old now, and still one of the sweetest and happiest dogs I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning.
I’m emailing to let you know she’s also quite the action dog! Earlier this year she participated in a trail run – 11km and she could have gone a second lap (which we might do next year).
And last weekend we attended a lure coursing event for the first time. Zelda received first place in her group, and the highest score of the day – 178/200 for her two runs.
I’ve attached a video of her first run – she loves the chase, and was even faster on her second run later in the day.

Thank you again for breeding such physically and socially beautiful dogs – Zel is perfect, and the sole reason I barely contain myself from getting another pup
(which I see you have available – I must walk away!!). 😁”

Zelda attending her first lure coursing event. Congratulations on getting First Place in her group and highest score of the day.

16/09/2022


I’m just emailing to send you an update on Zelda – formerly known as Lady Tayla. She’s settled in to my home very well, and enjoys playing with her toys and harrassing my 7-year-old Greyhound for as much of the day as possible. She still enjoys some cuddles, especially at the end of a long day, and I’m making the most of it before she’s too big to hang on to.
Zelda is also very clever – she already walks well on a lead and knows a few commands. Unfortunately, everything she knows goes out the window when she sees a magpie and she just wants to chase them.
Thank you for breeding and raising a Doberman with such a healthy little body and beautiful temperament, I’m so glad I was able to snag the last puppy of the litter.

He is settling in well at the moment.
Not into dry food much, but I keep offering and he has a few.
Chicken he loves and puppy milk.
I took a great photo today of him playing with a toy duck 3 times his size 😂
I’ll send it when I get it off my camera.
He has been meeting new people, is really solid with noises even the vacuum cleaner he is not worried about.

Looking like he has always lived there.

You have bred a lovely, intelligent,  independent boy.
That already sits and fetches a ball.
Porter is not happy about the rest times though, hahahahaha

Peppa just loves the beach


Pep has fast become our best friend. We couldn’t imagine life without her! She’s growing up fast – she was almost 22kg when I weighed her 2 wks ago. She’s very beautiful, people comment all the time on how shiny she is. She does really well, learns quickly. She tries hard to please. She loves her soft squeaky toys and hasn’t chewed any of them. She loves my parents Australian shepherd and has some play mates from puppy preschool that we play with on weekends at the beach. The beach is her favourite place, we go walking there every day. She likes to dig holes in the sand.

She’s settling in really well and has added a lot of fun and love to our lives. She’s growing and learning quickly and will start puppy pre school early next month after her final vaccination. It turns out that she is a great swimmer!

Thought we would send a few pics from her first afternoon with us. She’s fast asleep at the moment – it’s been a big day for a little pup!

“I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for my beautiful loving boy Max….. he is my Shadow, my best friend by my side day & night …

he can’t wait till (my husband) gets home often waiting for him at the back door at the same time daily. Then follows him everywhere the minute he walks in the door.

He also adores my Son who has been here since Christmas. He often sleeps on his bed & they have their rough & tumble fun times together.
He is also great with his mates that come over & sometimes amazes us with how good he is with strangers ( you raised him well )

He sleeps in the lounge on his big comfy bed at night & also when he has his naps during the day. He is also happy to be outside during the day and never whines or winges.

He is so smart as it only took me one day to train him to sit & stay and wait for me to walk into the house first before giving him the command to enter ( only because I was scared he would bang into the glass sliding door he was so eager to run in ) Also taught him to let me walk up and down the stairs before him 

He makes me laugh as he stands by my side with his muzzle at my hip as I prepare his dinner …. he loves his food lol

He just loves running around in a huge paddock that we have secured for him he runs like crazy & is a joy to watch. He is so good with the sheep & cows as he zoooooms past them at incredible speed…..although they are trying to work out who Mad Max is, as we sometimes call him.

He is our big baby and makes us all laugh with his quirky personality.
At the beginning we couldn’t understand why he would turn around and lift his leg as though wanting to sit on us… we soon realized he loves a good scratch on his bottom lol
And boy does he become hypnotized when I give him a massage or groom him with a rubber brush.

Oh and he just loves the dog beach. He was a bit weary of the waves at first but soon forget all about them whilst chasing & playing with other dogs.

I just wanted you to know that you made the right choice in choosing us…..and that Max is very happy, healthy, spoilt and dearly loved here with us, now and forever. ( I knew he was ment for me the minute I saw him & couldn’t believe I was lucky enough to get him ) he has given us all so much joy!!!! Thank you 🙏”

“Hi Bert,

I’m already in love with Max ♥️

He is adorable & so affectionate. I’m so happy with him & he has a face to love forever.

I was surprised how instantly we bonded, I knew he was ment for me the moment I first saw your add 🙏

It’s now evening & I have been trying to send you this email but he has just settled down an hour ago now…. loves his new bed & it’s big enough for us both to lie on so we did & he fell asleep on me.

My husband walked in after work & Max was already instinctively protective of me… it took a good half hour to slowly introduce them & I suggested that hubby feed him tonight, then they were fine & hubby is also very fond of him.”

Bella has settled in nicely and is such a delight. She is eating and sleeping well and is so affectionate.

She cuddles up to us all and is getting plenty of attention from the whole family.
She is already going to do her business outside and as you know is very smart.

Today she grabbed her blanket out of the crate and positioned it to a warm sunny spot on the deck where she lied on top of for a nap!

She has slotted into our family nicely and is a welcomed addition. 
I’m now under pressure from the wife and children to get one for our very own exactly the same as Bella I’ve been told!

Dexter is settling in really well. He’s already learnt his name and “sit” and he’s making good progress on “stay” as well! He’s a smart boy!

28/07/2021


Just letting you know that Dexter was such a good boy yesterday on the trip home. He and I quickly formed a bond on the drive home and he’s settled in so well. He was so well behaved in his crate last night. I got up every 3 hours and he peed in the back year within 5 – 10 seconds of me taking him out and he was quick to go back to sleep as well!

His temperament is so wonderful and he’s starting to take a liking to some of his toys too. He’s had no problem eating and drinking water and he’s peeing and pooping fine which is excellent. It’s crazy how quickly he’s settled into his new home!
