Our Dogs
Dobermans who live in our home
Jesaran's Fusion, CGC FITB "Nova"
Nova joined our family as our next show/breeding/competition dog from breeder Kathy Davieds DVM (Jesaran Dobermans). Nova is a show/working line cross (sire is from Vom Koby Haus) with excellent health and longevity in her pedigree and from completely different lines from Tesla and Rip. Nova is a great watchdog, and has the deepest bark of any female doberman we have met! We have done training for obedience and tracking with her as well as a "fit dog" course, and are currently working towards the AKC Novice level obedience title while we wait for her to mature physically.
DOB: November 10th, 2022
Color Genotype: BBDD (will only produce black puppies; no red, fawn or blue)

CH Shadeko's Rainbow Lightning CD RN CA BCAT CGC TKA ROM "Tesla"
We chose Tesla as a family companion and for Kaydin to try junior showmanship, rally and agility. Tesla is a fun loving but intense dog, and is devoted to her family. She loves to go to work with us but is also happy to relax in the house with us. Tesla completed her Rally Novice title handled by Kaydin, who was 10 years old at the time, when Tesla was less than 2 years old. Kaydin and Tesla continued to train for higher levels of Rally, novice agility, and Canine Freestyle as part of the 4-H and AKC juniors programs until Fall 2019, just before Tesla had her second litter. For more info on Tesla's titles/accomplishments, see the "Photos" page.

CH LoyalBlitz's Carolina Reaper RN CGC TKN WAC "RIP"
We chose RIP out of Tesla's first litter (Uno x Tesla) for his conformation and personality, since Kaydin wanted to continue working dogs in obedience and other dog sports. He is a very happy dog, and an affectionate family dog. He also loves the show ring, and took a 4 point major win at the age of 7.5 months at his first weekend of showing, and finished his AKC championship with two 3 point major wins at just under a year of age. Kaydin also got the CGC and RN titles on him before he turned a year old (and she was only 13), and later got his Trick Dog Novice title. As of December 2020, he had 17 points towards his grand championship, earned in only a few weekends of showing. Rip achieved the Working Aptitude Certificate (WAC) on 27 Nov 2021. He has also achieved one "leg" towards the AKC Novice obedience (CD) title.
