Due to the high demand for Dobermans raised in a family environment, the Garretts began searching for other breeders that raised their pups in a family setting, especially those with children. This search began in 2006 and has honestly been more challenging than expected.
We have worked with several breeders. Above all, the Watsons (family members) have displayed a truly superior work ethic. At this time, the Garretts and the Watsons are the only suppliers on this site. Our primary concern is that pups have received plenty of love and will be ready to be a solid part of your family and provide protection.
Pups handled outside of the Garretts home are raised with mom for 7 weeks. When the pups are 7 to 8 weeks old, placement of the pups begins. If an owner lives close enough to the litter's home site, then the owner may directly pick the pup up.
The Garretts own Scarlett (retired) as well as Sable and Ella. The Garretts' first Doberman family member, Aggie, passed away July 2010. She is dearly missed. The site and our breeding practices all began with Aggie. Her wonderful nature with our children inspired us to educate people on Dobermans as well as produce awesome four legged family members. We hope you learn from the site and what owners share within it.
The Watsons own Pyro (Scarlett's son), Ellie, and Violet (Sable's daughter). Pyro sired the litters out of Ellie (3 litters) and Aires (1 litter).
Note: Because we have worked with several other breeders in the past, you will bump into many while exploring the vast number of pages within this site.

The Garretts had to say good-bye to their beloved friend, Aggie, in July 2010. Aggie was our first Doberman. She taught us what a wonderful breed Dobermans are and is the reason for this site. From Aggie's final litter before retiring to pet status, we kept Scarlett. Scarlett is now retired. Scarlett's last litter was born in January of 2009. From that litter, we kept a pup, Sable. Sable had her first litter December 20, 2010. Sable is red and rust.
Additionally, we obtained a pup from Ellie/Pyro's litter born July 26, 2009 -- Ella. This pup is Scarlett's granddaughter. Ella is blue/rust; first litter was born July 3, 2011.
We encourage you to spend some time on this site. More specifically, spend time reading letters sent in from owners of pups from our previous litters. The temperaments of our Dobermans are exceptional. We spend a lot of time handling them as pups and they get lot of exposure to children.

"Hello,
Look at these Girls! Faith and Violet in March. I wanted to again express how grateful we are to you for raising such a true to standard breed of dog. Sounds silly but you actually have changed my life. I never thought I would own a dog like this .
Well, please put us on a waiting list for your next litter. We would never consider going anywhere else. Our family does not overlook all the little extras you do with your pups to make them so special. Thanks! Tara " -- sent April 12, 2006

From a fellow breeder - "I am like Rhonda (another breeder), you have the best looking pups I have ever seen. I hope my pups get that pretty. The web site looks great! Pat"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL NOTICE: We do not claim to have show quality Dobermans.

Our focus lies primarily in providing a dog that is completely trustworthy around young children .. while still maintaining the protector instinct.
No other claims are made by us regarding our Dobermans. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- d914a1f7f3a8eaeed7185493af455b83
