Doberman Pincher Breeders Q&A
Getting a New Dog?
My family's Doberman pincher of 13 yrs, Roxie, recently passed away about a month ago from old age. At the time, my parents understandably did not wish to get a new dog because of the grief from losing Roxie.
Thankfully, my parents have come around and are now looking for a Doberman breeder. We first tried to contact Roxie's breeder, Sylvia Wiedau, but had no luck in contacting her. So, now my parents are looking into other Doberman breeders.
I believe that we should get a Doberman from a rescue center, but my parents, mainly my Dad, does not wish to because the full background of the rescue dog is not known. Is there anyway to find out the rescue dog's genetic history to find out similar information a breeder would have on their dogs?
Basically, my Dad's afraid of getting a rescue dog that will have a bunch of health and temperament problems. He doesn't want to go through that. Could a genetics test shine some light on the dog's potential health problems?
I have a Doberman from my rescue that has absolutely no temperament issues and is easily the easiest and most well behaved dog I have ever owned!

I have done Doberman rescue for years and I can tell you that 90% of the dogs that come into rescue are there because of the owners, not the dogs. We get them because people bought puppies and didn't realize that they'd get so big, or because they have a baby and don't have time for a dog anymore, etc.
If you find a good rescue center that thoroughly evaluates the dogs, you actually have a better chance of getting exactly what you want because you see them as adults. You see their energy level as an adult, how they interact with other animals and strangers, etc.
I highly recommend rescue dogs as long as you make sure to go through a reputable rescue that makes sure they evaluate each dog as well as possible. No rescue can track genetic history, but all good rescues evaluate a dog and tell you just what you are getting. That's just as good as knowing genetics.
As for health issues, even a well bred dog that you get from a great breeder is not guaranteed not to have health issues. You take that chance either way.
If you are worried, you can always have a vet medically evaluate a dog you are interested in adopting. They can't rule out everything, but they could give you an idea.
