Welcome to
Stellar Dobermans
Our top two priorities at Stellar Dobermans are temperament and health. Our puppies become loved family members. Stellar Doberman puppies are raised in our home and handled all day and night, spend time with young children, and are raised with small dogs. We have webcams that we allow buyers access to so they can log in, and watch their puppies any time they want, day or night. We even hire puppy nannies to help in the nursery. Our dogs are bred to follow the standard of the FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale) the largest canine organization in the world. Our Dobermans are true 100% European, this means there are no American bloodlines. It is important to us to raise gentle, loving, family dogs. We take great pride in our puppies' temperaments and care which is why we spend the time to socialize and expose the puppies to everything they will see in their new home. This includes adding enrichment toys to satisfy their appetite to learn and ensures the transition from our home to yours will be smooth.
Puppies will have limited AKC registration, cropped ears, tails docked, dewclaws removed, microchips, up to date worming and vaccinations by a licensed veterinarian, and a two-year health guarantee. Puppies will also go home with Pro Plan Puppy kits as well as a Trupanion Pet insurance home kit.

Is a Doberman right for my family?
Dobermans are perfect family dogs; most of our puppies live in homes with small children. Dobermans, however, have special needs and require mental stimulation and exercise. As a working breed, Dobermans need meaningful and challenging work.
The Differences between Dobermans bred to the European and American Standards
Stellar puppies will be registered with AKC, however, were bred to continue the European standards according to the FCI. Starting August 1st, 2016 the European FCI changed breed standards for the Doberman. They will no longer allow cropped ears, or docked tails. Here at Stellar Dobermans, we will continue to dock tails and crop ears as we feel this makes a Doberman appear to be the regal breed that they are. The doberman breed is undeniably superior (that doesn't sound bias does it?). We love ALL Dobermans (American and European) and do not believe one to be better than the other. Some people have their preferences, and we prefer European Dobermans for our family.
Our bloodlines will assure there will be no dilutes. Absolutely no "blues" or "fawns." These are an American creation caused from a dilution in the bloodlines. AKC recognizes blues and fawns, but they are not recognized by the FCI.
Please note: We do not condone or support the breeding of the "white" or albino Doberman as it is a genetic mutation

Payment
Due to price increases with vet services and health testing, we have had to increase our prices effective January 1, 2020.
Our puppies sell for $3,500.00 with limited registration. This price includes:
750.00 non-refundable deposit which is due at the time the puppies are born.
Ear Cropping by one of the top specialists in the country, all wound care necessary for 10 days post op, suture removal and posting instructions at the time the puppy goes home plus 24/7 on call for any questions or problems that may arise.
all age appropriate vaccinations, deworming, microchip, and paperwork with transfer fees.
Camera access to check in on the puppies whenever you like
24/7 Stellar family access! These babies are everything to us so your success is our success. When you buy a Stellar puppy, you become a lifetime member of our Stellar family.
I understand our puppies are expensive, and yes, you will find a puppy much cheaper, however, like most things in life, you get what you pay for. Our puppies are raised in our house, they are handled literally all day long (they even sit on the couch with us and watch movies), and are on camera 24/7. We are with them 24/7 and we have a puppy nanny with them as well. Our puppies will be large dogs that deserve and receive a responsible and loving upbringing as well as selective breeding based on temperament, beauty, health, and intelligence. Many breeders charge the same amount or more and raise their puppies in poorly kept outdoor kennels and are not well socialized. (Note- Always visit the facility!)
Payment is accepted in cash, cashier's check, or PayPal. PayPal allows you to securely pay using your credit card or bank account. It is free to open accounts; however, PayPal requires a 3% service fee per transaction for businesses which I request you cover if you prefer to pay this way. We will include a PayPal link when a new litter is born.

Shipping
Puppies may be flown with care and only with a certificate of good health from a veterinarian that we will provide when they are at least 8 weeks old, in compliance with airline requirements. Please contact us about further information.
Ear Cropping
The puppies will get ears cropped at 8 weeks old by one of the top veterinarians in this specialty. Unfortunately, this is a dying art and one that distinguishes the breed. We apologize in advance, but Stellar Dobermans will not sell puppies with natural ears. There are many reasons for this; Dobermans are a regal breed, the ears are a historic trademark of this breed. If a Doberman is ever to be re-homed, it is very difficult to find a a new owner that prefers natural ears.
Starting August 1st, 2016 the European FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale) will no longer allow cropping, or docking of Dobermans. We at Stellar Dobermans stand with our fellow European breeders and agree this was a bad decision and will continue to crop and dock this breed as AKC standard dictates.
Contract
Contracts must be signed by both parties before the puppy may leave Stellar Dobermans and will be printed here at Stellar Dobermans.
