Has any one had dealings with ACarrig Dobes? This is a breeder local to me and looking at purchasing a puppy from them. Any info about the breeder or litters in the past would be great. Here is the website http://www.freewebs.com/acarrigdobermans/
Adam, what are your goals for the dog? Pet, show, working? That breeder has showline dogs so if you are looking for a working prospect I would not consider them.
I see health testing referred to in terms of their vet, but on the site and for particular dogs I see no health testing listed. I see no pedigrees, these would be red flags to me. Not enough information to go on. A UKC conformation championship does not mean much. Kinda Looks like a BYB to me.
If you go to the individual dogs' pages and scroll down, they do list some of the health testing results. A check of their recent breeding showed that the sire/dam had OFA records. However, my concern is that the breeder discusses how she trains in agility, tracking, obedience, and even gives lessons to the public (and helped with the local K9 teams) but none of the dogs on her website show titles. Granted some of them are pretty young but I would still have liked to have seen some performance titles on the sire/dam of the litter that she co-bred.
FWIW, I would probably go elsewhere for a doberman, particularly if I was looking for a performance prospect. Contact the DPCA for their breeder referral. If you are looking for a working (protection sport etc) prospect, I would check with the AWDF affiliated dobe club for breeder referral as a starting point.
