On this date in 1989, “The Simpsons” premiered as a Christmas special. It began running as a regular half-hour show in January 1990. In the show, Mr. Burns keeps multiple purebred Dobermans, and simply pushes a button in his office to release them on trespassers and people who irritate him. Mr. Burns mostly releases them on his low-level employees from the Power Plant, including Homer Simpson.

Fun Fact: Mr. Burns has a picture of Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann in the Hounds’ Quarters at his manor. All of Burns’ dogs are said to be descended from the first litter bred by Dobermann. -copied and shared

(Not our dog). We do not offer this type of bone due to the potential for this to occur. A long bone is best and even then you should always monitor for any small pieces that may break before the ingesting it.

Let’s get one thing straight:
We NEED ethical dog breeders.
Not backyard breeders.
Not puppy mills.
Not “oops litters.”
Ethical. Responsible. Passionate. Breeders.

Because the truth is this:

Good breeders don’t just produce puppies — they protect entire breeds.
They’re the reason we still have healthy working dogs, therapy dogs, sport dogs, and family companions with predictable temperaments and solid genetics.

Good breeders raise puppies like they’re staying forever.
Socialization, early exposure, enrichment, confidence-building…
None of that is “extra.” It’s STANDARD.

Good breeders take dogs back or help place them, every time.
For life.
No questions. No judgment.
Because their puppies NEVER end up in shelters, ever.

Good breeders breed for preservation, for improvement, and for LOVE.

And here’s the part people don’t want to admit:
Without ethical breeders, we’d lose the breeds we depend on and adore.
Service dog lines.
Duty-driven working breeds.
Family-safe temperaments.
Sound structure.
Predictability.
Purpose.
History.

Shelters are full because of irresponsible breeding —
not ethical breeding.

So next time someone says,
“Just adopt,”
remind them:
You can support shelters
AND still value ethical breeders.

Both matter.
Both play crucial roles.
Both are needed.
Because the breeders doing it right?
They’re the ones keeping dogs healthy, stable, and loved for generations to come.

This is why we have our dogs thyroids tested and clear results and results available on OFA. We also fully embark dna test for all possible health issues and only breed dogs that are clear of genetics disorders.

Hypothyroidism is one of the more common endocrine disorders seen in Dobermans, and it can be easy for owners to overlook because the early signs often appear gradually. The condition occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones to support normal metabolism. In Dobermans, this can lead to changes in energy level, behavior, coat quality, and overall health.

Many dogs are first diagnosed when owners notice their dog is slowing down, gaining weight without eating more, or becoming less tolerant of exercise. Skin and coat changes are among the most recognizable signs. Dobermans with hypothyroidism may develop a dull or thinning coat, flaky skin, hair loss along the trunk or tail, or chronic ear and skin infections. Some dogs also experience increased sensitivity to cold, mood changes, or recurring digestive issues. Because these symptoms can mimic other health problems, a proper veterinary exam and bloodwork are essential for an accurate diagnosis.

The good news is that hypothyroidism is highly manageable. With daily medication and routine monitoring, most Dobermans return to normal activity levels and regain a healthy coat. Early detection makes a significant difference, so owners who notice changes in their dog’s weight, coat, or behavior should talk to their veterinarian about testing.

Good basic guideline. However we strongly believe that they need the opportunity to run daily or if you can go play ball daily so they can run or even ride a bike while they trot beside you. If they have the opportunity to get that burst of energy out daily they will be happy to come in and plop out on the couch.
