So we are about to have pups! This is the last litter between Mars and Tikka. If anyone wanted a great pup from this awesome pairing, this is the last chance. I have started advertising and anyone that has messaged me in the past showing interest, will have first choice before i start accepting holding fees from others.

That puppy time is almost here!

When i was deciding to import a doberman from Europe, people warned me. Be careful, they are so high strung, aggressive, not trust able, don't make good house dogs. Well i did import one anyways. And here he is, all calm, relaxed, not only my best friend but Tikka;s also! Mr Goofball, aka Mars, aka, Santa Dream Brainstorm!!

Hey folks, just a reminder to the parents of the 2023 litter. All pups must be spayed/neutered between June 15 and August 15 2024. Please get your vet appointments set up. Also, how about showing your baby off here?

05/08/2024

Focus on your training program, your dogs, and enjoy the journey with them. You will only get these moments once.

Mars and Tikka

05/02/2024

What do you get when you pull on a tug, bite a sleeve and do obedience for 70 minutes? One exhausted boy! He is dead to the world. lol ( Apparently i forgot to post the photo. Maybe i need a nap)

Well after 2 weeks, Mars and Tikka are finally over their round of kennel cough. looks like Mars caught at the dog show and then came home and gave it to Tikka. Both are done coughing and feeling so much better!

04/18/2024

Tikka and Mars say Happy National Doberman Day!! better late than never!

04/01/2024

A bad photo from yesterday's dog show. Mars placed third out of three. At least he was not kicked out for bad behavior. lol Oh well, he is still our champion!. We will decide if we will continue to proceed or not. Thank you Mary Menchynska for your continued hard work with Mars and to my sister Joanne Marchand for not only coming to support Mars but also borrowing us her vehicle when mine acted up Saturday so we could make the show. And to my good friend and fellow doberman lover Alex Koenig and family for not only coming out yesterday but for their support in my journey with Old Country Kennels dobermans.

More from the show today!

So those that really know me, know that this is one event i am not a big fan of. Dog shows. But after Mars being in Canada for 4 years, and not performing in a show since late 2019 in Russia, i decided to enter him. A big thank you to Mary Menchynska for not only handling him but for all the hard work she has done in preparing him for this day. Great job Mary Menchynska!!! Mars did take a Reserve Winner. Is it the start of a rebirth to his show career? Maybe.

Looking as handsome as ever!

What a great Saturday. Mars and Tikka both met with the board certified cardiologist from Edmonton. Again, both passed with no signs of any heart issues!! Hope to gt their 24 hour holter test done in the next month so they will have the advanced cardiology certification. Also had a discussion with the cardiologist regarding DCM in dobermans. And a awesome chat regarding the feeding of dobermans, what to look for in food,what to avoid and the brands that in her opinion and mine that are good to feed. Here are the test results for both of my crew. Way to go Mars and Tikka!!

A quick reminder to everyone that has a pup from this years litter, the Q litter, it is time that they get their rabies shots. Also get their weights checked and let me know how they are doing. Get er done!

10/30/2023

Apparently it is rest time. It is a tough job being in heat and guarding the house. And Mars, his toughest job is to leave Tikka alone at this time!

10/17/2023

People message me asking questions about the pup. I answer all questions, discuss price, all is good and they want to move forward. They are told they still must fill out a puppy application. Sure, they will fill it out. Then they ghost you. Your communication with me or lack of communication helps me decide if you qualify for a pup. My concern for the crew does not end when they go to new homes. it actually intensifies. If you can't answer simple questions in a timely fashion, can't respond to messages now, what will it be like when you have my pup? The reason i have pups later than other people, because i give a s**t where they go and who they go with. I know when i breed the bitch, that i may be keeping a whole litter here, but they will not just go to the first person with a handful of money! These people that refuse to answer questions, refuse to fill out the puppy application, ghost me and many other things, is the biggest reason for me wanting to retire. The older i get, the more i despise people and love my dogs!!

10/17/2023

I don't get it. People see my ad that i am looking for a guardian home for one of the pups. They contact me. They think they would make a great home for the pup. They will do so much with the pup, everyone is on board in the family. They think they are going to get a free pup. NOT. I discuss the price and the terms of the placement and they say OK. We will get back to you, i have to discuss it with the family if they want a pup at this time. What? You said everyone is on board. Ah, but now it is not a free dog. That is the issue.

10/08/2023

Quincy is still looking for a home. We have decided that we would consider a guardian home with the right family. Feel free to pm if you think you may want to be his guardian home .
