Preserving and Improving the lineage of Doberman Pinschers without discriminating the beauty of muta
It's an honor to help the breed. We're already participating in (Doberman Diversity Project); this will be the next milestone!
After all, this is what we aimed for: To bring something good to the table and better the breed.
Just FYI, our Parmesan might have been the first Recessive Red that's pure 100% doberman genetically tested, carrying no gene-related diseases.
Yesterday, we got a distressing call from someone who b*ought one of our puppies from our last litter. He called us to know that GrayBoy has died last week Thursday. He said that the cause of death is "enlargement of heart" and that the attending physician said "it's probably inborn".
This puts us into great worry automatically, because if the pup died this early due to heart problems, then we have bigger problems with the parents, of which the Sire was ours, and eventually a problem in our doberman line.
The Dam is still in our care, and the last time we see the onset of DCM symptoms of Lexie was AFTER she gave birth. Therefore hearing this bad news puts us in the assumption that both parents are positive of DCM.
And as you know, we're all about bettering the breed and what happened to GrayBoy, if any of it is true, is going to affect us and our reputation.
Because of this, I tried to investigate further according to the information his so-called owner told me so. Thankfully I knew a Vet friend who happens to work in Animal Hospital Lanang just recently - the hospital where the owner brought the dog for treatment. I reached out to her and asked about this matter.
There we found out he did NOT died due to heart problems. Even though the cause of death is cardiac arrest, it was not because his heart was enlarged. In fact, the Vet told us that they never xray-ed the dog therefore they won't know if the heart was enlarged. And the reason why they did not xray-ed the dog is because they already made the tests and confirmed diagnosis.
GrayBoy died of cardiac arrest due to severe Parvo and Giardia infection. Turns out, the so-called owner did not finished his last vaccination. Our Vet friend also said that the dog was really suffering.
It is very hard on our part to accept this. We brought these dogs into this world, sacrificed for them, cared for them and do all the necessary preventions in timely manner so they won't get sick, only to be given to someone who will neglect them and their basic needs.
In a way, we apologize deeply for our shortcoming. We use to issue puppy contract and release form for the protection of our dogs; we use to screen the buyers and ask for their identification, but lately we've been slack due to the pressure of time and the need to rehome them (because we don't really own this litter entirely).
We should've known better. We should've followed our gut instinct at that time.
But then again, we're somewhat relieved that GrayBoy died early and not from enlarged heart. At least by now he is not suffering and in pain, and he don't have to endure more neglect from his owner.
Our only regret is that we weren't there for him on his last days - the people who really cared for him weren't there for his last days to give assurance on how much he is loved.
Because of this incident, we are closing our breeding program. We can't keep breaking our heart like this.
Here in Philippines, it's so hard to find responsible owners. There may be some who are genuine on taking care and loving their dogs, but they are not well-educated and well-informed on how to take care of their animals properly.
If there'll ever come a time we have to breed again, we will be more careful and stringent on choosing the prospective buyers.
Every time we rehome a puppy, we are giving away a part of us - a part of our heart and our legacy.
, GrayBoy. If you want, run back here in your home where you truly belongs.

Yes, we did SPEND for the ads for our pups. And yes, wla nga kayong paki-alam kung nag-ads kami.
Pero FYI sa mga tao jan na nagagalit kasi pina-followup ko sa PM, it's because NAGBABAYAD po kami sa ads. Yung average cost per message is 15 pesos, and 45 pesos per average call nyo sa number namin. Sabihin nyo "ang liit naman nyan tapos nagagalit ka"... eh try mo kaya i-multiply yan sa 104 ka tao na mag-memessage, tapos yan lahat katulad mo na hindi serioso bumili -- na-cu-cutan lang or what we call you as "tirekickers".
More than 4,000 pesos napo gastos namin sa ads, konting respeto naman kasi pera po namin ginagamit.
Merong malaking "Message only if you're SERIOUS" na sign sa ads namin. Kung wlang kayong budget, eh hindi kayo serioso. Eh ang mura-mura na ng 15,000 for a doberman puppy. At hindi po kami magsasayang ng pera para sa ads, if you think na ibebenta lang namin ng 2k or 5k or 8k.
Completo po at on-time ang vaccine nyan, may signature from licensed Vets, ina-alagaan ng maayos -- HINDI po kami na-cu-cut ng corners -- limang araw WALANG TULOG, araw-araw NAGSASAKRIPISYO. To be honest, yang 15k na halaga, KULANG pa yan sa gastos, pagod at puyat. Yung parents, pinapa-DNA test namin yan (13,000 pesos each dog) so that we can select the right dogs para hindi sakitin yung puppies na binebenta namin. Ino-offer pa nga namin, FREE yung delivery.
Pag ibang breed, gumagastos kayo hanggang 20k ok lang, hindi pa tumatawad, tapos babaratin mo kaming mga Doberman breeders?
Tapos kayo pa tong may ganang magalit, kesho feeling nyo pinipilit namin sa inyo na bilhin yung mga tuta namin???
Ang sa amin lang:
Yung message button sa ads namin para lang yan sa mga serioso'ng bumibili.
Kung di mo pa gets:
Kung wala kang budget at hindi ka serioso, wag kayong mag message sa ads namin, dahil binabayaran namin yan.
Tapos, ni-re-reason out nyo na ilagay yung price at location -- ang LAKI po ng CELL NUMBER namin jan sa ads. Kung serioso kayo, like nung isang bumili ng GrayBoy namin, you will go the extend of calling us; TUMAWAG talaga sya at sya pa kumuha ng puppy kahit nasa Davao sya... YAN ANG TOTOONG SERIOSO!
Tapos kayo pa tong may ganang ma-offend??? LUH, MAHIYA NAMAN KAYO...
Ewan ko ba, pwde naman mag comment kayo sa ads, or mag message kayo directly sa page namin, same lang din naman yan resulta nyan at wala kaming babayaran.
Sabagay hindi nyo naman siguro alam na nagbabayad kami sa ads, but instead of saying sorry kasi di nyo alam, or saying to us na "pass muna", eh iniwanan nyo ang conversation sa ere, matapos nyong magtanong ng tanong, yung iba nga jan request ng request ng pictures eh hindi naman basihan sa quality yang pictures.
Hindi po negosyo tong breeding namin, just FYI... Yung 15,000 nyo, one day ko lang makukuha yan sa real life trabaho ko, kaya wag kayong umasta na parang utang pa namin na nagmemessage kayo sa amin.
Nakaka-bwisit kayo! Di ko nalang isasali yung ibang pm jan, basin maulawan pa unya mo.
We're down to our last 3 females!

Pups first vaccination
Mommy got fed up with her pups, lol, cause their teeth are coming out and she wants to wean them already.
Hello, hoomans...
the
Just finished , Grandma Lexie thinks they're hers, lol, while Mom Leia is with her hooman dad.
AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR FANS, CRITICS, & VIEWERS:
We remember over 2 years ago, when we had our first litter, and 3 Clear Reds puppies came out. We didn't know about it, and we were devastated with the amount of bashings and criticisms we get from people, saying how that Parmesan and our other Clear Reds -- Percy and Leia -- were called "faults", "albino", "not pure", "cross or mixed", or "mutts".
That led us to make an expensive decision to test our dogs. With the help of The Doberman Diversity Project, we have secured a Doberman DNA Testing Package -- it is a low-cost, one-swab, Doberman DNA testing that supports research to better the breed -- and it is done thru Embark Vet, by which most of their co-founders, scientists, and geneticists are from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.
Lexie, our founding female with unknown history/pedigree and also the mother of Parmesan, turns out to be 86.10% Doberman and 13.9% Mixed Ancestry (composed of 7.60% German Shepherd and 6.30% Rottweiler). This again, discouraged us.
However, by the time Parmesan's results came in, we were beyond amazed.
Not only did he turned out to be 100% Doberman, he is also CLEAR and not at increased risk for the genetic health conditions. Aside from that, his COI is 22%, which is among the lowest markers for a PUREBRED Doberman.
Here we show his 2 result templates for transparency:
(1) https://my.embarkvet.com/dog/parmesancheeserutkevich
(2)https://www.rutkevichdobermanns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/9LR6D-PMVLM-WE6KQ-83G5Z.pdf
Now on to it's coat color -- why he is Golden or Aureate. This actually prompt us to book a one-hour consultation call from Embark's in-house Canine Geneticists.
The explanation goes like this:
If you take a look at the test results, he is carrying an "ee" allele. Dogs with TWO COPIES of the recessive "e" allele do not produce dark hairs at all, and will be “red” over their entire body. The shade of red, which can range from a deep copper to yellow/gold to cream, is dependent on other genetic factors including the Intensity loci.
Hence, he and his two other siblings are called or .
And nope, he is NOT ALBINO either, as he does not carry Z-Albinism factor. I hate to disappoint those who insist on this.
Just because they're not producing dark hairs does not mean they are less of a .
Yes, they are not of standard colors, but so are the Blue dobermans. FYI, Blue dobermans weren't accepted as Standards before, until someone stood up and tried to sue AKC for discrimination.
Yes, they are not of standard colors, but they're WAY healthier and less genetic bottleneck than your champion dogs.
Our original aim why we tested our dogs is to just to find out if they're pure or not. But thanks to some kind-hearted breeders from US who guided us on how to understand, read, and USE PROPERLY the test results, now our aim is to BETTER THE BREED.
And we cannot achieve that if we keep breeding them for the sake of "confirming to the standards". Bottlenecking the genes by STRICTLY doing line breeding for the purpose of looks, will be the DEATH of this breed.
They are bred to work, NOT to ramp on stage.
Even European Dobermans were once BRED OUT and CROSSED to Great Dane (ever wonder why they're bigger body than American Dobermans??) just to diversify the gene pool because it's too bottleneck; the dogs are dropping dead as early as 8 months old (https://www.facebook.com/rkdobermanns/posts/174630137214447)
So to those who will try to tell us again that our Dobermans are "faults", "albino", "not pure", "cross or mixed", or "mutts", please know that we put A LOT of effort and money to DO THE RIGHT THING for this breed.
Mahiya naman kayo, calling us backyard breeders, when we've spent over $1,000 for test kits, para lang to know how to match-make or kanino i-bre-breed ang mga dogs namin...
While kayo naman, import ng import lang kayo ng mga sakitin na dogs from Europe, nagpapa-uto sa mga foreigner Sellers who told you na tested daw yung dogs na binili nyo, pero di nyo naman dini-disclose ang mga test results (kasi hindi naman talaga sila nag D-DNA testing eh, puro fake yung mga tests kuno nila, kasi nga lahat ng Europe dogs are too in**ed, oh eto link https://doberbase.ru/dog/ kayo na bahala humanap sa mga champ dogs history nyong mga sakitin).
And let me be clear about this...
WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR STUPID STANDARDS, kasi you can have a perfectly looking, "confirmed to standards" doberman, but still comes out mixed breed on DNA results. And DNA don't lie (wink-wink).
WE ONLY CARE ON SAVING THIS BREED -- their genes that attributes to their characteristics and temperaments, the same genes that makes doberman a Doberman no matter what coat color or markings they carry -- even if it means crossing them out to a different, healthier breed just to eliminate those nasty DCM and other genetic conditions (we know how to breed them back to 100% Doberman naman eh).
You can trashtalk all you want (kasi ang bottomline nito is butthurt at jelly lang naman kayo eh), but you CANNOT STOP us, NOR BAN us from producing off-color, but HEALTHIER Doberman puppies.
They're more than just breeding stocks to us. They've helped up countless times. They're our companions. They're part of our family, and this our homage and way of thanking the breed.
EDDARD the Just
https://www.rutkevichdobermanns.com/listing/litter-2-puppy-1/
The name Eddard first appeared in the book series Song of Ice and Fire novels, created by George R.R. Martin. Although it's derived from the root name "Edward", it has the same name meaning, which is a Wealthy Guardian.
To those who are GOT fanatic, you will see how that Eddard, although he has vast wealth being the Steward of the North as well as deep, rich family ties, he isn't swayed by earthly pleasures. He went down south with King Robert to aid him as the Hand of the King, leaving his family behind.
Is it right to leave his family? No. But he has a duty to uphold. In such era, King is the end-all-be-all law in the land, and therefore left him no choice but to do his duty.
However, when King Robert died and Eddard found out the Queen's secret, so many people have counseled him to be smart about it, and that is, not to mess with the Lannisters. But due to his "morally right and fair" character, he chose to do what is right and just in the end, even if it means beheading him as the punishment.
are sleeping, the mother is relaxing outside, and we're starting to get some decent rest too.
As you noticed, our are spoilt, with proper whelping box from the beginning, with soft foam, daily changing of blankets/sheets, kulambo against mosquitoes and flies, and either an AC, fan, or cooler.
They will be taildocked and dewclawed this afternoon, which is the right time to do both (not two months or eight months later).
ETA:
and are done for them to avoid future injuries, which is why they are done at an early age, most likely between 3 to 5 days.
Taildocking and Dewclawing pups 3 months later (or for some I've seen their import Euro dogs at 8 months they dock it here) is nothing but amputation, and that my friend, is a real abuse of animal, and we do not condone with it.
Also taildock should either be 2 or 3 tailbone. If you don't do it that way, it's best you keep the tail intact instead. Beyond that, it will be ugly to look at when they grow older and it will also increase the risk of spin damage down the road.
Just because... ONE-day Old
Looks like she's done. Not bad, 6 puppies.
As expected, it's a RAINBOW litter. Here's a breakdown of her pups:
1. Fawn Male (unsure)
2. Blue Female
3. Clear Red Female (darkshade - unsure, it might be fawn)
4. Black&Tan Female (little bit black masked)
5. Clear Red Female (lightshade - unsure, it might be cream)
6. Clear Red Male (lightshade - unsure, it might be cream)
Coat colors will be confirmed one week onwards.
First stage of contraction begins...
Building Leia's ark. She's almost due. Will soon be posting on the details within the next 48 hours, for those who are interested on rehoming. There will also be a raffle activity, so stay tuned...
There will be a batch of to rehome very soon... Target date of release: 4th week of May to 1st week of June.
PET-only quality, possible CKC registered and chipped.
Pups will hav a possible rainbow coat variation (meaning, any coat color may come out, including the Clear Red).
Early reservation for adopters will have huge discount.

What a POWERHOUSE tandem!
(aka Sazy) just gave birth to 12 healthy puppies (no stillbirth)! Sired by another Australian champ line .
Studying the lineage and making sure their ancestors do not cross really pay off. Although Hiro is very closely in**ed, mixing him with a whole different gene pool from Sazy, broke his COI, hence they produced a large litter.
Truly, genetic diversification plays a huge impact in litter size and survival rate.
Coat colors:
- Classic Black/Rust
- 3 pups are possible Melanistics/Black Masks
