Prima has a NEW CHAMPION!! CH Prima’s Show Pony TKN, aka Filly!

An AKC champion title is earned by winning a total of 15 points and two of those wins must be major wins (3pt, 4pt, or 5pt win). The number of points is determined by the region you show in and the number of dogs defeated. In conformation, the judge is selecting the dog they feel best conforms to the written breed standard which is like a blue print for each breed.

AKC dog shows can be very competitive since only one male (winners dog) and one female (winners bitch) will take home championship point(s) per show. It’s not unusual to spend many weekends spread over more than a year to accumulate enough points to become a champion. Filly did it in just two weekends! One weekend at the Palm Springs show handled by professional handler Andy Linton she got two majors, in the 6-9mos puppy class. And then one weekend at the Salt Lake Doberman Pinscher Club specialties handled by her owner Brittany she got two 5pt majors the week she turned 12mos old.

We’re very proud of Champion Filly!! Congratulations !!!

Filly is sired by CH Protocol-Dancing Star’s The Time Has Come (Dexter) x out of GCH Prima’s Make A Splash CGC RN WAC (Orca).

I got to meet up with a 4mos old red puppy from our most recent litter. She is learning to be a show dog and I’m very excited for her and her siblings!

The same creep profile impersonating me in April is back and in a new group scamming people with all my photos and captions. I cannot report the account “Shannon Dewitt” or the Doberman group she’s running because I’m blocked. Please report the account so it gets taken down again 🤬🤯😒

🏆🌟Prima has a NEW CHAMPION!!! CH Prima’s Make Me Famous (pending AKC confirmation) Mira finished her championship today with her handler Elizabeth Barrett winning a 4pt major under judge Mr. Fabrizio La Rocca.

5 fun facts about Mira:
1️⃣ She was first owned and loved by an NBA player who named her Nala.
2️⃣ Mira lives in New York with her bff Saint, a 5yr old red male from Prima.
3️⃣ She’s health tested vWD clear, OFA hips good, OFA elbows normal, OFA thyroid normal, echo normal, 24hr holter normal, Dings1 & 2 negative, DCM1 hetero, DCM2 and OFA eye test pending.

Huge congratulations to Amie on her first champion! So happy for you and proud of you and Mira.

Happy featuring ._.of._.steel ‘s photo I had the privilege of taking. I am proud to be a purebred dog breeder. Breeding purebred dogs comes with a responsibility to preserve the structure, temperament, and characteristics that epitomize the breed according to its written blue print (aka the standard), to prioritize and test for health and longevity, as well as to raise, love, and support for life all puppies produced.

Famous just turned 6mos and showed the judges how she can leap, bound, sit repeatedly, run into ring gaits, bark for bait, and tattled on me for not show training her... Despite her ever loving antics, she got some lovely compliments and the second day was less embarrassing than the first day. I promise... I will train this dog lol.

I can’t believe Famous and her littermates are going to turn 6mos old this weekend! That means they will be old enough to show and you’ll start seeing them in the ring 🌟

Her name is 🌟FAMOUS🌟 and the registered name I went with is “Prima’s Can’t Help That I’m Popular.” I think the Anything For Attention name was voted for more but something about the popular one just felt right. I had an entirely different name picked for our next dog but had resigned myself to not keeping one due to sending my top picks to my friends… then we couldn’t let this little devil go. And the name I have had in my head for awhile just didn’t fit with her. If you watch my stories you’ve seen she is more of an “infamous” 😂🤣😈

03/09/2023

I think I am naming her Famous 🤩 Comment which registered name you like (for showing):
1) Prima’s Can’t Help That I’m Popular
2) Prima’s Anything For Attention

We had other good ones like prima’s gone viral, prima’s talk to my agent, etc but I narrowed it down to the other two…

We moved! I think a lot of our followers forget or didn’t realize that in 2020 we moved from Arizona to Washington state 🌲🗻🍎. Last week we moved 17mi to our first home we purchased and are still in Washington. I am still active in the AZ show scene and Doberman club. I plan to be there often for dog events and to visit friends/family, especially in the winter. But home base is here in WA. Unpacking and organizing feels like it will take forever but I’m excited to settle in. We are so happy to have a home of our very own 🥹😍🏡

This disgusting scam account has come to my attention. 🚨Please block and report “Shannon Doberman puppies for adoption”🚨

They’re using literal photos of me and my family with my captions and scamming people. I have not accepted any deposit for many years. I do not accept deposits and I do not ship or transport puppies. It is really sick this person is impersonating me but I have no affiliation with any other breeder or account and do not sell puppies via messenger or without getting to know you. Also my puppies (no reputable breeder’s) are $1150. My direct contact is listed on my website www.PrimaDobermans.com and the dpca.org breeder referral listing, do not accept or correspond any messaging outside those contacts or this account, as me. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Breeding dogs is a lifetime of losses.

We lose newborn puppies...
We lose show prospects that don't turn out..
We lose dogs that fail health testing...
We lose dog shows...
We lose sleep way too often...
We lose young mothers...
And after all those losses, we lose our beloved old dogs.

Yet we all are here for the little gains that seem to keep us going.

A puppy that takes it's first breath..
A nuzzle by our best old pal..
A ribbon at a dog show...
A light in a family's eyes when they hold their puppy for the first time...
A wag of a tail...

A new generation that turns out better than the one before...
All for the love of a dog and the breed as a whole, our hearts are resilient.💗

Some of the finest moments of a puppy I have not been in a rush to find a home for… she is currently *not for sale* but also *to be determined* if she is staying. If I do end up placing her it will be to a show + sport home to do conformation and all the things (agility, obedience, fast cat, dock diving, nosework, etc). 💙🧊 Ice (blue collar girl) from our Lunch Box x Orca litter.

Prima is now a registered kennel name with the AKC (American Kennel Club )! Kennel names that are registered with AKC are protected from unauthorized use. It took several years to meet the requirements for a registered kennel name and then apply for “Prima” to be granted solely for my use. Plural forms of Prima are also protected. I have registered every Doberman puppy I’ve had under the kennel prefix Prima since my first litter in 2013. And now Prima is an official AKC registered kennel name! Just a little something I am excited about. 🍾🤗🎉✔️⭐️
