Haverhill Théone (Asia) had to have an emergency spay yesterday morning after being diagnosed with pyometra. Asia is recovering fine and set to shoot her small role in a local film tomorrow evening however this does mean that there will be no puppies out of this beautiful girl. The most important thing for us as a family is that Asia is healthy and happy. Pyometra affects up to 50% of unspayed female dogs and is the biggest reproductive disease in dogs. The causes for it are not fully known as there are multiple reasons as to why it may develop, it can become life threatening very quickly. The best and most effective way to treat it is to spay the female. To those who were hoping for a puppy from Asia we are truly sorry that this is the outcome but I am sure you will agree a happy healthy dog is far more important. For now Haverhill Dobermanns breeding plans are on hold till further notice. I will let you all know if plans should change.

Jinx (Haverhill Tryste) competed in Working Dog Trials, and completed her Companion Dog level (CD). She won first place, and a qualification, and progresses to the next level. It was also an official championship show, thus she received a qualification certificate, KUSA approved and acknowledged, which can go on her full record.

We congratulate John and Jinx for their incredible achievement 🏆🥇🐾

We strive to breed the complete Dobermann. A dog that is equally at home as a family companion, in the ring or working. Stability, health and conformation are all imperative to our breeding program. We only breed occasionally and to better the breed contact [email protected] for more information on any upcoming litters or Dobermann information in general.

Haverhill Théone (Asia) has been officially training for mantrailing since September last year. We are aiming at becoming a certified mantrailing handler dog team with the help of Tame The Beast Dog Training and the INBTI. This year we are hoping for a litter of puppies from Asia we will probably do the exam next year.

A dog that mantrails has to be able to scent discriminate in heavily contaminated environments. Yesterday Asia had her first go at casting, which is when a scene article of the missing person or suspect is used but with no direct trail from that article. For example a lost child was last seen on the roof top of the mall but no idea of precisely where. An article carrying the child's sent will then be presented to the dog and the dog will have to "cast" the area for the child's trail. This is not easy for a dog to do especially for the first time, but here is Aisa getting it right the first time, look at her go!🔥🐾😍

Happy new year to everyone, we have a big 2023 in front of us.🐾🐕💖

Along came Asia, or should I say finally along come Asia. Let me start at the beginning. When I was born there were Dobermanns in my life, Buster and Baby. They left such an impression on me all I ever wanted was my own Dobermann. In my twenties I couldn’t afford a well bred Dobermann (my dream dog) but I got a wonderful rescue girl called Layla. Finally after waiting so long I had a Dobermann, I was ecstatic. Layla and I were very happy but I had reached out to a few breeders keeping my dream alive that one day I would own that well bred dobie. Along this journey I made contact with Felicity at Haverhill Dobermanns, She spent many hours over the years offering her advice and expertise for free on the two Dobermanns I had that she had not bred, Layla and Levi. She was incredible and exactly the kind of person I wanted to be. She also bred incredible Dobermanns.

We kept in contact over the years and finally I reached out to say I wanted a puppy. I wasn’t expecting this puppy quite so soon but it was Felicity’s last litter before she left the country and it was now or never! To keep the longest story short, Asia arrived in my life. She was that puppy I had waited so long for (my whole life really). Felicity temperament tests the puppies and places them accordingly so Asia was chosen for me. Asia has been everything I expected her to be and more. Felicity placed her in the right home. As sunny and lovely as she is; Asia is by far the most demanding dog I have ever owned, she is an all eyes on me kind of girl and has a strong working drive. Our man trailing trainers have often said “she’s a lot of dog and lucky that she has you as her owner”. Asia was raised 100% force free. My goal was to have a dog that was rock solid, that never knew what it was like to be scared in training and felt confident to make her own decisions. Of course I provided the groundwork to help her make good decisions by reinforcing them. Asia’s registered name is Haverhill Theoné (The one) and little did I know how fortuitous that would be as I was honoured by a unexpected decision by Felicity to hand over Haverhill to me when she immigrated. I never planned or imagined any of this! Back to Asia, I have learned through great breeding, modern behavioural training from a young age and the mentorship of an incredible woman that dream dogs do exist.
