Puppies
From planning the litter to welcoming your puppy home — every Quince’s Guardians Dobermann is thoughtfully bred, individually raised and carefully matched.
Our programme combines health-tested parents, purposeful nutrition, early development and socialisation tailored to each puppy’s future home.
From the first decision to your front door
- 01
Planning the litter
Every litter begins with the careful study of health, longevity, temperament, structure, working ability and pedigree. Some combinations are planned primarily for family life and show potential, while others are intended for sport or protection. Understanding the purpose of each litter allows us to guide clients towards the most suitable combination.
- 02
Preparing the parents
Our breeding dogs undergo relevant genetic, cardiac and orthopaedic health examinations. Before and throughout pregnancy, the female receives appropriate conditioning, veterinary care and individually planned nutrition. This preparation supports her health, the development of the litter and the puppies’ earliest weeks of life.
- 03
Early development
Our puppy programme begins during the neonatal period with daily observation, appropriate handling and early neurological stimulation. As the puppies develop, they are gradually introduced to different surfaces, sounds, people, stable adult dogs, short journeys and new environments. Early foundations also include handling, crate routines and a structured toilet schedule. Every experience is introduced at the appropriate age, helping the puppies develop confidence, adaptability and healthy responses to unfamiliar situations.
- 04
Tailored socialisation
No two puppies — or future homes — are the same. As we learn each puppy’s character, confidence, energy and natural drives, we adapt the programme to the life ahead. A puppy preparing for children, city living, showing, sport or protection work will receive different experiences and foundations. Our aim is to prepare each puppy for its individual future, rather than raise the entire litter according to one formula.
- 05
Selection and matching
Before recommending a litter, we learn about your home, experience, routine and expectations from a Dobermann. We then observe each puppy’s sociability, sensitivity, confidence, recovery and natural drives before making the final match. Client preferences are considered, but puppies are never selected from photographs or colour alone. If a litter does not contain the right puppy for a particular home, we prefer to wait rather than make an unsuitable placement.
- 06
Reservation, arrival and support
A deposit secures your place within the chosen litter and is confirmed through a written agreement. During development, owners receive regular photographs, videos and updates. Before departure, we provide individual guidance on feeding, routines, boundaries, training and the continuation of socialisation at home. Our support continues after arrival and throughout the dog’s life.
What travels with your puppy
Every Quince’s Guardians puppy leaves with:
- an FCI-recognised pedigree;
- microchip and identification documents;
- age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming;
- veterinary documentation required for travel;
- records of the parents’ relevant health examinations;
- a written agreement;
- individual feeding, care and training guidance.
Documentation may vary according to the puppy’s age and the import requirements of its destination.
International transport can be arranged worldwide. When we send you the details of a litter, we confirm what transport involves for your country, the expected timing and the current cost, which is quoted separately from the puppy.
From our hands to their homes
Our puppies live with selected families across Europe and worldwide — as devoted companions, show dogs, sport prospects and personal protectors.
These photographs offer a glimpse of the lives they were raised for: close to their families and prepared for the role expected of them.
