Find Your Perfect Companion at Northwoods Dobermans
Frequently Asked Questions
Reserving A Puppy: We require a holding fee of $1000 to reserve a puppy. A second payment of $750 is due at 4 weeks old for ear cropping
Can I Visit In Person: We do allow visitors. Visitation is limited. Virtual visits are welcome when scheduled in advance!
No Deposit - No Hold: Due to the overwhelming amount of interest we will not hold a specific dog without the holding fee commitment. A deposit is required to reserve a dog. Most litters are reserved 6-18 months in advanced, depending on the pairing.
Selecting A Puppy: Our policy is to select the right fit for you and your lifestyle.
Can Anyone Have a Puppy?: No, our puppies are available to only those approved by the breeder based on their questionnaire. Dobermans are bred with a specific temperament and drive within the breed standard and are not suited for everyone. A questionnaire is based on past breed experience, past dog experience, lifestyle, and if we feel we are the right breeder for you/you are the right buyer for us. Northwoods Dobermans reserves the right to decline the sale of a puppy or to cancel sale and refund the deposit.
When Do You Take Deposits?: We accept deposits for planned litters, expected litters and future litters for those with approved applications. Deposits are transferrable in the event the sex/color is not born or if the breeding failed. Deposits are not refundable in the event the sex or color is not available; in that situation the deposit would be transferred to the next planned litter.
Do You Have a Waiting List or Email List? Due to the amount if people who are not ready or willing to commit to a puppy when a litter is available we only keep a deposit list. If you're interested in a puppy but don't want to place a deposit to secure your reservation for one it's best to follow our website and social media for updates.

Can you pick a puppy for me?
YES! We select the puppy that is the right fit for you. We spend every minute of their lives for the first 8-12 weeks with them and we know them well. We place a puppy into the right home fit for them based on their temperament and personality.
Picking for Personality
When buying a puppy personality is key, but not concrete. Finding a puppy that fits your lifestyle is important but keep in mind just like how we grow, change and mature, so do dogs. The puppy's personality and interests will change as he/she grows up. If looking to buy a puppy based off personality the ideal age to gauge that is 5-6 weeks old, with some puppies showing personality traits as early as 3 weeks old, BUT personality is subject to change once the puppy leaves mom and its littermates. (Newborn and young puppies do not have obvious personalities yet.) As a pup adjusts to its home its personality may change. Leaving the pack can change a puppy (typically they become more outgoing or assertive).
Is The Puppy Good With Children?
The simple answer is almost always yes. Please refrain from asking me if a puppy is good with children. A puppy is almost always good with children. Where it seems like a good question to ask it really isn't. If it was an adult dog being re-homed asking that would be a very good idea. A puppy is nearly always good with children and adults of all ages but it is up to the owners to train the puppy how to behave around children and in the home.
Breeding Standards
We are committed to breeding only healthy dogs that meet the breed standard. Our breeding dogs undergo genetic testing to ensure they are free of any hereditary diseases. We carefully select breeding pairs to produce puppies that will be healthy and have desirable traits.
