First time puppy owner!

I strongly recommend Silverhawk Dobermans to anyone looking to purchase this breed. My fiance and I have been having a wonderful experience with our new playful, intelligent, obedient and loyal puppy Apollo. We were initially nervous about having him air shipped to Connecticut; although Silverhawk made the experience for us and the transition for Apollo quite pleasant. The breeder showed great concern and care for our pup throughout the entire process, which completely convinced us we had made a great decision in purchasing from Silverhawk. Our new pup has visited the vet for his first check up and passed with flying colors! Thanks for all your support Silverhawk!!!

First time doberman owner

My husband and I just bought a black/tan male from the Silverhawk Kennel. My husband grew up with dobermans and I only heard horror stories about them ( despite what my husband had said about his). I decided to get him one for his birthday and after months of searching for the right one, by mistake I stumbled upon Silverhawk. When we went to pick up Brutus, I was suprised about how friendly all of the dobermans were and it instantly changed what I had heard about them. Thay were the most lovable dogs. I love mine to death. i would recomend Silverhawk to anyone that was looking for a doberman. ---Trasia & Lee

Long Distance Friends!

On May 25th, 2007 my life changed for the better.  It was the date my wife and I picked up our precious Lilly (Black Female).  Prior to obtaining the telephone number for Silverhawk’s I would call breeder after breeder in the hopes of finding one that had the patience and experience to answer my Doberman questions – and trust me I like to be informed… After the first telephone call with Beth, I asked my wife if we could travel to Indiana to get a dog, as I knew I had found our breeder!  Once Beth informed us that Lilly was born, I was updated on a daily basis as to her well-being and progress.  Beth would send pictures every week to appease my excitement.  Around the seventh hour of our 600 mile trip to pick up Lilly, I began to question why we bought a pup so far away.  When I crossed the covered bridge and pulled down the long driveway to the beautiful country estate, I was reminded why.  Through my interactions with Beth prior to picking up Lilly, I felt the need to give her a hug as soon as I got out of the truck.  Lilly is our pride and joy!  She is a beautiful Doberman, and we receive compliments on her daily.  She is large for a female, which is exactly what we wanted.  She is socialized and loves people, well except for anyone around our home at night – again just what we wanted.  She is a love bug, great with kids, loves being near you, but when she feels that her home is threatened, she acts exactly like a Doberman should.  In fact, we are so happy with Silverhawk’s Lillian VonKimberchamp (AKC name) that we will be making the 600 mile trip to add a red male to our family in a year or two.  I would STRONGLY recommend a dog from Beth and Donnie!  If you would like to call me personally and discuss my recommendation, I would be more than happy to speak with you (716) 982-6141…

Beth and Donnie,

I am so happy with Axel, 

I really can't express it in words.  I'm out here on vacation in Maine  right now with my girlfriend, we've been traveling with him and he is  an absolute ace.  He is completely comfortable in a canoe, on an  airplane or in a car.  Is this normal with Dobermans?  he is almost 30 pounds now.  He is really the perfect dog and 

he blows my mind daily.  He knows sit, shake, come, lay down, go, go  to (person), up, down, etc., and I really have not had to work that 

hard to teach him all of these commands.  He has nearly learned watch and patrol.  I hope my review on Google captured what excellent 

breeding stock you guys are dealing with.  I really couldn't be  happier.  I'll send some pics soon.  Are you going to have any puppies 

available soon?  I would really like to get a female for my  girlfriend, as she travels alone as part of her job I worry about her alot.  I would consider getting an older Dobe perhaps, as long as it  is young enough it could still bond to her.

Anyway, thanks again guys.  I really think you're doing a great thing  breeding such great dogs.  Axel has honestly made my life better in 

every way.  He is  the best,  most loyal dog in the world.  Please let me know if you guys can find 

the review on Google (I want to make sure it is "world" accessible), 

Thanks again,

"I chose to go with Silverhawk Dobermans immediately after speaking with Beth. She was friendly, informative and extremely knowledgable about the breed. In fact Beth chose our dobie for us as we were coming from Michigan and could not visit to make our choice. I asked her to choose us a sweet, friendly, and affectionate pup. She described our baby as very vocal and not afraid to let you know what he wants and that description could not be more accurate. Murphy is the biggest baby and has to be with us at all times and crys whenever he wants anything, I have never seen a dog with human traits and we are completely and totally in love with him. The drive was worth it, and we plan to make the trip again to pick another addition to our family soon."

On June 19Th 2008, Panzer, the love of my life arrived in my arms. I am a first time Doberman owner and I have to say he is even better then I imagined. I first began talking to Beth back in September of 2006 about being a doberman owner, and I have to say she was so helpful and so professional and you could tell just by her voice and her knowledge she had an unexplainable love for the breed. I did a lot of research on doberman and how to get a great breeder and  it all lead me to SilverHawk Dobermans. Beth was such a sweetheart and was so helpful with my questions and just talking to me. I consider Beth and SilverHawk as a close friend even though we never met. I will always hold them dear to my heart as well as my beautiful black and tan male ''Panzer". Thank you for the gift of so much joy. If you are missing something in your life get a puppy, but  if you want a magnificent, intelligent, healthy dog; call Beth and get you a Silverhawk Doberman

if you have any doubts call me anytime and I will lay all them to rest

Thank you so much Beth!!!!

Love,

Beth-

I wanted to thank you for breeding such beautiful Dobermans. On November 1st of 2008, my brother and I made the short trip from Chicago to pick up my first Doberman, Caesar. I grew up with Dobermans in the extended family and have always had a love for them but never had one of my own. My first dog, one I could call my own, was a Rottweiler, an affectionate, loving and smart dog, very similar to Caesar so far. When he passed away 3 1/2 years ago, at the age of 12, it created a large void and for the first time in my life, I didn't have a dog. My new Doberman, Caesar, has filled that void, and I couldn't be happier. He's amazing, absolutely beautiful, smart and a quick learner(although he seems to know when he can get away with something). Everyone loves him, my family, everyone in my building who's met him, and my co-workers when he goes to the firehouse with me for our 24 hour shift. I get compliments on him from passers by almost daily and if they don't say anything they're smiling, even once from someone driving by in a car, and believe it or not, the mailman. He's 5 months old now, just lost his last puppy tooth the other day, and his ears are standing perfectly. He's starting to look more and more like his dad, Champ. Thank you also, Beth, for all the help you've provided. It's very comforting to know that when I have a question, it's always answered within 12 hours, most of the time the same day. I highly recommend you and Silverhawk Dobermans to anyone wanting to purchase one of these beautiful dogs. You could bet that if it was practicle for me, I'd be down there in late May to pick up another male, red this time, from Champ's March litter. 

Thanks again-

experience with Silverhawk Dobemans..First it should be said that it is very

obvious and with out any dought  that  Donnie and Beth Short Love what they

honest .I looked no further, I knew I had found the people I wanted my

husbands dobie to come from. Our boy Zeus is the son of  Int.Ch."Champ" and

mother  Nym..He is the love of our Families life , he came to us at 11 weeks

old already filled with love, spirit and in our opinoin of great

intellegance he continues to impress us every single day! and that is why we

are in the process of getting our second boy from Silverhawk Dobermans ,We

are asked everyday "where did  you get that beautiful dobe" and we never

hesitate to tell people" Silverhawk Dobermans," Indiana the "only place to

get a true  Dobe" ! feel free to email us for any further info about our

wonderful experience with Silverhawk Dobermans.  P.S  All the Kids say "Hi"
