Westarr Dobermans
 

Westarr Dobermans – the Past


It has been 14 years since I have bred a litter. I spent 15 years building a breeding program that produced more than 100 champions in 5 different countries, first in conjunction with John and Marian Lerfold and my first husband, Darrell as Ravenhill Dobermans, and then on my own with Westarr. In 1994, when my life situation changed, I chose to temporarily retire from breeding  while I pursued a full time career in handling. I was no longer able to be at home enough and care for and raise puppies in the way that I felt Dobe puppies needed to be happy, healthy, social puppies. It is not a decision that I have ever regretted however, as I have been blessed with many other opportunities and experiences that I would not have had otherwise. From friendships developed to intimately learning about many other breeds, the lessons I have learned have allowed me an even better understanding of the Doberman breed.

When our first Dobes Tiki and Titan came into the lives of my family I had no idea dogs would become a life long passion for me and how they would influence my life path. I followed the usual progression from pet owner, to learning how to handle my own dog and then learning about the breeding of dogs. From the genetics of breeding  to the phenotypic traits passed on through the generations I was fascinated by it all and so I studied and learned. I was determined to do my best, to produce dogs that not only portrayed my idea of the “perfect” Doberman but also were healthy and had good temperaments. Over the years I feel that I had developed a successful breeding program; one that produced not only many beautiful show dogs but also many beautiful, happy pets that enriched the lives of their owners. They were not years without up and downs and heartaches but they are years that I can look back on and be proud of.

It is with great pride that I present the following photos..........a pictorial of my success as a breeder.  These are but a few of the great dogs that were so much a part of my life, at least for a while............
