Purchase Process
All those interested in a puppy or dog must complete the questionnaire. If approved the next step is the deposit. A deposit is required to secure a puppy or dog. No puppy/dog will be held without one. Due to the amount of scams and window shoppers there is no grace period in getting your deposit it. Deposits are FCFS. Once your puppy has been born you will be updated weekly via email with pictures. You will only be contacted via your preferred contact method if there is a specific question or concern the breeder has regarding your puppy or the litter. A second payment of $500 is due at 6 weeks old and is applied towards the total balance. The remainder is due before the dog is scheduled for transportation (flight nanny, cargo or ground transport) or at pick-up if picking-up in person. Home visits are limited due to the risk of viral and disease exposure to young puppies especially prior to their 7-10 day immunity period after their first vaccination. Virtual visits are encouraged and welcomed.
Additional costs: Please note transportation/shipping is an additional cost and not included in the purchase price. Any additional vetting required is also an additional fee and not included in the original purchase price (example: rabies prep for shipping to a rabies free country). Housing, kenneling, vetting, and feeding costs will be added for dogs that must stay longer and are not sent home by their pick-up dates, this includes the duration necessary for animals needing to be quarantined prior to be shipped. For more information please contact Jackson's Kennel. *We are NOT a boarding facility.*

Selecting Your Puppy
You may select your own puppy or have the breeder assign a puppy based on temperament testing. Puppies are assigned/selected starting at 5 weeks old for most litters but may be as late as 6 weeks old. Pick of the litter keeper, if there is one, will be selected between 5-6 weeks old. Those who want the breeder to assign their puppy to them will be assigned puppies next. Lastly, those who want to select their puppy will choose from the unassigned puppies. Breeder assigned puppies have priority as their families are looking for a very specific trait or temperament, usually for a working, sport, or competition dog. Once a puppy is assigned/picked it can not be changed. If you decide a puppy from the reserved litter doesn't suit your wants your deposit is transferrable to any available litters for up to 2 years. If a puppy isn't selected within 2 years the deposit is forfeited.
A Companion Pet
Jackson's Kennel provides quality life-long companion pets suitable for breeding programs, service work, exhibition, performance and conformation. We do not provide animals for protection, security/patrol, guard, Schutzhund, known competitively as IGP (previously called IPO), or other non-companion pet related purposes unless preapproved via a phone interview. For more information please contact Jackson's Kennel.
Full Registration
Breeder Homes: Our puppies are available to select approved homes only. Breeding rights are only provided to exclusive approved breeder homes. We do not sell dogs for breeding-only purposes; breeding dogs must be in committed lifelong homes. We will not send a dog into a breeder home that is not committed to the dog for it's lifetime. We offer two methods for breeding rights. The first, completiopn of two free breeder education courses are required prior to breeding rights being released and an additional $1000 fee. The second method is breeder homes may obtain breeding rights for free upon completion of a title and full health testing. Once a title is earned the limited registration will be released. A title in any field and any circuit is sufficient (obedience, working, trick, agility, conformation, etc. and doesn't have to just be AKC). For more information please contact Jackson's Kennel.

Important Requirements for Health Guarantee

doberman_health_guarantee_2021_.pdf |
Crate Training: Doberman as a breed are high energy and need a lot of stimulation, exercise, and engagement. They are prone to destructive boredom and chewing. It is highly advised to crate train your dog; for its safety and for your home's safety. The leading reason for surgery in young dogs is accidental ingestion/bowel obstruction. It is required by the health guarantee for puppies to be crate trained and to be crated until fully house-broke (around 1-2 years old, but in some dogs much sooner). Crate training provides a safe space for your dog should it need it (after surgery, down for recovery, boarding at a clinic, emergency where you must leave the dog unattended for a short duration). Crating a dog should never be used as a punishment or as the primary means of containing your dog. It is intended as a training tool and as a safe space/den. A dog should not be crated beyond it's bladder/bowel capacity (for example, an 8 week old puppy should not be crated any longer than 2-3 hours while awake; he can't hold his bladder that long). Crating is a good tool to have in your "dog kit". The time to NOT crate is when you can dedicate your eyes, ears and nose to your puppy at all times.
Vaccinations: It is required the puppy receive it's full core series (at minimum the 4 core vaccines boosters and Rabies). The basic annual boosters are also required. This is to protect not only your dog but also the dogs it may come in contact with. Dogs can shed viruses and bacteria a variety of ways (pee, poop, skin contact, nasal secretions, mouth/licking, sneezing/coughing, even breathing). It's important to protect your dog so he can protect others. Puppies leave me with their core series started (if cropped they will leave with their first 2 rounds, if not cropped they will leave with their first round). They also receive their Bordetella/Kennel Cough vaccine. After 3 years old you can titer test which vaccines your dog carries immunity for and which ones will need to be repeated. Note; vaccines take between 10-21 days, depending on the vaccine, to develop an immunity in the dog's system. Reducing exposure (public walks, dog parks, pet stores, play dates, etc.) is important in ensuring your dog doesn't contract an illness while in the immunity building phase.
Regarding Claims: A qualifying diagnosis must be confirmed by two separate, unaffiliated veterinarians on two different dates. Holistic and alternative veterinarians will not be accepted. The appropriate health screenings, testing, and protocols must have been followed to ensure an accurate diagnosis. All vet care reimbursements, puppy replacements and refunds are subject to the breeder's discretion. Each claim will be assessed individually, case-by-case.
Raw Feeding Notice: No Jackson's Kennel dog should be fed a raw diet in the duration of the health guarantee unless specifically prescribed by a canine nutritionist for a specific health purpose. Raw feeding diets in any form are an immediate termination of the health guarantee. Raw diets include but are not limited to BARF, BARD, meat only, whole prey, home made, home cooked, premade fresh, premade freeze dried, premade frozen, premade refrigerated, premade dehydrated, prepackaged fresh. prepackaged raw, prepackaged other meat based raw feeding. Raw diets are not regulated by the FDA nor meet the AAFCO nutritional guidelines and testing standards and are not in the best interest of your dog's health, contrary to public misinformation.
