All parents are health tested well above the basic minimum standards required by the Kennel Club Accredited Breeder Scheme. The average price from most breeders for a well bred puppy today is around £850 - £1000 depending on health testing/pedigree and show/work success. Our puppy price includes first vaccination and microchip - click HERE for full details.

When choosing your breeder watch out for 'tested' beside some dogs details. Some breeders put results up on one dog, but then just write 'tested' against another. You can check the results for individual dogs on the KC website http://www.the-kennel-club.org.uk/services/public/health/search/ (if you know their pedigree names), but for over four years since publishing Aritaur still REMAIN the ONLY Top UK Dobermann breeders to publish results of ALL our tested dogs, good or not.

I have to labour this point as some readers see something they think is a concern which it is not. Please ring for a chat if you want to clarify this or any other health aspect, or our Health page and Health Results page carry explanations of all health details.
Through lack of time I haven’t put them on the site, but as always, health certificates are available to be mailed out. Please don’t be embarrassed to ask to see them, as we will not be offended if you ask. Any breeder who refuses to do so or takes offence has something to hide.
