My lifelong dream has been to have a place to breed and raise dogs.  I fell in love with Doberman's 8 years ago after my working German Shepherd suddenly passed away and Royal Von Hedenberg became part of our family. 

     My experience with working dogs is extensive.  In college I fell in love with training my own dogs.  My first German shepherd, Rauca, I titled in AKC obedience with a CD & became actively involved in Schuzthund training titling her to a Sch B.  Then along came Decas, my 2nd German Shepherd that I raised and trained to achieve what few have is a HOT Sch III title (handler, owner trained), and AKC CD title. 

     As I continued training and titling my own dogs in Schutzhund, AKC obedience, and Agility I became a certified dog trainer and opened a dog training center.   Where I helped strengthen the bond between owners and their canine companions as well as helping them achieve titles in AKC obedience & agility.  Additionally I have trained a multitude of service dogs for both police, coast guard, and canine service companions.

     It was at this time that I was fortunate to fall in love with and marry my "Helper" (the guy who puts on a bite sleeve and lets dogs bite him), best friend and life long partner, Todd Von Hedenberg. 

     After 15 years of professional dog training I decided to gain new experiences and became a Registered Veterinary Technician (certified pet nurse).  I have over 13 years experience working in Emergency & Specialty veterinary hospitals, as well as day practice clinics.       

     I had worked with Dobermans in the past and recognized their innate physical ability, intellectual capacity and emotional depth they posses.  Once you make a dober friend, you've made a friend for life.
