An update to our ear cropping policy

Starting with 2026 litters, crop cost will no longer be included in the purchase price of $3,500. If you want the ears cropped by the specialist we use, it will be an additional $500. The ears will be cropped and sutures removed before your puppy goes home.

Starting November 1st for new reservations on 2026 litters:

Puppy Price: $3,500

Ear Crop: $500

If you placed a reservation for a 2026 pup prior to November 1st, you are "grandfathered" in and there is no additional cost to crop.

Until now, we have included this option in the price of our pups and absorbed all of the costs. We felt that some individuals might look at an additional crop cost and think, "I can get a crop done cheaper by my local vet." However, ear cropping is an art form and should not be performed by just any vet; unless your vet has mentored under a specialist or had years of experience cropping Dobermans, you run a high risk of botched ears that can permanently ruin the look of a beautiful animal.

Cropped ears are AKC Breed Standard, but we understand that it is a purely cosmetic and optional procedure. At Oldfort Dobermans, we fully appreciate the look and art of cropped dogs which is why we will continue to source the best specialists for our puppies.

How will my puppy be raised?

We believe the best start to life for any puppy begins in the home environment. For this reason our pups are raised inside and exposed to the hustle and bustle of daily family life. As pups grow, they're exposed to multiple surfaces, toys, wobble boards, miniature agility equipment, etc. If weather permits, our pups will spend time outside exploring the great outdoors.

We understand that people want to visit us and the dogs/pups but we are not a kennel facility; our home is private and increased traffic from the general public increases the risk of pathogens and viruses such as parvo, distemper, canine herpes virus, etc. For this reason we limit visitors to those who have placed a reservation and only after pups have had their first vaccination.

Waiting List, Reservations, and Pick Position

Want to place a reservation and get on the waiting list? Send us an email!

We begin accepting reservations from interested individuals once a litter is planned. Approved individuals will be emailed a personalized reservation contract with the gender and color preference(s) agreed upon by the Breeder and Buyer. The $500 reservation fee may be placed by Zelle, personal check, or Venmo. Paper payment methods should be mailed USPS, UPS, or FedEx along with the signed reservation contract. If placing a reservation through Zelle or Venmo, the reservation contract may be signed and sent electronically.

Pick order will be based on when your reservation fee is received. Our daily interaction with the pups and the final temperament evaluations we perform between 7 and 8 weeks old will help us help you choose your puppy.

A reservation fee will only be refunded if we are unable to provide you with a puppy from the selected litter. If there is another litter planned for the near future, you may choose to move your reservation to that litter. If you change your mind about purchasing a puppy after committing to Oldfort Dobermans to purchase a puppy, your deposit is non-refundable.
