DanBar Ranch
in loving memory of Dan and Barbara Jessup
A Small, Serious Hobby Kennel in Goldendale, Washington, USA
We invite your inspection of ranch, dogs, health testing and breeding practices.
DanBar Ranch is a tribute to my beloved parents, Daniel and Barbara Jessup, long-time residents of West Seattle, WA. Dad was a captain for United Air Lines and mom worked tirelessly to give us kids a clean, safe, intelligent and loving home. Because of them, I was able to retire to the country and "live the dream" which is DanBar Ranch. Thanks, mom and dad, for instilling in me my love and respect for all animals, my ethics and my common sense - the best gifts parents can give their kids. They were pure class. I hope where ever they are they can see into my heart and know how much I love them.

Good Temperament, Good Health And Old Fashioned Integrity
I've retired from 20 years as an animal control officer. My entire life has been dedicated to dogs, and you can read about my dog training and life as an author and international speaker on dogs HERE.
I am not a commercial kennel - I breed a few litters for my own hobby but I can't keep them all!
My hobby is improving the Doberman and Cairn breeds by concentrating on health, temperament and original type - not chasing ribbons at shows where exaggeration of type is encouraged - ruining breeds. I welcome those who appreciate the benefits of a serious breeding program, to share these wonderful dogs with me. Ethical breeders can't exist without responsible, wonderful, appropriate puppy buyers like YOU. Purebred dogs are my passion and I keep my prices as low as possible (without going in the hole) to encourage you to buy a healthy, well-bred dog - not something off Craig's List. Because until puppy-buyers only support ethical breeders who microchip and take back their animals, we will always have "rescues" and euthanasia. YOU - when you buy a puppy from a reputable breeder - help to stop puppy mills, backyard breeders and retail rescues - and stop the retail rescues. For this I - and the dogs - thank you!

YEAH! Darque Energy has been bred to Lancer! Pups expected 12.30.23!!!!
This is a repeat breeding. This first breeding produced some AMAZING pups! Blacks and reds. I will be in contact with all of you who have sent in applications in the next week or so.
Even if you decide to purchase a dog elsewhere, I encourage you to use this site to learn about Cairn health and how to find an ethical breeder. I also have quite a bit of info Doberman health and what kennels and dogs to avoid in Doberman pedigrees - and more HERE
I dont care if you believe in Odin, Zues, Jehovah, Gaia, Shiva, Indra, Allah - or any of the other thousands of gods - but I would like to offer special consideration to any members of the Hebrew faith who may be facing persecution at this time and are interested in protecting their home with a Doberman.

Welcome!
I'm a retired animal control officer and dog author/speaker and my hobby is breeding exceptional Cairn terriers and European imported Dobermans.
Dog breeding - done correctly - is an expensive labor of love full of wonderful highs and devasting lows. A breeder must think in terms of years in advance in order to acquire compatible dogs, raise them to adulthood, health test them - all the while hoping for the best.
My goal is to produce my own unique strain within the breed; dogs with uniquely exceptional health, appearance and temperament. I am strictly a hobby kennel - I do not breed for resale. I only breed when I need a dog for my program but I can't keep them all so a few exceptional quality pups become available by reservation.
I do not breed to the fickle fads of the show-ring but rather to the time-honored standard of exceptional health, character and working structure.
Typical DanBar Cairn pups. Correct coat, type and temperament.
This is a young female pup from the first Lancer x Darque breeding. She is an amazing pup! Hope for more of the same!
