DanBar Ranch- Contact Info and Visiting

I hear far too often from people who are either ignored or treated brusquely by breeders (especially Doberman breeders!) Whether you are buying a dog from me or someone else, if I can answer a question that will help you make the best decisions for you and your dog, I will try.

The #1 reason dogs end up in rescue or the pound is the owner NOT DOING THEIR RESEARCH ABOUT THE BREED THAT FITS THEIR LIFE STYLE!  The nice thing about purebreds is that you know what you are getting - no pot-luck like a mix-breed. Purebreds - bred correctly - have characteristic traits; making it easier to decide what type of dog fits you and your life the best.

Would you like to visit?

​Please do! Bring the kids. It is very important to meet the parents and relatives of the puppy you want to bring home. You will get NO EXCUSES here about why you can't visit and see for yourself how my dogs live, and how they act. 

Visits by appointment only 

Leave your dog(s) at home, please 
There is no shade parking yet and I do not allow outside dogs
 on the property for health reasons. No exceptions. 

Kids Welcome

Dress Appropriately
My dogs will try and get into your lap.  It is generally
 dusty and windy and hot.  We will be outside.

"Visiting Season"
I'm not a commercial kennel. I don't have a fancy kennel building or office. The dogs are family and live free. For this reason you will be meeting the dogs outside in the yard and for this reason I restrict visiting season to when the weather is warm enough for our comfort. Each year is a little different, so watch here or home page for each year's exact dates. Generally  April-ish through November-ish.


THERE ARE NO
 RESTROOM FACILITIES HERE
Due to my severe arthritis and stenosis I had to move out of my house and into a 5th wheel so I have less area to have to move in, as well as opening up the house for the guy who is helping me with the dogs. For a variety of reasons I do not allow the public into my 5th wheel.  Please consider using the facilities in the Goldendale Dairy Queen before arriving here. Thank you. 


CONTACTING ME

Please email me first - so I can send you additional
 info and an application.  DreadLives@outlook.com
I prefer to have your application in hand when we speak on the phone so that I can know a bit about your situation and wants. 


DanBar Ranch is located near Goldendale, WA.
We are about an hour from The Dalles, Oregon, and an hour from Yakima.  The driveway is "primitive" so "lowrider" type cars won't make it.
