The serious breeder plans years in advance how to slowly but surely improve their line of dogs, carefully improving faults and strengthening strong points. There are no "quick fixes", especially in a breed that faces the genetic challenges like the Doberman. Serious breeding is an attempt to pick your way carefully through lesser faults while weeding out things like DCM and bad character.
Mossad is an example of this long-term careful melding of dogs and pedigrees necessary to remove faults while strengthening positive traits. Her story starts years before with the two years of research I did to pick my first bitch, Huni, followed by more years, money and effort to take Huni to the best working male I could find, Finish Import, Way Out West Guilty As Charged, IPO 3, FH, Mondio Ring 1. This breeding was a heartbreak when I lost all but 2 pups, the runt and one male who never became ill like the others. This strong pup became DanBar Soldat Aus Eiche, an absolutely amazing dog.
Meanwhile I was importing Dobermans from Europe, and had to cull most as not good enough for my program. Having researched the longevity and heart health of Ludek Silhavy's European K9 Training Base kennel in the Czech Republic I found the perfect dogs for my line. I imported Lancer and Maulie.
The pairing of Maulie (who has ZERO DCM 3 and 4 mutations) with Soldat (who has zero DCM 3 but 2 mutations DCM 4) gave me pups with zero DCM 3 and only 1 DCM 4 mutation. This is a great step forward for my heart health goals.
Mossad is a happy, bold little girl, just growing up right now, and I am really happy to have her and her sister in my program.
