April Ward of Immortal Dobermans is a liar and con artist. She is trying to sell Dobermans as working dogs from inferior quality Dobermans for $2500.00. None of the dogs are actually working dogs with titles , she just keeps saying she's training them while actually she's just a puppy mill turning out junk dogs for big money to people who don't know the difference ! She works with other junk greeders as well , like Family Dobermans , owned by a registered sex offender , Thunder Valley Dobermans , and Unbreakable Dobes , all well known puppymillers and greeders !

Dear Steven,
I am sorry for any apparent miscommunication you may have received or inferred regarding my dogs, my ethics or my breeding practices. Let me address your concerns individually and also remind you that slander is illegal.
First off, my puppies are $2800 and this includes all health care, micrichip, limited registration and everything else that is outlined on my website.
I am not sure where you are getting your information regarding the :inferior" quality of my dogs, but you are welcome to come and visit them in person to clear any concerns. I can also supply copies of all of their extensive health testing and titles that they have earned, wich brings me to your next point.
The fact that you say that none of my dogs are working is ignorant and ludicrous. My dogs actively train and comepete in IPO and AKC events, as well as perform therapy work. They are also active in working on films, videos and other productions. And yes my dogs wil be in training their entire life, as soon any high energy dog, regardless of breed. All of the titles they have earned are listed on each of their individual pages on my site. As well as photos and videos.
Also incorrect is your statement that I "work" with other breeders. I choose my dogs based on their merits when I evaluate them as puppies. My dogs then are trained and raised by ME, unlike the majority of breeders that will buy or import dogs that are already titled and do not do any of the work themselves. My dogs do not need to ride the coat tails of their pedigree, they are out there provong them selves.
In addition, I do not trial my dogs solely for the sake of adding letters to their names. My dogs will only compete when I feel they are physically and mentally ready to perform to the best of their ability and considering the number of venues that we are involved in, and the fact that I do all of my own training, my dogs accomplish an icredible amount and more importantly they enjoy what they do and are never forced to pursue a discipline that they are not suited for or do not enjoy.
As to the insinuation that I am a puppymill or back yard breeder, again another unfounded comment. You are clearly misinformed as to what those titles are applicable to. I am a member of the UDC, DPCA, WHWDC, UScA and the BARK therapy dog organization. My dogs are completely health tested and I have an extremely limited number of litters per year. I also work with a reproductive specialist as well as my regular veterinarians to ensure the health of my adults and furture puppies. All of my dogs live in the house with me,not in kennels and they are out in the public eye continuously as ambassadors for the breed.I have nothing to hide. I will not ship my puppies, which limits the pool of prospective owners, but I will not lower my standards. I am actually on my way home to California after driving and hand delivering one of my babies to Philadelphia. To date I have produced less than 20 puppies, and have a 2 year waiting list. I surely could produce and sell more puppies if money was my sole motivator.
If you have any questions that I have not addressed, please feel free to contact me. And again, you are always welcome to come and visit my home and my kids if you have any concerns regarding my program. I also have contact info and permission from the owners of every puppy I have ever sold, to ask them any questions about me, my dogs or my ethics.
