At Rhapsody, dogs are trained and compete in many different dog sports to showcase the versatility of the breed. Working ability is an integral part of the Doberman breed... In our breeding practices we strive to always improve the breed. We breed to the standard, and we pay special attention to temperament and working ability. Breeding determines temperament, type, and working ability and should always be considered in the purchase of a companion, show, or working dog... We research pedigrees at length and try to educate ourselves about the ancestors of our dogs. We want to have long-lived dogs, and a result we do the following health tests on our dogs - vWD DNA, OFA hips, thyroid and echocardiogram/holter monitor tests (for cardiomyopathy) and CERF for eyes. We do our best to ensure a long life in a puppy, but we cannot control genetics.
