Story
Hello! We had an accidental litter in our home on 12-22-2023 of half american doberman/american pit. We were able to find 5 out of the 8 pups a loving home, and these last 3 are left. We have Moose with the larger tan face markings, Lady with the front white paw, and Leo with the single white line on his chest. We have had numerous bouts of litter mate syndrome with these pups but have had zero incidents in the last month. But these guys and gal are ready for their OWN homes! Their own families and their own beds. They are all 100% potty trained, crate trained, use a doggy door, they come and sit on command, know their names, LOVE to cuddle and get all the loves, and are really truly GREAT dogs! It was never our intention to keep them this long but I was also not willing for them to go to just anyone. These are two powerful, smart, highly skilled breeds and if you are not familiar they will quickly outsmart you. Will require an experienced owner.
