Welcome to Epic Dobermans
At Epic Dobermans, we are quite simply in love with the Doberman Pinscher. From the very first sight, this extraordinary breed captured my heart, and that passion has only deepened over time. I am fully committed to doing everything possible to support a strong, healthy, and enduring future for the Doberman breed.
Epic Dobermans raises quality AKC Doberman Pinschers with an unwavering emphasis on health and longevity, correct conformation (structure, appearance, and movement), protection ability (WAE certified), sound temperament, and the love and affection that make Dobermans such exceptional companions.
Our Breeding Philosophy
I have been actively involved in the Doberman community since 2010. The pedigrees behind our dogs reflect generations of excellence, with titles in Conformation, Competitive Obedience, Agility, IPO, and Service/Therapy Work. Every dog utilized in our breeding program is founded on Champion and Working-titled bloodlines.
All of our dogs are fully health-tested annually prior to each breeding, and complete health records are always available. We breed selectively and infrequently—only every few years—because when we do breed, our goal is simple: to produce the very best Dobermans in the United States.

Judging the Breed I Love
I am deeply grateful to the Doberman Pinscher Club of Florida for the incredible honor of judging the Sweepstakes at the 2026 Doberman Specialty in Brooksville, Florida—a moment I will cherish forever. It was also a privilege to join Breed Judge Javier Aguilo at this year’s specialty.
Walking into the ring, I was overwhelmed with emotion as I reflected on the past 16 years. Someone even mentioned that I never stopped smiling—and they were right. To be entrusted with judging the breed I love so deeply was truly special.
Thank you again to the Doberman Pinscher Club of Florida, and to everyone who entered and showcased their beautiful, promising puppies. Pictures below🖤🐾
Mentor & Partnership
Lastly, I am honored to share that Carol Petruzzo has been my mentor and breeding partner since 2010. Carol began her career with Doberman Pinschers in the early 1960s, through close association with one of the true pillars of our breed, Peggy Adamson of Damasyn Fame.
Carol has bred over 60 American Doberman Pinscher Champions, as well as numerous champions internationally. Her accomplishments also include multiple Dobermans titled in Obedience and Agility, including 16 ROMs and three CH MACHs. She was named DPCA Breeder of the Year in 1980, and in 2016 received the prestigious Apex and Legacy Awards from the DPCA for her outstanding contributions to the breed.
I could not have asked for a more respected mentor, co-breeder, or friend.
