Crystal came to our home on April 2nd, 2016. She was born from a long line of Dobermans bred not only for high drive and workability, but for health and longevity as well.  She brought to our program the temperament, conformation, and health/longevity perfectly suited to our ultimate goal of focusing on the TOTAL Doberman, encompassing form AND function.  As she grew and matured with us, the classic Doberman elegance and beauty of her dam, UKC Champion "Cuda" became apparent.  The intelligence and drive of her sire’s UKC Working Titles made her incredibly quick AND eager to learn. She was the embodiment of the sleek, grace, elegant stature, and beautiful soul that was the perfect addition to our breeding program and our focus on the TOTAL Doberman.    

Crystal sailed through Basic Obedience and Manners as well as Better than Basics in the fall/winter of 2016.  In compliance with our contractual obligations to her breeder, Benchmark K9, as well as our commitment and support of DPCA responsible breeder guidelines, Crystal received her AKC CGC (Canine Good Citizen) on 01/28/2017 at Suzanne’s Dog Training and was in training for AKC titles in Obedience, Rally, Scent/Nose work and more. In June of 2019, Suzanne and Crystal earned Crystal’s Rally Novice title.

Crystal and Missy completed training and passed their TDI Therapy Dog Test/Evaluation. They volunteered at local hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, Public Schools, Colleges, and wherever else there was a need for "Paws for Love". Already having earned their AKC THDN (Therapy Dog Novice), they continued their goal of 'giving back' blessings and love, as well as educating people on the true temperament of Dobermans.

After passing the DPCA’s Working Aptitude Evaluation in September of 2018, Crystal became eligible for and received her CHIC number, a VERY special testament to perfection AND our breeding goals.

With heavy hearts and after complications due to her Mesenchymal Neoplasia, we laid Crystal to rest on March 21, 2025, surrounded by family and friends. She will forever live on in our hearts.
