AKC/UDC Champion Treasure Seeker's Black Pearl, IGP3, ROM, CGC
Grayson is a standard-sized, square and elegant male with heavy bone. He has super toy and food drive, and with his nice angulation, he is very athletic. Grayson is affectionate and biddable, and a bit of a party boy (he's very social). He is a coming along nicely in his schutzhund work, demonstrating good tracking skills, energetic obedience, and nice deep grips. Grayson progressed from earning his IGP1 on December 7, 2024, to earning his IGP3 on October 5, 2025, all in less than a year! We hope to continue training toward higher levels of schutzhund competition, as well as alternate activities in the coming years.
In addition to schutzhund/IGP training, Grayson also participates in AKC conformation shows. He recently won a five-point major at the Nashville KC show in Murfreesboro, TN on October 24, 2025, and he now needs only one more major win (requires winning over enough dogs to earn 3,4, or 5 points at a show) to complete his AKC championship.
We hope that he will follow in his mother's paw prints and earn his AKC championship along with the IGP3.

HEALTH TEST RESULTS
Potential purchasers should become educated about the genetic disorders that are most common in the Doberman. Responsible breeders will strenuously test their breeding stock. Some tests, once performed, are considered good for the life of the dog. For the Doberman, these one time tests are hip/elbows, VWD, PDK4, RD, and other genetic screenings. Other tests should be repeated annually or prior to each breeding. For the Doberman, the tests that should be repeated annually or before breeding include complete thyroid panel, eye evaluation, liver/kidney blood panel, echo, and 24-hour Holter monitor (EKG).
