Dawn with Paradise and Solitaire
About Us
Active in the sport of purebred dogs since 1987, Ms Dawn D Danner CVT of Portland Oregon USA whelped her first litter of Doberman puppies under the Sunset prefix in 1991. Breeding, on average, a litter about every other year has yielded a small yet successful breeding program. A litter is considered when we are ready to continue on with a bitch of equal or better quality than what we are already blessed with. Focusing on temperment, health and structure, our goal is simply to improve the breed through careful selection and evaluation of potential sires/dams resulting in quality of dogs - not quantity of litters. An individual's health status is obtained via complete health testing results including OFA ratings for hips/elbows, current echo and holter reports for heart, current blood profiles for thyroid/liver and Vet Gen DNA results for vWD.
Professionally, Dawn graduated from Pacific University with a Bachelor of Science majoring in Biology and a minor in chemistry. Dawn is a certified veterinary technician (CVT) at a busy small animal practice in SW Portland were she also heads the hospital as Practice Manager. She is a current board member of Mount Hood Doberman Pinscher Club (MHDPC) and chairs the club's holter monitor projects and biannual heart clinics to help stamp out DCM.
Advancing forward, Dawn joined ALBA Medical's Veterinary Division to continue the promotion of canine holter monitoring world wide thru private party ownership of units. No Doberman should die a sudden unexpected death, and no owner should have to experience such an event. Holter monitors record and report the activity that causes sudden death and are recommended to be used annually to start. Have a Heart................Holter.
Dawn is a current board member of Tualatin Kennel Club (TKC), a long term member of the Doberman Pinscher Club of America (DPCA) and part of Oregon's Veterinary Emergency Response Team (OVERT). In short, dogs are her life and Dobermans are her passion.
