Welcome to NWR Kennels—home of elite, health-tested Dobermans.
Located in Shepherd, Texas, just an hour north of Houston off Highway 59, we specialize in Doberman Pinschers in a range of stunning colors and markings. We proudly serve clients across the United States and internationally. All of our dogs are registered and genetically health-tested through Embark. We also offer a carefully selected number of Doberman crosses to help reintroduce diversity into the breed; these dogs are registered as well.
We began breeding Dobermans in 2013 and expanded into additional breeds in 2020. As an off-standard color breeder, we work with both American and European lines, with a strong focus on ethics, structure, and sound temperament.
Our program has been at the forefront of several historic color discoveries, each verified through proper genetic testing:
- In August 2019, we proved the existence of the Melanistic Cream Doberman (recognized as “white” by the AKC). We established the first confirmed melanistic example.
- In January 2022, we produced the first Melanistic Clear Red Dobermans and the first Melanistic Platinum Dobermans.
- In August 2022, we produced the first Cream and White Merle Doberman.
- In August of 2025 we were the first to get Merle Dobermans back to 100% Doberman through embark.
- In September 2025, we introduced the first Melanistic Cream and White Harlequin Doberman and the first Melanistic Platinum Harlequin Doberman.
We take immense pride in our dogs, our ethics, and the history we are writing within this breed. While we did not create the first Clear Red Doberman, we did produce the first melanistic version.
At NWR Kennels, every pairing is intentional, every dog is cherished, and every litter is a step forward in our vision for healthier, more diverse, and truly exceptional Dobermans. We look forward to many more years of sharing our dogs with discerning owners around the world.
