SONZA

Sonza Dobermanns have been showing and breeding quality Dobermanns since 1980. Our dogs have correct Dobermann temperaments making excellent family dogs and loyal companions. The bloodlines we have carefully selected include some of the best European, North American, South American and older Australian bloodlines that have excelled in the show ring and in dog sports such as obedience and tracking. Our breeding philosophy focuses on soundness, health, longevity and conformation with each generation being better than the last. We are committed to the preservation of the Dobermann breed. We are proactive in genetic testing including DCM1, DCM2, vWD and UC Davis VGL Genetic Diversity testing for all of our breeding dogs. Over the years we have campaigned many dogs to conformation and obedience titles. John is a Dogs Australia CCD and CD obedience judge and Utility and Gundogs conformation judge. Enquiries regarding our dogs, or the Dobermann breed more broadly, are warmly welcomed. Phone calls and emails only please; no SMS text messages. We are situated on a rural property near Canberra ACT. Sonza Dobermanns strongly advises only buying puppies from Dogs Australia breeders. Beware of puppies from breeders who are not members of a Dogs Australia affiliate (eg. Dogs ACT, Dogs NSW). If we are not expecting puppies, please contact the Dobermann Club of NSW or the Dobermann Club of Victoria for referral to other reputable breeders.

Our family has been breeding Golden Retrievers since the late 1990s. Our goal is to breed traditional Golden Retrievers with a focus on soundness, health, longevity and temperament. Our dogs are ideally suited to be family companions with confident and friendly dispositions and the intelligence to excel in disciplines such as obedience, tracking and agility. We place great value on type and conformation and our dogs pedigrees contain several Specialty Best In Show winners, Grand and Supreme Champions, and imports from England, Scandinavia and elsewhere in Europe. Puppies are raised in our home on our rural property outside of Canberra with every effort made to optimise their early socialisation and behavioural development. All of our dogs and bitches have been hip & elbow scored, have ophthalmologist certificates and sound hearts. John is a Dogs Australia CCD and CD obedience judge and Utility and Gundogs conformation judge. We breed 1-2 Golden Retriever litters per year. General enquiries welcomed by phone call and email only please; no SMS text messages. Please note that due to an overwhelming number of enquiries we are not maintaining a waiting list at this time. Sonza Golden Retrievers strongly advises only buying puppies from Dogs Australia breeders. Beware of puppies from breeders who are not members of a Dogs Australia affiliate (eg. Dogs ACT, Dogs NSW). If we are not expecting puppies, please contact your state Golden Retriever Club for breeder referral.
