Our family purchased a Doberman puppy from Joy's July 1st litter.

After the recent loss of our dog Paisley of fourteen years, my family and I weren't really looking for another dog at the time. We were still grieving about Paisley's passing.

But when I viewed the LavelleDobermans web site and seen the Doby's, and I told my wife about them, we could not resist being drawn to these wonderfully gorgeous puppies. So my wife and I got in touch with the Lavelle's the very next day..!
(Joy and her husband Tim made everything else effortless.)

In my opinion Joy and Tim's overwhelming love and respect for there dogs is a wonderful breath of fresh air. My wife says: "She (Joy) genuinely cares for the future of these remarkable puppies and if you don't pick that up from conversing with her the very first time you call and talk to her, then you must have dialed the wrong number...!"

Oreo, is a beautiful black & tan female puppy and 3 month old now. We call her "The K9 Gypsy Princess" - Oreo. Oreo simply stood out amongst her siblings for us by rubbing and licking her way into our heart's (she picked us I would say.)

From her very first walk around the neighborhood, to the first time she visited with our vet she has gotten nothing but compliments on her coat, demeanor and how healthy she is.

We have a 19yr old son who is multiply handicapped with Cerebral Palsy and she just can't help jumping up into his bed and taking a nap with him.
Oreo walks and plays endlessly around with our two year old grandson when he visit's with us. And is my wife's constant companion when I'm at work.
Knowing you have an animal that is not only a source of protection and companionship, but a faithful friend is simply one of the joys of having her in our lives. "And we feel Blessed...!"

Thank you so much Joy & Tim.
