About Us
Melinda Noffsinger is a second-generation breeder located in Northeast Ohio, with a deep passion for researching the longevity, temperament, and European lineage of the Doberman breed. Her commitment to ethical and responsible breeding practices traces back to her childhood, when she assisted her father with his own breeding program.
​
Together with her husband Josh, Melinda is dedicated to maintaining a breeding program centered around two philosophies: “excellence over volume” and “ongoing family engagement”. Instead of producing numerous litters, they carefully plan two to three litters each year to ensure every puppy receives the highest level of care, attention, and proper foundation for a successful future.
​
This approach benefits their program in two key ways: it allows Melinda, Josh, and their children to spend more time with their Dobermans, who are truly cherished family members, and it enables them to stay connected with the families who have adopted puppies from their past litters. Watching these puppies grow in loving homes and keeping in touch with their new families is a vital part of their program. Each family is considered an extended member of the JM Dobermans community.
​
Staying involved with the families of their Dobermans, offering ongoing support, and witnessing how their dogs grow into loving family companions, working dogs, or service dogs, gives Melinda and Josh invaluable insights. This feedback ensures that their Doberman pedigrees—along with their exceptional temperaments, learning abilities, and loyalty—set them apart from other breeders.
​
At JM Dobermans, we value all feedback from our extended family of dog owners. It helps us continue refining our program to ensure the highest standards of health, longevity, and temperament. Our ultimate goal is to produce well-rounded, healthy Dobermans while maintaining strong, lifelong connections with our puppy owners and providing support throughout the years.
