Cockrell's Irondog Kennels

Cockrell’s Irondog Kennels breeds Doberman pinschers in Edgefield, SC, in the Midlands near Columbia. Chris Cockrell has been breeding for more than a decade and holds membership in the American Kennel Club, with health screening for hip dysplasia and cardiac issues on every dog. Breeding stock is selected for sound structure, stable temperament and longevity to promote well-adjusted companions.

Puppies grow up indoors with the family and spend time on fenced pastures, receiving gentle handling, basic obedience training and varied enrichment activities. All dogs follow a balanced nutrition plan developed with a veterinarian and benefit from regular veterinary checks and early health evaluations.

The kennels are situated on a shaded rural property where dogs enjoy daily exercise and social interaction with other breeds and local visitors. Several dogs from recent litters have earned working certifications in obedience trials and therapy visits through regional programs. Clients comment on clear communication, steady temperaments and the ongoing support offered by Cockrell’s Irondog Kennels.
