Hochburg K9 is a family-owned and operated business based in Escondido, CA, specializing in Doberman breeding, training, boarding, nutrition, and ear crop aftercare.
Owner Mike Sucharda brings over 30 years of hands-on experience working with and caring for Dobermans. He’s highly respected in the Doberman community, known for his expertise in working dog training and ear crop aftercare.
Meet Mike — a seasoned dog training expert, breeder, and ear crop posting specialist.
As a third-generation Doberman owner, breeder, and professional dog trainer, Mike offers more than 31 years of specialized experience in Doberman training and development. His expertise was established long before the digital era, built through decades of hands-on work, refined techniques, and a deep understanding of the Doberman breed.
Mike founded his training program to address a significant need within an oversaturated industry—one in which many trainers lack the dedication, consistency, and breed-specific knowledge required to develop reliable, well-balanced Dobermans. His approach is rooted in proven methods, ethical breeding practices, and a genuine commitment to preserving the integrity and working capabilities of the Doberman Pinscher.
Driven not by recognition but by a lifelong passion for the breed, Mike continues to provide clients with exceptional training, guidance, and support. His mission remains steadfast: to elevate the standards of Doberman training and to deliver dogs that embody confidence, intelligence, and exemplary temperament.
As owner and the face of Hochburg K9, he’s your main point of contact for all things training. Whether you’re shaping behavior or refining obedience, Mike’s the one people trust with their most challenging Doberman questions.
