Zahli is a 1/3 of her way to her title & has picked up some class in group & in show awards.
“Zander” came to us from our good friends Pat Bullivant & Trevor Hamilton after loosing my young boy “Kaden”. His Mum is Ash, a daughter of Callum & Selene bred by us & her sire is Eros, Supreme Ch Ebondobe Eternal Fire, a multi Best in Show winner.
Zander has a fabulous pedigree, amazing temperament & is such a lovable clown, a typical happy dobie puppy. He is a substantial boy, as dobermann boys should, & already appealing to judges beating much older competition accumulating points & well on his way to his Australian champion title.
Zander won Best in Show & Puppy in Show at the Qld Dobermann Open show June 2024.

Awarded his first Junior CACIB at Spring Fair 2024 & graded “Excellent”

“Bridie” is sired by my heart dog, Josh, using frozen semen. Josh passed away in 2013. I cant believe how lucky I am to have this very special little girl. Bridie is everything I could hope for in a pup, she is vibrant, smart, lovely confirmation & movement & great personality who loves the world.
December 2018: Bridie won baby in show at her first weekend of showing & the next a baby in group. Lovely start to her show career.
May 2019: Bridie accumulating 96 points in 2 weekends including a best in group 1st & her next show her title at 9 months & 2 days old.
To say I’m super proud of this little show machine is an understatement. Thank you Josh (Grand Ch Coppertop Perfect Liaison CD TD ET) & Kendall (Copperdobe Vodkartini) for producing my gorgeous girl.
By 12 months of age Bridie had accumulated over 45 class in group awards & 25 class in show awards plus Best in show (2nd) all breeds. Class in show at 3 breed specialties in Adelaide, Qld & Melbourne.
Gaining over 800 points & 4 groups at just 16 months of age, cant wait to see what this little dynamo will achieve in the future.
March 2020 saw the end of shows for sometime due to covid. Bridie now needs just a few more points & 5 groups for her supreme title.
9 months of no shows due to Covid-19, so as soon as allowed we took a trip to SA for a cluster of shows with Bridie & Callum on board & I’m pleased to announce that Miss Bridie collected enough points for her Grand Champion title. Winning a Best in group first, Best exhibit in group at 2 shows & a best of breed on the final morning plus 2 intermediate in show awards.
Very quickly in 2021 Bridie gains her 9th group & onto a Runner Best Exhibit in show with over 1200 entries. Her Supreme title followed shortly after with Best in Group at Easter.
Bridie finished 2021 as #1 Utility Victoria, #1 Dobermann female Australia.

“Callum” is the most sweetest natured boy one could ever hope to meet. He is loved by everyone who meets him.
He began his show career at Easter 2019 & from there has amazed us with his fabulous results. In just 4 months & competing against his stunning half sister Bridie, accumulated over 350 points which included 4 x Best exhibit in group, Runner up Best Exhibit in show & Runner up in Group plus numerous class in group & in show awards & Best in Open Show all breeds at his first show in Qld, where we stayed for the winter months. Up to November 2019 he has massed over 600 points & 8 Best in group awards at just 15 months of age. I believe the best is yet to come for this amazing young man. After cancellation of all dog shows in March, Callum needs just 2 more groups & less than 200 points for his supreme title. We look forward to getting back in the ring to finish off this prestigious title.
After a 10 month lay off December 2020 saw us do a trip to SA & Callum picking up group #9.
Callum gains his final group for his supreme title & then onto win Runner-up Best exhibit in show then backs it up with another group the next day….. So proud of this very handsome & adorable boy!
Callum is only shown occasionally now but will be seen at all the specialties where he always seems to leave his mark!

“Keely” is the gorgeous little daughter of Bridie & Kye. A live wire that loves life & everything in it.
Attending her first royal took out 1st Puppy sweepstakes, Puppy of breed & selected into the final 4 for Utility Puppy. A wonderful result for this sweet girl.
Keely attained her champion title February 2024 aged 14 mths & 1 day.
“Havana” is another Callum & Selene daughter & very much a live wire with 2 speeds…..Stop & Go! She is the happiest girl & loves everyone & everything.

“Ash” is a very sweet girl & loves her cuddles on the couch. A daughter of Callum & Selene of substance with a beautiful head piece, something sadly missing in the breed these days.
Due to covid Ash only began her show career in August 22 a the age of 16 months. Winning Junior in show at the DCNSW specialty under dobermann judge Ms Mariko Harase (Japan)
Ash is owned by Pat Bullivant & came to Melbourne in December 2022 & after 2 months of showing gained her Australian champion title. She was a joy to show & to live with. Thank you to Pat for sending Ash to us for that short time, we loved having her.
Ash had her first litter September 2023 sired by Supreme Ch Ebondobe Eternal Fire. 4 kids in the show ring, Zander, Zahli & Brody. Watch out for these lovely kids as their campaign begins.
“Kye” is owned and loved by Dianna Argy and Angela Mundy in Canberra, ACT.
“Kaden” is a Bridie & Kye son born December 2022. He is full of energy & personality so together with his sister “Keely” they make a great pair & great company for each other. Dubbed the Special “K’s” due to their extra special parents & their achievements so we hope they will follow in mum & dad’s footsteps.
Sadly Kaden died on the 9th July 2023 after eating some bedding even though he was at the vets very quickly. He endured 2 botched surgeries & then admitted to Casey emergency but devastatingly could not be saved. We are all devasted!!
Eadie’s first show was the DCV specialty winning Minor in show (Nov 2016)
Her first all breeds saw her win reserve bitch & RUBOB from the puppy class & a few weeks later reserve bitch & Puppy in show, qualifying her for the puppy of the year competition.
Eadie gains her points at her first show in junior & only her 3rd show. Challenge & RUBOB & junior in group under dobe specialist Mrs Gwen Ford.
Her champion title came relatively easy with being a consistent BOB winner, many under international judges.
Eadie returned to show ring as a neuter & quickly gained her neuter title winning numerous Neuter in Show, Runner-up Neuter in show & Neuter in group awards at both dobe specialties & all breeds shows. Exclusively shown by 9 year old Imogen, my grand daughter, who intends to gain her grand neuter title.
True to Imogen’s determination Eadie gained the final points to now be known as a Grand Neuter Champion aged 7 years.
