“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.

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.

“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.

2022:

Bridie wins Best of Breed at ACT Royal & brother Callum CC dog/RUBOB & Kye res cc dog.  My granddaughter, Imogen wins 1st place in junior handlers with Bridie.

Finally after 2 years Bridie gets to a specialty & wins Best Exhibit in Show DCV under dobermann specialist, Mrs Lynne Harwood.

“Savannah” is another one of my sweet girls, very much like her cousin, Paris. She loves to put her arms up around my neck and snuggle in for long cuddles, except that she doesn’t realise how big she has grown.

Savannah’s debut to the show ring was very pleasing, winning the Puppy bitch class/Opposite Puppy in Show at both Dobermann Open and championship shows on November 1st. Her brother Jag beating her for Puppy in Show.

Savannah’s first show since shown at the DCV specialty a year ago and she takes out the ultimate Best in Show under international judge Mrs Hilary Partridge-Duckham (UK).

She has had to wait in line whilst Kendra accumulated points toward her grand championship title but we made an exception for the specialty and so glad we did.

  • Savannah has won 1st place in the intermediate bitch class at ALL shows, bar one, (3—5 entrants), and been awarded reserve challenge bitch at almost every show until attaining her first all breed challenge points on the 27th December. Her brother Jag beating her for best of breed on this occasion.
  • 28th December: Best of Breed
  • Dobermann National 2010

    Dobermann National held in Sydney over Easter 2010 saw Savannah win 1st place in the A/Bred Bitch class and at the Host Show on the same weekend 1st again in A/bred Bitch and Reserve Challenge bitch

  • 24th April: Savannah wins her second Best in show at the S.A. Specialty under Mr R. Velez-Pico from Peurto Rico, this also gave her her champion title. First points gained with BISS Melbourne and finishing with BISS Adelaide, surely something of a record.
  • 29th May, 2010: Passes her Endurance test with Ease
