| Dear Doberman Lover, Welcome to our Kennel Page! Our passion for the breed started a long time ago - almost 20 years ago, to be precise. But this passion obtained a familiar shape of a Dutch/Russian bred, black/tan doberman male in 1994. And since then we have been showing all over the world, training, breeding and sharing experience. Our goal is not as utopic as that of most breeders that try to breed "The Total Dobe". We believe that breeding should be realistic and results achievable. Thus, we put a lot of effort into breeding and importing dogs with excellent temperaments and of sound construction. We love strong bodies with good angulation, short backs and correct heads with very strong jaws. Of great importance are also the width and depth of the chest as well as the bone density. So, basically, it's an intelligent dog with a very strong but harmonious look - that's what we love! These are our goals. And our first D-litter is a fine example of how set goals can be reached. Our breeding Ethics is different from the majority of American breeders because most of our valuable show and training experiences came from Europe. We believe that traveling several thousand miles across the world for training or breeding is worth the result and expense. We also believe that importing a few pups with valuable bloodlines doesn't necessarily mean brokering if this is done for the betterment of the kennel or the breed itself. We also think the breeder has to be honest about the quality of his/her breeding not only with the buyers but with himself/herself as well. There is nothing worse in the dog world than illusions or deceipt. We believe that Doberman is a working breed and our great interest is in maintaining the working talents and skills of this breed. We participate in IPO, VPG and ZTP Trials. Our E-litter was bred for the temperament and working skills. Pups started showing their outstanding intelligence and trainability at only 5 weeks of age! And now we have high hopes for our F-litter that surprised us with 5 gorgeous heads and super-jaws. What a result and all in just one litter! We pick breeding combinations based on our lengthy show and training experience. Breeders who never showed or trained a dog will not be able to pick the right partners, nor could/should they make claims regarding show or work potential of the litter. Breeding titles and names are not a guarantee of quality. But the breeder's intuition, knowledge and experience are what creates a top-quality litter and top-quality dogs. How many breeders can boast that?! "Canis Maximus" (which means "The Great Dog" in Latin) works only with best European bloodlines. We train, show and do health tests on all our dogs used in breeding. We breed rarely, carefully selecting the stock. Most of our dogs (very few of them) are co-owned but bred under our kennel name. We prefer it this way as the dogs are placed in families of their own and their puppies are raised like babies, with love and care. We also fight against greedy commercial breeders. It's a long and ungrateful fight with no winners. But by sharing valuable experience, breeding top quality dogs and contributing to such organizations as ASPCA, we believe we do good to the dog population. Enjoy the website! - CM |
