Catherine

Over 20 years ago, I fell in love with the Doberman, and that passion has never left me!

I completed training in canine education and behaviour, which allowed me to deepen my knowledge and work with dogs of many different temperaments, including some with significant behavioural challenges. For more than 10 years, I was also deeply involved in Doberman rescue, fostering, working with, and helping rehabilitate dogs that had been abandoned or were at risk of euthanasia.

This experience profoundly shaped my perspective on dog breeding.

​

For a long time, the behavioural problems I encountered actually made me hesitant to become a breeder. Then, an encounter with a European-line Doberman led me to discover different bloodlines and consider the possibility of developing my own breeding program.

​

I spent nearly two years studying pedigrees and bloodlines to find my first foundation female. This research also opened my eyes to the many serious health challenges facing the breed and sparked a genuine passion for genetics.

​

Over the years, I have continued my education through courses and training in canine behaviour, dog training, various dog sports, genetics, and canine nutrition, particularly to better understand the nutritional needs of my dogs and breeding females.

The relationship between genetics, temperament, and learned behaviours is something I'm especially passionate about. I love learning from specialists in different fields, but also from seasoned veterans who have spent decades working with dogs and whose hands-on experience is an invaluable source of knowledge. I strongly believe in combining science, observation, and practical experience while maintaining a critical mindset.

​

Today, this curiosity and these years of experience guide my breeding decisions. My goal is to preserve the qualities of the versatile Doberman, with particular attention to health, temperament, conformation, and working ability.

​

To me, being a breeder is, above all, a responsibility to my dogs, their future families, and the future of the breed.
