The thirteenth birthday of my wondeful little girl "Sars".
She is one in a million, a successful multi-Best In Show winner on the Sydney/Newcastle circuit and a consistently strong performer at Breed Specialties. As well, she has produced even more successful, top performing offspring, with many BIS All Breeds and Breed Specialty winners amongst them. "Sars" is the dam of three multi- BIS winning Grand Champions and five Australian Champions and is Grand-dam of yet another two multi-BIS winning Grand Champions. Together "Sars", her daughter "Jazz" and her grandson "Jesse", have occupied the position of No 1 Dobermann nationally from 1994 in the National Dog magazine National Dog of the Year quest through until its discontinuation in 2001.

So naturally it is "Sars" who features on our Home Page.

"Morgan" won the bitch Challenge both days and went Best Puppy In Group on Sunday under the same judge who awarded Jesse his 26th Best In Show the previous weekend. Obviously he is going for type! She now has 30 Challenge points and is setting the example for her littermates!

He was the last surviving Champion male from "Sars's" two litters to Ch Dobeherr Bright N Early - which produced three Grand Champions (Hot Aphrodite, Gloom Chaser and Light Fingers, all multi-BIS winners and two of them multi- Specialty winners) and three Champions (Fallen Angel, Kir Royale and Lord Fury.). His passing marks the end of an era.
