We owned Dobermanns for twenty seven years and have also had two
Rottweilers, both as rescue and from puppyhood. We had the Top Dobermann
in the UK 2000 Champion Manzart Black Humour at Sallate, Tommy. Not only was
Tommy an incredible showman, he was a wonderful, loving family pet who loved
nothing more than snuggling up on the sofa with his ‘partner’ Evie and their
Daughter Leila all of whom did very well in the show ring. We have trained our
dogs for both obedience and showing. We have owned Italian Spinoni for 19 years and showed three Italian Spinoni,
Grandad, Dad and Grandson. Kofi (Grandad) continues to be remembered as the
‘poster boy’ and handsome face of Dogmatic. We lost our wonderful boy, Kofi, at the age of 12 years, his son Archie at almost 11 and Archie’s Son Norman at 11 and ¾ years and we also had Bertie who was Kofi’s Great, Grand Nephew (Archie’s Cousin and Norman’s Second Cousin) and was a good friend for Norman and a link to our Boys. We now have Freddie and his Niece Gracie who are both from Poland and are the best of friends. Our dogs are, first and foremost, much loved family pets. These are our previous
and more recent show dogs:
