Bellevue Doberman Kennel

We are based in Belfast, Northern Ireland and have owned Dobermans for 25 years. We have been lucky enough to own great dogs which are smart and keen to learn. Most of them we trained as gun dogs to hunt and retrieve but over the last 10 years or so Dobermans in Ireland and the UK are only bred for show and not for work. They might look pretty but show them a bite sleeve or a bite roll or expect them to do as Louis Doberman bred them to do and you will be disappointed, unless you look to importing a proper Doberman.

I bought a male from Poland (Eiro Pro Kennel), a female from Germany (Hellfire Kennel), a female from Italy  and a male from the Markischen Land Kennel in Germany. In addition I bred a pup from my German female and Polish male that we kept,a female from Hungary, Bonita von Pressilla and another female from Poland, Yoda (Amanda) Gold Dream

in addition to our above dogs we are part owners with 2 other import females in england and a beautiful brown male in france.

The imports don’t just look different with the cropped ears but they are smarter, fearless and have loads of personality.

I hope next year to buy a male that has ZTP or IP01 ECT.

My dogs are walked on the lead mostly together every day, they are also run off the lead and I do some kind of training with them every day. I am lucky to live below a beautiful hill and forest with streams that my dogs play on together.

I hope in the future to breed Dobermans back into Ireland that have full health tests, loads of personality and a treat to own for many years.
