Bellevue Doberman Work Kennel

We are based in Belfast, Northern Ireland and have owned Dobermans for 26 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. We also have a small security business were we use our dogs in the security sector to guard and protect premises in Belfast and throughout northern Ireland. We also guard workshops in county Monahan, Ireland.

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 4 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.

Although we have imported several Doberman over the years, there were a few that did not make the grade. They have either been weak in character, didn't work or just unsuitable for us.

My kennel is a working kennel. All our dogs are working, imported, cropped and docked dogs and must work. They are well used to guarding solo, in pairs or with a handler. My dogs are also walked on the lead mostly together every day. They also run off the lead and I do some kind of training with them every day. Although my dogs are working dogs, my kids, wife, family and especially my sister Kathy take care of, play and spoil them. We are also lucky to live below a beautiful hill and forest with streams that my dogs play on together, so its not all work and no play. We also have our own training ground that we use at least twice a week.

We have built vehicles not just to carry the dogs but to carry most of our training equipment and equipment for our security business (cameras, movement sensors, lights etc). Our own vans have at least 3 or 4 mounted cameras, DVD recording, 3 DVD screens and 1 or 2 other tricks that I will keep under cover. We also convert vans/cars build cages,security gates & doors, install cameras and windows etc etc to order.

Over the last few years we have breed beautiful working pups and will only bred from our own import dogs that we know will work,fearless,full of character, smart and very playful. Anyone lucky enough to get one of our pups will be getting a full European working pup that we can guarantee the character and working ability of the parents. As a registered breeder and a resident of Northern Ireland, all of our pups are legally docked and will go to their new homes with a solicitor's letter confirming the legality of the tail docking. Always ask for this when buying an alledgedly legally docked puppy.
