Bravadobe Dobermanns is situated in Western Australia in the Swan Valley wine growing district on a beautiful three and a half acres, nestled against Suzannah Brook.

Bravadobe Dobermanns is a breeder of and home to Grand Champions, Multi Best in Show and Best in Specialty award winning Dobermanns, but most of all they are our beloved companions.  We only ever have a small number of Dobermanns residing at home at any one time, as this ensures that they become part of the family rather than a kennel dog. Many of our Dobermanns have found loving homes around the country and overseas and are competitively shown and trialled with a great amount of success.

Bravadobe Dobermanns foundation is “Chilli” (Grand Champion Tornadobe Ruby Tuesday CD ROM) who was the top show bitch for WA in 1997, 1998 and 2000, as well as being awarded the prestigious award of Dobermann Club of WA Inc (DCWA) Dobermann of the Year in 1998.  ”Chilli” is a multi Best in Show and Best in Specialty Show winner and was the first Grand Champion Dobermann bitch in WA, as well as the first brown and tan bitch in Australia to obtain such a title.  She was retired from the show ring at four years of age and spent the rest of her years as the “Queen of Couch Potatoes” overseeing and keeping a watchful eye over the young Bravadobe babies.  “Chilli” has produced numerous champions including a grand champion for us, being the stunning Best in Show and Best in Specialty Show winning bitch, “Brandi” (Grand Champion Bravadobe Bed Of Roses).  “Brandi” was number the one Dobermann in WA under the DCWA  “Top Show Dobermann” competition for 2006, Pedigree’s Top Utility Dog for 2006 in WA and only the second bitch to gain grand championship status in the state.

Another significant contributor to the success of Bravadobe Dobermanns was our beloved “Chase” (Grand Champion Dassin Cut To The Chase) who was sired by the incredible American Champion Winmar’s American Gigolo Dassin (Imp USA).  “Chase” had established himself as a consistent challenge, best of breed and best in group winner in the show ring and obtained his Championship title in fine style by going Best In Show at the Ladies Kennel Club in September 2002 at 16 months of age. “Chase” went onto to become a multi Best in Show winner at All Breeds Championship Shows as well being awarded Best in Show at the 2004 DCWA Specialty Open Show. In 2002 ”Chase” also won the DCWA Inc awards for “Best Show Dobermann” and “Best Up and Coming Dobermann” and thereafter has been awarded “Top Show Doberman” by the DCWA Inc for 2003 and 2004, equalling the record of three consecutive years.  He was also Pedigree’s Top Utility Dog in Western Australia during 2004 and was awarded more best in groups than any other utility dog during 2004.  On the 27th of March 2005, “Chase” obtained his last required challenge points to obtain his Grand Championship title.  “Chase” is the sire of multiple champions, including three grand champions and Best in Specialty Show award winning progeny. His legacy will live on in the outstanding kids he produced both for us, such as our very own beautiful girl “Bliss” (Champion Bravadobe Divine Destiny), and multiple best in show and specialty winner “Cruise” (Grand Champion Bravadobe Fire At Will) who was the number one Dobermann in WA for 2007 as awarded by the DCWA.

“Chase’s” daughter “Paige” (Australian & New Zealand Grand Champion Cimbria Its All About Me) was kindly given to us by Brett Christie not long after “Chase” passed away.  Arriving at our home at 17 months of age, “Paige” gained her title in less than two months with her final points being obtained after winning Best in Specialty Show at the NSW Dobermann Club Championship show under breed specialist and DPCA President Dr Sam Burke.  She was handled to perfection and to her title by our close and dear friend Christine Moore.  Since then “Paige” has made the trip across the ocean to team up with Samantha Hedges & Stacy Donaldson of Parima Dobermanns and in less than two months the team was awarded a Best in All Breeds Show, Runner Up Best in All Breeds Show and multi Best in Groups to obtain her New Zealand Championship title.  “Paige” has since gone on to become a multi Best in Specialty Show winner, being awarded Best in Show under breed specialist Chris Sykes (Australia) at the 2006 Dominion Doberman Club Championship Show.  2008 saw the arrival of “Paige’s” beautiful daughter “Halo” (Parima Its Front Paige News At Bravadobe – AI) imported from our good friends Sam and Stacy in New Zealand.  “Halo” is sired by one of the breed legends, “Eddie” (American Champion Cambria’s Cactus Cash), the all time top producing sire from the USA.

“Phoenix” (Champion Bravadobe Voodoo Magic) is an outstanding large male who was awarded his first Best in Show winner at the age of 16 months is the result of a long awaited line breeding between Chase (Am Ch Winmars American Gigolo Dassin – Imp USA) and our multi best in show winner “Diva” (Champion Dassin Diva Las Vegas). “Phoenix” success as a youngster continued with his award of Challenge Dog and Runner Up Best in Show at the 2007 Dobermann Club of Queensland Specialty and Best in Group at the 2007 Winter Festival under international judges and has since gone on to become an all breeds multi best in show winner.  One of “Phoenix’s” show career highlights was being awarded Best in Show at the 2010 Dobermann Club of NSW Specialty which breed specialist judge Mrs Judith Brown from Brimor Dobermans in the USA chose “Phoenix” as her best exhibit over an entry of 159 Dobermanns.  With the fantastic pedigree that “Phoenix” has behind him, we are confident that he will enjoy the same success in the show ring as his parents and become an integral part in the future of Bravadobe Dobermanns. “Phoenix” now resides with the Luxford family and whilst being seriously spoilt, he will be continued to be seriously campaigned by his co-owner Emma and has already produced champion progeny with numerous others on their way.

We can not thank our good friends from Dassin Kennels, Christine Moore and Roy Mallinder enough for giving us the opportunity to  utilize Chase (American Champion Winmars American Gigolo Dassin – Imp USA) in our breeding program.  Chase is undoubtedly the BEST credentialed Dobermann to land on the Australian shores and who at limited stud has already sired 30 champions, 4 grand champions and 9 best in show winners with many more on their way.

“Kaos” (Champion Bravadobe Pure Kaos AI) won her first challenge just into the minor class and was awarded challenge bitch from the puppy class at the 2007 Perth Royal Show and who along with all her litter mates obtained their championship title before the age of 16 months.   Even before “Kaos” turned one she was a multi class in show winner and continues to catch the eye of the Australian and international breed specialists winning puppy in show at the DCWA 2007 specialty held in September and then went onto win the puppy bitch class at the 12th Dobermann National in Melbourne in November, only to be beaten for puppy in show by her brother “Keno”.  “Kaos” is the result of an artificial insemination by “Miles” (American Champion Wyndems Knights Quest), who we imported semen from  the USA due his amazing pedigree and health statistics,  out of “Bliss” (Champion Bravadobe Divine Destiny). Heavily lined bred on one of the breed’s greats, American Champion Rhady’s Sail The Seven Seas, “Kaos” will be a significant contributor to the ongoing breeding success of Bravadobe.

“Keno” (Champion Bravadobe Pure Anarchy AI) has proven himself as a consistent winner under both Australian and International specialty judges and has won Best in Show awards at both All Breeds and Specialty Championship Shows.  His awards include Best Puppy in Show at the 12th Dobermann National under breed specialist Ms D Butler (UK),  Australia’s number #1 Dobermann Puppy for Australia in 2007, awarded challenge dog at the 2008 Perth Royal Show by breed specialist Mr L Silva from Brazil and at the Dobermann Club of WA’s 2008 Speciality “Keno” won challenge dog and runner up best in show under Mrs E Ribas Silva from Charleston Dobermanns in Brazil.   “Keno” has also received an invitation to Western Australia’s gala event, the Contest of Winners, however the highlight of this amazing dogs career came in April 2010 when “Keno” was awarded Best in Show at the 2010 Australian Dobermann National over an entry of 186 Dobermanns from around the country under international breed specialist Mrs D Young from Darwin Dobermans in the USA.  “Keno” is co-owned, conditioned, loved and cared for by our close friends Jason, Shelley and Chase Wildman.

One of our other shining stars is “Savvy” (Champion Bravadobe Achtung Baby) a stylish and cheeky girl who has a zest for life and does everything at a hundred miles an hour. “Savvy” is sired by “Klaus” (Champion Bravadobe Rebel Assault) and her dam is the gorgeous Best in Show and Best in Specialty Show winning bitch, “Brandi” (Grand Champion Bravadobe Bed Of Roses WAC). “Savvy” is the result of a long awaited line breeding on her grandmother and our foundation girl “Chilli” (Grand Champion Tornadobe Ruby Tuesday CD ROM) achieved her title by being awarded Runner Up Bets in Show at 13 months of age and was Australia’s #1 Rising Star for the breed  in 2008.  In 2009 “Savvy” was Australia’s number Dobermann bitch and was awarded by the Dobermann Club of WA Top Show Dog for the year.  She also received an invitation to Western Australia’s prestigous Contest of Winners gala event and is currently nearing her Grand Championship title.

March 2009 saw the arrival of Viper (Vaydee Jesse James) imported from Croatia into Australia.  Representing some of Europe’s top lines, including his sire, the top producing Fedor Del Nasi, Viper brings to us a well balanced and stable working temperament, outstanding bone, magnificent colouring and great health statistics.  We are hopeful and enthusiastic that Viper will pass on his great attributes to his offspring over the years to come.
