The Llewellyn Dobe
Llewellyn began in Canada as a result of a love for the magnificent Dobermann Pinscher



It was the 60's, when hip dysplasia, timidity, Von Willebrand, wobblers and cardiomyopathy were foreign words to the Dobe world.

It was before the skyrocketing popularity of the breed with its back yard breeders and fast-buck mills introduced instability of temperament and health.

It was before the clamour for "Champion" prodigy filled the gene pool with that of the reigning "beauty contest" winners, while other dogs were not allowed to pass on their potentially healthier, more stable traits

The "old man" and his Working Dobes circa 1975

Back then, we established several unrelated lines, which allowed us to avoid introducing questionable blood lines to our kennel.

We successfully retained the steady temperament and solid body of the "old time" working Dobe.
