History

OF DOBERMANNS DE RIZZI

	Island of Mallorca The island of Majorca which we are proud to call our home has been for many years the hub to a large group of Dobermann lovers .
*Ebo .v.d. Groote Maat*	It was here that dogs such as "Ebo V.D. Groote Maat" began a career that has proven to be instrumental in improving and transforming the breed to todays standards. This excellent dog could have been ours, but his destiny was to be another, that of becoming one of the best known stud dogs. In 1974 we acquired our first Dobie, Bronson de los Valientes , a beautiful 5 month old puppy who showed us just how sharp his teeth were on the first night by completely destroying his mattress.
*Doto de Candilandya*	Our next beautiful pair of puppies: Etina & Doto de Candilandya came to us from a friend and another great lover of the breed, Mr. Valentin Alvarez who was the founder President of the Spanish Dobermann Club. These two puppies were to launch us into the show circuits where we obtained very good results in Palma de Mallorca, Madrid, Barcelona, Igualada, Tarrega etc.
*Fasko v. Krassum*	Our good friend Gerardo Meyer was to introduce us to our next Dobie, a magnificent adult male : Fasko v. Krassum. Fasko´s time with us was short as he was to leave us tragically in a dramatic accident. (We still remember you Fasko).
*Lord Dayan v. Franckenhorst*	Our next adventure was to take us to The Netherlands in search of a male dog. It was here that we had the enormous pleasure to meet Mrs. Dermont (Van Neerlands Stam) & Mrs. Franquemont (V. Franckenhorst). During this trip to Holland we ended up in Italy after driving over 5.000 kms in four days to collect our next Dobie, Lord Dayan v. Franckenhorst who was to sire a number of excellent dogs such as Ch. Oto de los Valientes.
*Earl v. Forell*	Another exciting episode took us to Northern France to mate our bitch Etina de Candilandya with World V. Ch. Earl v. Forell and to meet with Msr. Demangeat (De la Morliere) .
*Berry v. Douwsbosch*	In the early 80´s, we were lucky enough to acquire two dogs that have left their mark on our lives, Berry v. Douwbosch and Anuska v. Herr Stephanitz. With these two magnificent dogs we were to obtain some of our most rewarding triumphs. The loss of both these friends was so great that it has taken us 18 years to come back to the world of the Dobermann.
*Anuska v. Herr Stephanitz*	Come as You Are Frou Frou with Alborada Peggy another member of our family
*Pepa de Swarlazd*	Our return has been blessed as we have had the enormous good luck to contact and meet two excellent breeders, Claudio Rodríguez and Dianela Fiala who have both reaped great triumphs in these last few years with their breed names : *"Swarlazd"* & "Come as You Are" From these renowned breeders we have acquired our lovely girls : Pepa Swarlazd ,Come as You Are Frou Frou also Come as You Are Haina & last but not least, Tila de Swarlazd.
The story continues........... Looking back on the year 2008, we have taken a walk down memory lane to review our return to the Dobermann world just 8 short years ago after a lengthy absence and are proud to offer you some photos in our improvised albums that quantify briefly our successes and all the good friends that we have had the pleasure of making.
