My journey with Dobermanns

I began my journey with the Dobermann in 1998, when I acquired my first dog, a brown male named Alf El-Sa-Bo from a Polish bloodline. At that time I knew very little about the breed, but I immediately fell in love with its elegance, strength and noble character. Having spent many years riding horses, I felt a natural connection to a breed that demands respect, consistency and partnership.

A few years later I brought home a female from Russia, Yalla iz Slavnoi Stai, who became the true foundation of my kennel. In 2003 my first Dobermann litter was born at home, marking the beginning of the Elite House story.

From the very beginning my goal has been clear: to breed Dobermanns that combine beauty, working ability and strong character. Over the years my dogs have succeeded both in shows and working disciplines, including achievements at the IDC World Show and in IGP training.
