Becoming of Izrafel Kennel
Hello, my name is Jelena and I would like to tell you a story about the origin of Izrafel Kennel.
In my young age, I met one Dobermann and he immediately caused my admiration.
With the first money that I ever earned, working in a restaurant during the summer break, I bought my first, named Docky.
It was back in 1991 and since then they become a permanent resident of my life and heart.
Becoming acquainted with all the magnificence of their character, I completely fell in love with the breed.
Why Dobermann
Highly intelligent, courageous, quick to learn, quick to respond, self-confident, protective, people-oriented, affectionate, and sweet with loved ones are the characteristics of the Doberman that completely charmed me, as well as my family and friends.
Doberman is like an addictive snack, you simply can’t stop at just one.
In ’96 Escobar Cobra became a new member of our family and after him Igor…
Wherever I went, they went with me and we enjoyed our life together.
Dobermann Review
In 2001, I started the Dobermann Review website with Ivan, my boyfriend at the time, using my passion for Dobermans and his knowledge of computers.
The site quickly became the number one for Dobermans in the world, bringing breed lovers together in one place.
Updated daily and full of useful information, it was the first thing people around the world looked at in the morning with their coffee.
It’s a real shame Review it’s not online anymore…
I broke up with Ivan, he took over the website, and I continued breeding with my brother Vladimir.
At the present time, I am starting my own kennel website, finding pleasure in creating it, and realizing I can do it by myself, so some new site like DReview will come soon.
Dobermann world needs it.
Along with creating the Dobermann Review, we started going to shows to make reports and I liked really it.
We wanted to have a dog for shows and compete with him, and also to start breeding, so then I decided for another female.
Considering than the whole world sold and bought dogs through Dobermann Review, I had an insight into all important litters from Europe as well.
Izrafel Kennel Foundation Dogs
At the end of 2002, the phone rang, and Dejan Malbasa, the owner of the Altobello kennel, called to arrange some advertisements.
During the conversation, he told me about his expected litter, and as soon as I heard who the parents were, I immediately knew, I wanted a puppy from that combination and straight away reserved a female before she was even born.
Izrafel Maya Di Altobello
And this is how, Izrafel Maya di Altobello, the eternal queen of my heart, come to ours lives.
She is foundation of our breeding , and our kennel was named in honor of her.
Izrafel is an angel of pleasure and joy.
Maya’s litter was the legendary Altobello “I” litter where many champions were born making a deep impact on the breed.
In the year 2005 , their father Ferro Farah Gomez di Campovolano become Best reproducer and had Best progeny group with 4 of dogs from “I” Altobello litter on most important show for Dobermann’s – IDC World Championship.
Same year Maya become
IDC Open Class Winner
Kennel Altobello won the Best Breeding Group
at that IDC, thanks to the “I” litter, and mostly because of Maya, according to the greatest expert on the breed, the distinguished Dr. P. Pezzano
Kim Kaylee del Nasi
Being very happy with Maya, we wanted to have a brown female with similar genes, and I found the most similar to her in the kennel del Nassi.
Kim Kaylie del Nasi is our other foundation female, and all our dogs come from them, Maya and Kim.
They both had long and healthy lives and this gene they pass on to their offspring
Considering the health problems of the Doberman, I am very grateful for the right choice I made at the beginning of my breeding, choosing the right and healthy lines without the Doberman’s most common diseases such as DCM.
Izrafel Abe Arroganto
In Maya’s first litter, Izrafel Abe Arroganto our foundation stud male was born.
He grew into an incredibly large and strong male with an outstanding character and he is the dog that gave our Dobermans their size and strength. In excellent health (he lived for 14 years), and left behind many beautiful, large, strong and healthy Dobermans who brightened the lives of people all over the planet.
In this picture, he was 11 years old, when he won the Best veteran in the Serbian Championship.
These three dogs are the ancestors of Izrafel dogs. After them, many came and are in our lives now.
Each one is unique and each one has its own place in our hearts.
