We have had rescues of various breeds for years and rescues of older Dobermans over the last 10 years. Reba was the first Doberman I actually bought two years ago with the intention to show. Showing looked simple. How hard can it be to run your dog around a circle? Boy, did I have a lot to learn and am still learning. I owe thanks to Odelie Harsha who showed me how to tape ears. Thanks to Reba’s handler Kerry Boyd for taking us on as newbies to get Reba’s Champion at 15 months, Grand at 18 months and Bronze at 22 months. Thank you to Judge Anthony DiNardo who awarded Reba her first major from the 6-9 class. That encouraged us to keep on showing. We also want to thank our other handlers who stepped up to the plate coming together to assist us on our journey. Thank you to all the other people we have met through the show world who have offered us encouragement and guidance. Last, but not least, thank you to Reba’s breeder, Betsy Zellmer, for taking that chance on us and entrusting us with her little girl. Reba has exceeded any expectation we had ever had for her.

THE STORY OF
Nikki McClendon Merrimac Dobermans Could it be 40 years since I owned and loved my first Doberman? It was 1974, Richard Nixon was still President and the early days of the Internet were still 10 years away! So many years, so many unforgettable friends, both canine and human. . . And so many adventures along my continuing journey in the sport and breeding of Dobermans!
The Baby Steps Like so many fellow breeders who dedicate so much of their lives to their animals, my love of the Doberman breed began with baby steps. I owned many dogs as a child and always took in strays, even during my college days at McNeese University in Lake Charles, Louisiana. There was my beloved Dachshund-mix “Hoov,” appropriately named after the vacuum cleaner. She became my constant companion after I rescued her as a nursing puppy from a convenience store. And there was my devoted Mac, a Labrador rescue, full of personality but deathly fearful of loud noises. But, one of those early strays was a young, black male Doberman. We shared a few days before his owner was located and the dog returned, but that brief introduction was enough to lay the foundation for my lifelong dedication to the breed. In 1974, I took the next step by purchasing a black Doberman bitch from a pet breeder. Sheba, a real alpha, was a testy learning experience for me. Five years later, I had learned a great deal about the breed and knew what I wanted, in terms of conformation, personality, and performance. I purchased a pick black male from Bob and Nancy Vandiver of Mistel Dobermans. Mistel’s Doomsday Defense, or “Mo,” became an American Champion and gained his 18 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine
Working Aptitude Certificate (WAC). This was the launch of Merrimac Doberman Kennel — mine. Since then, so many friends have made an indelible mark on my life in this breed -- and so many top-notch dogs have carried the banner for Merrimac. I can’t begin to do all of them justice in this article, but I will highlight a few. The others, no less important, know who they are.
Beginning in Dobermans with My Family I owe so much in my life to my husband Roy, who passed away in 2005. He was a loving and dedicated partner. Without his absolute love of the individual dogs – he was not a fan of dog shows – I doubt I would have found the time and energy to breed and show Dobermans. Our daughter, Melissa, is now married with a family of her own. They are also dog lovers. I can still see my young Melissa, sitting in the whelping box, helping me with new puppies. I am a retired teacher, and it was quite a job – but so rewarding – juggling family, work, and dogs. I am grateful to have more time now for dogs, but it seems to zip by even faster.
My Mentors Every dog breeder I know started with a mentor; I was no exception. The wild child Sheba that I purchased in 1974 needed work. After advice from Kay Etner of Tannenwald Kennels, I joined an obedience class and began attending local breed matches. It was at my first match that I met Bob and Nancy Vandiver, who took me under their wing and guided my early path through the breeding and dog-show world. Bob handled Mo to his championship, and I was truly hooked by that time. March/April 2014
“Picket”, Merrimac’s Pickpocket
The late Florence Groce of Groce’s Folly Kennel was also only a phone call away in the early days. Florence owned CH Florowill Haus Maus, Winners Bitch at the 1972 National. When Bob’s employer transferred him to the Netherlands, I was suddenly on my own and forced to learn further about breeding and showing without the Vandivers. I obtained a Mo daughter, who became Merrimac’s first champion, CH Merrimac’s Doomsday Shake WAC. I bred Shake to the Vandivers’ CH Mistel’s Texas Driller, at a difficult time for Dobermans in America. The Doberman had been near the top of the AKC registrations and breed overpopulation was at a high. Doberman puppies were selling in the newspaper at the price of two for $50. Four of the puppies from that breeding had championship potential, but finding show homes was difficult. The time was the 80’s; I was an unknown breeder and a young working mother. I was starry-eyed with my first litter, but not until I had accrued years of experience and knowledge did I realize the depth of quality in that litter. I kept only two, the beautiful red bitches, Merrimac’s Pickpocket (Picket) and Merrimac’s Grande Larceny (Lacey). They became my foundation stock.
“Encie”, at 3 ½ months she took my breath away
My Foundation Stock Picket and Lacey were bred to two separate bloodlines – Picket to CH Glen Coe’s Armani, and Lacey to Ch Bikila’s Jet Setter of Marks-Tey – and my foundation girls produced two of the most important and beloved treasures of my breeding career. Picket delivered to me the red bitch Encie, who went on to become a Best in Show (BIS) and Top 20 competitor. Lacey gave me my “ultimate” red boy, Shanghai, a Reserve Winners Dog from the Bred-By class at the 1993 Nationals and whom I always referred to as a “king among dogs.”
Picket’s Legacy: Encie Picket was a substantial bitch with beautiful lines, a rock-hard topline, and a sweet soul. She disliked the show ring, but as is often the case, those who do not perform inside the ropes of the show ring will display their strength inside the whelping box. I bred Picket three times. Margaret and Wallace Downey’s CH Glen Coe of Armani joined with her to produce a little red bitch, whom we referred to as “Teensy Eensy.” She was quite spirited, and she gave hell to those boys in the litter! Her name evolved simply to “Encie,” better known in the Doberman world as CH Merrimac’s ShootEm-Up. Encie won her Futurity class
“Lacey”, Merrimac’s Grande Larceny
and was Reserve 12-15 Futurity winner at the 1992 National. She quickly gained championship points. But she needed majors, which were scarce at the time in Texas, so breeder-handler Michele Santana quickly finished Encie’s championship for me in the Northwest. Encie and I did some Specials winning in Texas, but it was Margaret Downey who helped me elevate Encie’s profile and record by linking her up with the late and great handler Jeanenne Thompson. It was a master-stroke by Margaret, a longtime Doberman fancier, breeder, now judge, and a true lady I deeply admire. Jeanenne and Encie were fantastic together and compiled an exemplary record, including being a BIS and a Top 20 contender. Encie loved “Miss Jeanenne” dearly, and the feeling was mutual. It was a hard day when I picked Encie up for the last time from her -- I remember the sight of Jeanenne walking away, trying to hide her tears.

Lacey, the other half of my kennel’s foundation stock, was not destined to finish her championship. The independent Lacey was exquisite with perfect shoulders. She won the BredBy class at the National in Houston in 1989. I was determined to finish her myself. But it was not to be. I

even flew to the Midwest on back-toback weekends in search of majors – and she went Reserve four times! Because Father Time was marching on, I decided to breed her. Like Picket, Lacey proved her strength was in the whelping box. Breeder, Rod Humphries, and I became friends in the 80’s. He had started with Marks-Tey/Damasyn stock in the 60’s in Australia and had a black “stallion” of a stud named CH Bikila’s Jet Setter of Marks-Tey. Rod still lives not far away from me in the Houston area. I loved Jet Setter, especially for his stellar front assembly. He was all dog, a “macho” man. In 1992, he and Lacey gave me my beloved red boy, CH Merrimac’s Shanghai Red WAC. He was proud, bold, confident, handsome, and gentle. He was “the whole package.” I was honored that the late breeder-judge, Tommie Jones, gave Shanghai the award of Reserve Winners Dog from the Bred-By class at the Nationals in San Diego in 1993. Shanghai was “into leather” when the “girls” came to visit him. When my bitches were in season, he would intensify his fetish by furtively combing through closets for belts and purses and secretively chewing them to pieces. One afternoon, when my daughter Melissa came home from school with what must have been a very appealing backpack with leather trimming, Shanghai jumped up and pulled it from her shoulder! That escapade remains one of my favorite Shanghai stories. Shanghai sadly left us too soon. At age 7, he developed cancer in his shoulder. Despite radiation to slow the growth and ease the pain, I made the difficult decision to let him go. It was a devastating time, as Picket passed away two days later, a month shy of 12 years of age. I still have a vivid memory of walking through the backyard after losing them, and I swear I heard Shanghai’s footsteps in the grass behind me. I felt that he was following me as he had done for years -- he was 20 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine
telling me “goodbye” one last time, and he and Picket would be okay.
Encie’s Legacy: Poseidon and Tallulah Encie passed away on Valentine’s Day 2002. It is hard to believe that was 12 years ago. She died in my arms. It was unbearable watching her leave me. The circle of life spins much more quickly for our dogs, and losing these three most-special ones was a very difficult time for me. Life has to go on, but the loss of any dog I have owned, cared for, or bred, is one of the most difficult things I continue to face. Encie was not “just a pretty face.” She was also a producer: several generations later Merrimac had yet another BIS winner and Top 20 contender, the black male, CH Merrimac’s Poseidon on Board. If one can follow this sequence: I bred Encie to CH Kai Esa II Son of a Sailor, who produced CH Merrimac’s Gibralter, owned by Judy Smith; and a pretty red bitch whom I kept at home, Merrimac’s Too Hot Brazil, or simply “Anna.” I bred Anna in turn to CH Gemrose Cavalier v Promise, giving me a beautiful litter with sisters CH Merrimac’s Babalu (Darla), owned by Chris and Barbara McBirnie, and CH Merrimac’s Viva Valencia WAC. Anna also gave me Rikki, CH Merrimac’s Red Rickshaw WAC, a typey red bitch who, bred to Poseidon, produced the awesome Obedience Top 20 CH MACH Merrimac’s Irish Selkie VCD2 GO RE MXS MJS NJP XF CGC ROM, owned and trained by Kathy McLemore, DVM. I showed a handsome red male for Rod Humphries, CH Bikila’s Qanah of Marks-Tey, and I was on the lead when he won an Award of Merit at a mere 16 months of age at the 1996 Nationals in Minneapolis. I decided I wanted a piece of that boy and bred him to a lovely, pointed black bitch, Merrimac’s Sweet Cheeks, or Chika, who needed more body. I got body, alright, in the black male offspring, CH Merrimac’s Start Me Up (Mick), owned by Julie Moore. Finally, when Mick

was bred to CH Merrimac’s Babalu (Darla), the result was one of my great dogs, the black male CH Merrimac’s Poseidon on Board, co-owned with my dear friend, Sara Casper. Breeders are blessed when they find an owner or co-owner who will agree to allow puppies placed with them to be shown and/or bred. Many are only looking for companion dogs, and we breeders interrupt their lives with their dogs, often with requests to help keep our kennel’s bloodline flowing by breeding the dogs we have placed with them. I am fortunate to have placed dogs with many good owners over the years. One family that made a real difference to my breeding program was Chris and Barbara McBirnie, who owned Babalu (Darla). They allowed me to finish her and get a litter from her – the result was not only the superstar Poseidon, but also his littermates, CH Merrimac’s Titania Mania (Tallulah), co-owned with Julie Moore; Obedience Top 20 contender CH Merrimac’s Nova Nike CDX RA, owned by Buddy and Brenda Lunsford; and CH Merrimac’s Morpheus at Midnite, owned by Viola Galicki. Another beautiful black pointed bitch, Merrimac’s Aphrodite, was unfortunately lost to my breeding program. That was a hard one to swallow. Both Poseidon and Tallulah, multi-champion producers and dogs I believe to be unparalleled in many respects even to this day, have contributed significantly to my breeding program. Poseidon “floated” around the ring, and his front assembly was one to envy. He consistently passed that front on to his get, among them his daughter, CH Paradigm Parasol (Pari), a real firecracker still going strong at almost 11 years of age and dam of two of my current three breeding bitches. A quick look at some of the dogs pictured in this article will show you what I believe to be the near-perfect shoulders and the type passed down from him. Poseidon lived with my friend Sara. We were crushed when he was
diagnosed with occult dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) on an echocardiogram. He participated in Dr. Sonja Gordon’s DCM study at Texas A&M’s veterinary school for three or so years until the study ended and he died in his 11th year from an unrelated injury, ironically never showing any clinical symptoms of DCM or cardio disease. I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Gordon, and I thank her for her generous donation made in Poseidon’s memory.
Tallulah and Poseidon’s Legacy Tallulah, bred to CH Mariah’s Monogram Von Koepsel, produced two of the most beautiful and besttempered Dobermans I have bred, the lovely CH Merrimac’s Margarita Run (Rita), who has gorgeous bone and substance, and the knock-out CH Merrimac’s Gentleman Jim (JJ), owned by Rod Humphries. Rod had lost his red champion Qanah and I knew he would hate to be without a red male for long. Gentleman Jim had been at home with me for six months when I contacted Rod and asked him if he was interested in this magnificent dog. He happened to be in the area on business, dropped by to see Gentleman Jim, took one look and in about one second decided he wanted him. I handled Gentleman Jim until he finished his Championship at 11 months. Tallulah’s only other breeding was a collaborative effort with the Vandivers and Julie Moore. There were four champions from that litter: CH Mistel’s Moxie Merrimac and CH Mistel’s Mia Merrimac, owned by the Vandivers; BISS CH Mistel’s Mojo Merrimac RN CGC TDI OA OAJ ROM, owned by Sharon Bruno; and CH Merrimac’s Man-O-War Mistel OA OAJ OF ROM, owned by Jenni Novelli. Three of these went on to produce champions, including the Vandivers’ Award of Merit and Top 20 CH Mistel’s Anything You Can Do, CD Sch. BH. My sweet Valencia, bred to Poseidon, produced CH Merrimac The Agean CDX RE CGC TDI BFL-1 (Gus), owned by Vernon and Dana Brown. It

Rita had three blockage surgeries, all due to her love for pecans. She made sure she got them down before any of the other dogs or people could take them away! As a result, I feel fortunate to have two litters and a total of eight puppies from her. One is CH Merrimac’s Blue Moon Run WAC (Blue), who fell four points shy of his GCH, hindered by a large benign tumor near his shoulder. Another is GCH Merrimac’s Misano Run (Ducati). In January of 2011, a co-breeding of Marcia Harvey’s (Brachmar Dobermans) bitch, Merrimac’s Da-Doo-RunRun (Patti), to GCH Alpha’s The Conquistador RN RA TDI ROM (Boss), produced two handsome males that finished quickly. I had long admired Boss and his breeder Susanne Smith. GCH Brachmar’s Revolution v. Merrimac CGC (Zeus), owned by Bill Bowes, Esq., finished and completed his GCH quickly with two BISS. Then his brother stepped out to shine — CH Brachmar’s Intrepidation v Merrimac CGC (Razz), owned by Melanie Walker, DVM. He also sailed right through to his championship. Another brother, Merrimac’s Reflection v. Brachmar (Beckham), co-owned with Judy Howell, needs only two points to complete his title. Much of my breeding program today revolves around Poseidon’s daughter Pari, CH Paradigm’s Parasol. I am fortunate that I had the opportunity to breed her. Owner Rod Humphries contracted with me to breed Pari to Gentleman Jim, asking me to raise the litter under his Bikila prefix. Rod only wanted two pups from the litter. He took the “rainbow” girls, blue Bikila’s Waltzing Matilda of Merrimac Marks-Tey and fawn, Bikila’s Wattle Gold of Merrimac Marks-Tey. Two other bitches of that superior litter reside at Merrimac, the black Winnie, CH Bikila’s Wisteria of Merrimac Marks-Tey, who won an Award of Merit at the National in Kentucky in
2012, and the red Willa, Bikila’s Wilhelmina of Merrimac Marks-Tey. Winnie and Willa are now six years of age. Where does the time go? Both were bred, two months apart, to CH Merrimac’s Blue Moon Run WAC. To date, they have produced four champions: CH Merrimac’s Fire Moon CGC TDI (Teyla), owned by Ron and Denise Siwecki; CH Merrimac’s Out of the Blue (Anja), owned by Terry and Sheila Necessary; my new CH Merrimac’s Blue Valentine; and CH Merrimac’s Over the Moon (Jaci), owned by Jerry and Kathy Drake. Jaci finished with four majors. Having just celebrated their second birthday, Merrimac’s Lady Moonlight (Mystere), owned by Thomas Luft; and Merrimac’s Man on the Moon (Walker), owned by Greg and Liz Kelish, should finish this year. Winnie’s second litter, sired by Bob Hennessey’s Top 20 GCH Francesca’s House of Blues (Dakota), just turned one year old. Three of the four puppies are in show homes and, though shown sparingly, have done quite well. The black CH Merrimac’s Chase Manhattan CGC (The Banker), owned by Marilyn H. David, Esq., finished at 13 months with a Best of Breed from the puppy class over Specials. The red Merrimac’s Gold Card (Midas), owned by Lawrence Hollander, has been out to show only three times, with two Reserve awards at the competitive Reliant Circuit at six months of age, and back-to-back wins his last time out with a Best of Opposite. I co-own their sister, Merrimac’s Charge It (Visa), with Sam and Ali Starteri; Visa has a Best Puppy win and we have plans to get her back in the ring soon. I am delighted with this new generation and thankful to the owners for their support, and the opportunity to handle these promising young dogs.
The Question “Why” On reflection, I think all breeders at some time question why. . . why we continue to do this. . . why we work so hard, spend so much time and money, get so frustrated by failures and people
March/April 2014
we mistakenly thought were decent, endure the heartbreak of losing dogs, finding new homes for good dogs because of human fault and error. The list is long. It has to be the passion we have for the breed that keeps us going. I would like to pass on one of the things I learned along the way. A breeder must carefully guard his or her reputation for honesty and integrity, and I believe that such long-time breeders as this can contribute to our breed and our sport by providing mentorship to novice puppy owners and/or those not as experienced in handling, breeding, and showing dogs. I believe that novice puppy owners are best served by looking to breeders who have repeatedly proven their mettle in an established breeding and showing program, filled with many years and preferably decades of dedication evidenced by handson experience, personal hard work, and several generations of well-bred Dobermans recognized as such by the fancy. One of the answers to the question “why” is that we decadeslong breeders and handlers have a lot to pass on in mentoring novices to our breed and to the dog-show world. And we must step up to meet this challenge!
Another Answer to the Question “Why” Of course, another answer to the question “why” is to improve the Doberman breed. When it comes to breeding, I operate under several cardinal principles. First, it is always my aim to analyze the entire picture of an individual dog against the standard. Too many newcomers to the sport and judges focus on individual parts and not the total dog. I have a few pet peeves, like what I consider to be bad feet or straight shoulders, but I have learned to balance them in my mind’s eye for the big picture. I look for a match where the dog and the bitch complement each other, knowing what I need to improve, and the strength and weaknesses of each
animal, as well as those of their ancestors. For example, years ago, I felt I needed stronger rears in my dogs. So, I looked for sires who could give my line better rear musculature, tone, and angulation. The result: now I have sturdy, correct rears in my bloodline, as exemplified by my present brood bitches, Winnie, Willa, and Valentine, who are pictured in this article. My practice is not to make decisions based upon photographs of and hearsay regarding stud dogs. I want to personally meet the dog and get my hands on him so that I can judge his temperament and watch him move. Photos are not always reliable or representative. I like to look at his get to judge consistency, and what he produces when mixed with certain types of bloodlines (genotypes) and appearance (phenotypes). I am pleased that my dogs are becoming more consistent in their physical attributes. I started zeroing in on shoulders with my very first bitch, Shake, whose photo appears in this article. Shoulders are now the strength of my breeding program, with a smooth flow from a nice headpiece and neck into the shoulders. Good shoulders are rare in Dobermans today and hard to lock into a bloodline. I don’t want to lose mine. One can see an example of those shoulders in photos of successive generations: Mick, Poseidon, Pari, Winnie, and The Banker, pictured in this article. Pedigrees, temperament, and health are paramount. Again, the key is to look at the whole picture presented in the sire and the dam with regard to these and other factors. To illustrate, I perform comprehensive health testing of the parents. It is very important, but it is not everything to be considered in a breeding. There is no doubt that, with our small gene pool, we breeders must be cautious when it comes to the health consequences of our breedings. However, with our small gene pool, things could easily be made worse, by breeding with “tunnel-vision,” in other words,

“Fiona”, U-CD Bikila’s WhyNot of Merrimac MarksTey UD GN GO RAE by breeding to eliminate one health issue without looking at the impact of a breeding on the entire picture and balance of other factors in Doberman make-up. I believe that, overall, most established, responsible breeders do the best they can with what stock is available and with what experience has taught them. I believe that most of my colleagues, who are breeders engaged in longtime, recognized breeding programs, keep in mind the impact of each match on the total picture of the ideal Doberman — the dog we all strive to produce.
To the Beginners. . . To those just beginning in the breed, know that you have chosen the best of the dog world. I love the Doberman breed and I love our breed standard. Study it well, do your homework, find a reputable breeder and mentor, work hard, be responsible, and develop a tough skin. You will have much joy, but you must be able to get right back up when you are knocked down. Be strong enough to face heartache. Also, the Doberman is a working breed, not a marshmallow, and you must be aware of this fact and its implications in today’s society. That is a subject to elaborate upon on another day and time!
“Indy”, Merrimac’s Run Like The Wind In 2009, one of the highlights of my career was judging Futurity Juniors at the Doberman Pinscher Club of America (DPCA) National Specialty in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky. I awarded the Best Junior in Futurity title to a stunning, young red bitch, now GCH Francesca’s Bringin’ Sexy Back, bred by Shari Demitrowicz. She was owner-handled by Rose Benanti and went on to become Grand Prize Futurity Winner. I judged sweepstakes and matches before the Futurity, but what an amazing experience to be at our National Futurity on the other side of handling, making a definitive call on such a large, quality entry. I think of going into judging from time to time, but I have never taken the first step to do so. Perhaps I still may. The people who join in on one’s journey are always a high point. I thank those who have mentored me in the past, starting with Bob and Nancy Vandiver back in the 70’s. Thank you to the many long-standing friends I have made in the dog world, beginning with my close friend Sara Casper. We met in the late 80’s, when I finished her first Doberman, CH Empire’s Apollo v. Barney, CD. We frequently travel to shows and she has owned several of my dogs. Sara’s husband, Gary, frequently mans the ship while Sara and I are out on our adventures, both dog- and non-dog-related. Author/journalist Rod Humphries has been a special friend since we met
Awarding Best Junior in Futurity to GCH Francesca’s Bringin’ Sexy Back
in the 80’s. We have co-bred and co-owned Dobermans, and I handled many of his dogs. The friendship and support of Kathy Drake, long-time Doberman owner and fancier, has meant so much. Since I am just a hair above computer-illiterate, a special thank-you to Chloe Moore, who created my Merrimac Dobermans website in 2008 and who keeps it up to date. She has designed a number of magazine ads, including several that can be seen accompanying this article. I don’t have a count of how many champions or performance-dog titlists I have bred, but I am fortunate to have my fair share. I thank their owners for allowing me to be so privileged. Many of my puppies go to pet homes, and I thank their owners as well. It does not matter if there is a title by a dog’s name, because every dog I have bred is important – I thank each of them for the meaning, purpose and joy they have given my life. One of my favorite quotes is, “life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” Each dog I’ve bred has given me special moments to remember; it is those thousands of moments that make so many sweet memories to celebrate and to keep with me when the dogs are gone. That is really the ultimate answer to the question “why.” g

Ch. Bikila’s Jet Setter of Marks-Tey (Ch. Brykris the Gun Runner x MarksTey Ferrari) Friends since the 80’s, Bikila and Merrimac began a long association in 1992 when Nikki bred Merrimac Grande Larceny to Jet Setter – a black who finished with a Group 1- - and produced her beloved Ch. Merrimac Shanghai Red WAC, Reserve Winners Dog at the 1993 National in San Diego (see photo in accompanying article).
Ch. Bikila’s Qanah of Marks-Tey (Ch. Legend’s Extravaganza v Deco x Bikila’s Nadia of Marks-Tey). From the 90s, Nikki showed all Bikila dogs including Qanah, a mere 16 months old when he won an Award of Merit at the 1996 National in Minneapolis. He joined his sister Quintilla to help their sire “Chaos” win the top Stud Dog Award at the 1996 National. Qanah was the paternal grandsire of Nikki’s BIS, Top 20 qualifier and Award of Merit Winner, Ch. Merrimac’s Poseidon on Board. Qanah was co-owned by Jeanne Spence but returned home to Bikila when Jeanne passed away.

The very competitive sisters – the black Pandora and red Pazia— were tagged “The Girls,” by Nikki who always had strategy problems when they consistently won their respective Open classes. Nikki was disappointed that Bikila never campaigned any of its dogs beyond championship status. Pazia did go to Nationals, though, and twice made the final cut in the Best of Breed and won BOS at the host specialty in 1996.

BIKILA/MARKS TEY AND MERRIMAC When Qanah passed away, Nikki knew Rod Humphries could not be without a substantial “old school” red male and offered him six-month-old Merrimac’s Gentleman Jim, a great grandson of Qanah, whose championship came at 11 months. Rod named him “JJ” after the historically famous heavyweight boxing champion, Gentleman Jim (James J.) Corbett and he became the pride of Bikila/Marks-Tey. When Joanna Walker of Marks-Tey saw him for the first time in the Nationals at 12 months she described him as “drop dead gorgeous.” True to form, Bikila never campaigned JJ, although Nikki did win a Group with him when Rod left him with Nikki when he traveled overseas!

Ch. Bikila’s Wisteria of Merrimac Marks-Tey (Ch. Merrimac’s Gentleman Jim x Ch. Paradigm Parasol) Thanks to Nikki, the Bikila name went out in style after almost half a century with this major award at the Doberman National.
When there was an impasse between co-owners of the black female Ch. Paradigm Parasol, a great granddaughter of Qanah, Rod Humphries negotiated to buy Pari and contracted with Nikki to breed her to JJ and raise what would be Bikila’s “W” litter. The rainbow litter, born in 2008, was a huge success and Bikila was delighted that its long career in breeding and showing ended on a high note with an Award of Merit for Ch.

BIKILA/MARKS-TEY TODAY... Bikila/Marks-Tey no longer breeds or shows, but the passion lives on in these four Dobermans at the Humphries’ property in Richmond, Texas. Volt is an “old school” red male, and Nikki still can’t believe that his red sister Valen and the two “W” litter sisters, the blue Mattie and the fawn Goldie, were never bred or campaigned to their championships. Bikila keeps its options open for the future with frozen semen collected from Qanah, his black brother Quarterback who became a prominent national sire in Australia, and JJ, Gentleman Jim.

fro m Marj s k o o r B Because this issue is the stud dog issue, I would like to talk about our D.P.C.A. data base, DobeQuest. Every Doberman Pinscher can have its own page where a person can see a wealth of information for said dog. When your Doberman’s name appears in the AKC new title holders list he/she usually gets listed in DobeQuest by the committee. It is up to you to go in and update your dog. You can put all of the health stats and health testing on your dog’s page as well as the owner, the breeder, the pedigree and you can upload your Doberman’s picture as well. If you are a DPCA member you can edit your own dog. If you are not, you can go in as a visitor and look. If you want to edit your dog, you can contact Cathy Kendrick right from the first page where you enter. I hope that this makes sense. To find DobeQuest, go to the www.DPCA.org website and under the tab, The Doberman you will find DobeQuest. Also we are doing our exciting new DPM Stud Book, when we are looking for a dog to breed our bitch to, we can use these pages to gain a lot of knowledge about whatever we are looking for. The same goes if we are looking at the parents of a puppy that we are interested. The key though is to update your dog’s page frequently. It is important too to update the date of death too so one can look for longevity when we are looking at potential dogs that we are interested
in. I try to do this myself. I personally don’t have a problem listed the cause of a particular dog’s cause of death even if it is DCM. Did you know that you can click onto any dog in the pedigree on DobeQuest and learn about that dog too. You can click onto the dogs in the fourth generation and see (hopefully) another 4 generations. With my personal dogs, a person can trace their pedigrees way back into the 30’s and even further. I am just telling you this to give you a small example about how we can use DobeQuest in our research. If you love to see pedigrees of our Doberman’s breeding history you can. I like DobeQuest so much; I will go in and just click on a dog and see what I can learn about the dog. I’ve run into a few pleasant surprises doing this. Please send me your news or your chapter clubs coming events and stuff like that. Art & Sue Korp’s “Cash”, Platinum’s Take The Money N Run, CD,RN (Ch. Wyndem N Rahdy’s Lucky Strike ex Ch. Platinum’s Black Again UDX6, OM9, RN) finished his championship in January at the KC of Palm Springs . Both Cash and his dam are presently ranked in the D.P.C.A.’s Top 20 obedience. Linda Siegel handled Cash to his championship. This is one example of news to send.
of Reno, DPC of Northern California, Redwood Empire DPC and the Sacramento DPC all work together to put on this event. We make it a day with the evaluations, an educational program and we have a GREAT pot luck lunch. It is always a FUN day. Eve Auch will be our evaluator this year. This is another example of news that you can send. Feel free to email me with your news and I will do my best to include it my column. I also have this exciting news to share. Did you read about or see on Fox News, and maybe other networks too, the piece about one of our DPCA Top 20 conformation Dobermans being a hero and actually saving his owner life. Our hero is “Troy”, also known as GCh. Raindance Led Zeppelin Of Marquis (Ch. Rauchund’s Aquila Marquis ex Marquis I Am Arya). Troy is owned Harry Papazin, Susan James, Chelsea James & Kelly Marquis and bred by Susan James, Chelsea James, Linda Marquis and Kelly Marquis. Troy is handled by Kelly.

She underwent a double mastectomy and chemotherapy to beat the disease, and has been cancer-free ever since, her husband said. Diane thought it was peculiar how persistent the pooch was in his nuzzling, leading her to conduct a self-examination and to discover the lump. She underwent a double mastectomy and chemotherapy to beat the disease, and has been cancer-free ever since, her husband said.” Thank you to Paul Raybould, Chief Innovation Officer of the American Humane Association who wrote to the DPCA Public Education with his request. “I was wondering if you could help? Have you seen the story about Troy? I would like to invite Harry and Diane Papazian to nomi-
nate Troy. Can you help me with that? Of course I am assuming that they are members of the national breed club. It would be wonderful to have a Doberman represented this year.” These questions came to me and I alerted Bonnie Bailey, the chair of the DPCA REC and she jumped on this and went through many channels to find the contact and contacting Harry. Long story short, Troy IS nominated and we are voting for him now. Hopefully in the June issue I can report that he is the winner of the Hero Award. Thank you Paul, Bonnie and the DPCA PEC for your help in making this happen. By the way, I happen to be on this fabulous committee. Speaking of the June issue, the June issue is our owner-handler issue. We are hopefully featuring Leah Kusey, Linda Hefferman, and Zelda
Cassanova as owner handlers. Dawn Danner, also an owner handler is our featured Someone You Should Know and our featured breeders who are also owner/breeder/handlers are Alan and Jacquie Wendt of Wendorf Dobermans.

SOMEONE YOU SHOULD KNOW...
Lynn Eggers Foxhall Dobermans QQ First let me congratulate you on your AKC Lifetime Achievement Award for Companion Animal Events! What a thrill it must have been. Did you know you were going to be nominated? It was indeed an honor to be nominated for this prestigious award. Yes, I knew I was being nominated by the Desert Valley Doberman Pinscher Club. Mimi Brown called me to tell me the club had made my nomination. What a wonderful gesture!
above: Sirena, Lynns first Doberman below: Lynn and Kropka
QQ Tell us about your first Doberman. My first Doberman Sirena was purchased in Chicago, IL. she came home to Texas with me in 1963. In 1967 she was the top winning Doberman in Obedience. It was a thrill for sure, but more than that, she was the light of my life. When she passed away at age 10, I could not even say her name for 6 months. I had never lost a dog before and the emotion was overwhelming. It is still horrible to lose one of mine, but never as heart-breaking as with her. Sirena had been spayed, so never bred, but I always wished I had had a puppy from her. Since my heart was breaking, I purchased a puppy from breeder Richard Clayton. She was out of Ch Tolivar’s Aristotle of Azteca LC-11D x Kiesel v Tontonne CDX and became Ch Kropka von Tontonne. Rex Vandeventer finished her for me and Teresa Nail specialed her. QQ I see you’ve done some early breedings with Dob Mann and Tolivar. Were the Bivins and Anna Platt your mentors? Yes, I bred several litters with my best friend Irene Nail. She was quite experienced in breeding good Dobermans and I worked closely with her in selecting a stud dog and whelping my first litters. Edd Bivin’s input was wonderful, as he was not only a Doberman judge but also so knowledgable as a true ‘dog man’. Funny, they often did not agree, but I loved the dialogue and always felt I benefited tremendously from the discussions. Ann always did ears and was a good friend. QQ I find it interesting you’ve bred many conformation Champions and yet you are an Obedience judge. Tell us how the decision to judge Obedience came about. I started in the breed with obedience and naturally went into judging obedience. I am so busy with obedience judging there is no time to apply to judge conformation, but I love watching the breed and being a ‘ringside evaluator’. I personally think breeders should breed for more than

conformation. Dobermans should possess the structure and the temperament to do the job they were bred to do. Being Dobermans means they will protect me and my family if necessary. Along with that they must first and foremost be a family pet. At Foxhall, I always finish my dogs first and then move into performance. (The name Foxhall came from my maiden name, Fox; the Hall was added to make it sound better!) If these Champions have the ability, then Schutzhund is next...hence Laura.
Of course, all the credit for Laura being the first AKC Champion bitch to earn a Schutzhund 3 goes to Jill and Art Graves. When we first talked about this I was a little worried, not about letting them have her but because I had never before sent one of my dogs out for training. I said, “How long?” and the answer was at least a year. Well, it turned out to be 3 years! Jill is a fantastic trainer and took it slowly, never pushing Laura too much. She achieved her Schutzhund title on May 5, 2012 and it was one of the highlights of my life! She has since gone on to get a CD and won the UDC National in 2013, both shows from the Veterans Class. Laura is 8 years old, in perfect health and is still wanting to go.
QQ You must also be very proud of Laura and all she and Jill Graves have accomplished. And she produced a very nice litter for you, all champion if I remember correctly. Can you tell us about the litter? It was indeed a beautiful litter...all champions! That was my first all-champion litter. Laura, the dam and Blaze, aka GCh Steinway’s Paris is Burning were a wonderful match. Temperaments are outstanding! This litter is now 5 years old and we have 3 ROMs with 2 more close. Several have multiple titles in obedience, rally and agility. I have wonderful homes for all of them: Dee and Chuck Knighten in Chico, CA., Patty Larsen in Colorado, Charles and Pam Chapman in Houston.
QQ What does the future hold for you? I hope my future is filled with good health, wonderful friends and lots of beautiful and intelligent Dobermans! QQ One more question. Just for fun, tell us something few people know about you. You know, I have worked harder on this question than any of the others. I can’t think of anything...I guess my life is an open book. I tell everything!

A Trip to OZ Judging the Queensland Dobermann Club Show by Nancy Christensen
It was a whirlwind trip from the beginning. In late May, with a long hot summer and not many plans looming ahead, an email arrived from Michael Yates, President of the Queensland Dobermann Club. What a lovely surprise, an invitation to judge! Whoa – had to read it again, it is for July – this July! Like, in three months! Seems another judge had to cancel and they needed someone soon. Yikes! Visiting Australia has been my dream trip for years, my reply was “absolutely yes” and I’d work out the details later. Especially since I had met Michael and several of the other Queensland Dobe people at previous DPCA nationals and friends Sue Pfuhl and Ian Smith had visited in Denver after the Fitchburg National. I knew this would be a fun assignment! The devil is in the details, as they say. So along with all the judging approvals and sending them information, I had to arrange time off work, boarding for Mr. Fletcher, stop mail, etc. Since this was my “dream trip’ I was absolutely taking some extra days to see as much as possible as a tourist. Remembering that my good friend Johnnah Davis had told me once how she loved to travel and she had wanted to go to Argentina with me a couple of years ago, I asked her if she would like to go and we would have a blast. Her answer was yes and she had a million details to work out, but they all did and 40 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine
soon enough we had our week in Australia all reserved and planned. We both would have loved more time, but work and other commitments, not to mention financial limitations, gave us only a week so we made the most of it. After weeks of phone calls and emails of “OMG, we are going to AUSTRALIA!” Not to mention the completely unseemly jumping about, hugging each other and squealing “We’re going to Australia!” every time we saw each other, soon enough we were on our way. We will include some photos, however it should be noted that we took literally hundreds of pictures, yes hundreds. The bus driver from the car park, each other, our luggage, the airplanes……not to mention the periodic grabbing each other, jumping up and down, and chanting, “We are going to Australia!” Finally underway, the flight from Denver to L.A. was quick and uneventful. That was pretty much the last uneventful part of the journey. We had six hours at LAX to change planes, which seemed like a long time. With the decidedly unfriendly and unhelpful United employees “help” we wandered about trying to get from the United domestic terminal to our International Quantas flight. Eventually, we were rescued and given correct directions by a very nice security guard. Not long before board-
ing, we were informed of a delay and ended up leaving LAX an hour late. Now, mind you, Brisbane is about 15 hours from L.A. and it was already some 10+ hours since we left home. Too excited to sleep, we talked and watched movies for a few hours. About half way to Brisbane, somewhere above the middle of the Pacific Ocean, we were informed that we must reroute and stop in Honolulu due to a very ill passenger. This turned into five hours in Honolulu, at about 3:00 a.m. local time and we were not allowed off the plane. Since the plane had to reroute with another landing and take off, it had to refuel. Boy was that fun. Five hours in Hawaii and we didn’t get to see anything or even call Skip and Hiroko due to the timing. Underway once more, we slept, watched movies and had breakfast before finally landing in Brisbane six hours late. This blew a whole day of sightseeing. Bless Ian Smith – he was waiting for us after customs and off we went on our adventure in OZ. As we were staying with Sue and Ian, first we went back to their house exclaiming at the kangaroo and koala bear crossing signs, getting used to being on the “other” side of the road and generally taking in all the sights possible. At home, Sue was sitting “puppy watch” with her Champion bitch, Piper. After various calls to the vet, Sue ended up taking Piper in for a C-section where she had one fat black bitch puppy.

Meanwhile, Joannah and I relaxed, got cleaned up, and moved into our room. Ian showed us around the house, kennels and pasture. Soon Sue returned with Piper and the new baby. Then Ian took Joannah and me out to eat with Michael Yates and his wife at a wonderful Chinese place. We brought take away back for Sue. Needless to say, we slept well that night! First full day in OZ, we spent the day at the Australia Zoo. The zoo made famous by the crocodile hunter, Steve Irwin and his family. This is the cleanest and nicest zoo I have ever been to with the most well informed, well spoken, and well dressed staff. The zoo is in a beautiful setting with lots of shade, benches and interactive displays. There were a number of animals out with their keepers walking around in different areas. We took a train ride which goes around the entire zoo as sort of a break, a chance to sit, but still see some things. It went between the main exhibit areas so you could ride and get off at any of the many stops. Our first stop was the Stadium Show. It was phenomenal! The huge crocodile was so impressive – a virtual dinosaur. From my “trainers” viewpoint the most incredible was the birds. They use all positive training and have scores of different native birds trained to circle the stadium and then land in specific places around the seating area or in the arena. Then they would circle and return out the stadium door. There were also trained bird acts with audience participation that were lots of fun. Next we walked around the many exhibits and into the fabulous “field of kangaroos” where we walked among many red and grey kangaroos and wallabies. We were allowed to feed and pet them. They are most fascinating creatures. I liked the grey kangaroos the best, they are the more chunky of the two. I could go on and on about all the animals. We petted camels and wombats and got to hold a baby koala. They are just so soft and they do cuddle. Their noses are sort of velvet soft like horse noses.
Dinner after was at a superb seafood place with outdoor tables right on the water. Joannah had her chance to eat bugs. I enjoyed my steak. We had learned by this time that they have excellent wine in Australia! Next day was Saturday, the Queensland club’s WAE. Happily it was held right in Sue and Ian’s pasture, so we did not have to rise before the sun or drive anywhere. The pasture was perfect for the WAE. Because most of the dogs were owner handled and entered the next day, I had to sit a little bit away from the test and crowd to avoid the “appearance of impropriety.” Thanks to my wonderful hosts, I had a comfortable chair in the shade and it was quite pleasant. Joannah helped the club by shaking the can all day. The test was correctly set up and very well run with 20 plus dogs and perfect weather. Interesting to note, most of the dogs reacted typically, compared to what we see on the first three tests and the umbrella. Most dogs showed a fairly high degree of sound sensitivity to the gunshots. Not a single dog had an issue with the footing, acting as if it was not there. The threat saw most of the dogs unwilling to confront and in the end only three dogs passed. This club knows how to have a good time with an event. The WAE was preceded by a cookout breakfast, with egg, cheese, bacon and tomato sandwiches grilled up by Michael. After the WAE we visited the show site to check out my ring for the next day and see some of the many specialties. The GSDs and Rottweilers are shown German style with double handling, lots of running on a track and trading handlers on the run. They are quite a sight. All the Rotts we saw were undocked. The show grounds were beautiful. They are owned by the kennel club in a large park like setting with lots of trees for shade. The rings were large and absolutely level with the most beautiful green grass that was so short you could see the dog’s feet and toenails, yet even in the rain, it never got slick, never got torn up or soft, and
looked great from the beginning to the end of the show. Dog show travel is very different than in the USA. Dogs are not allowed in hotels or motels at all. Travel to shows usually consists of either a larger vehicle or a car with a dog trailer. There are very few big motor homes. Almost everyone camps out at the dog show with a variety of tents and camping gear. The show grounds have restrooms, showers, water, electricity, lots of shade, and areas with picnic tables and outdoor grills. There is a main building where smaller indoor rings can be held in really bad weather. That building has a concession stand. There are even fenced fields onsite for events like herding and lure coursing. Sunday was the Specialty show, so I had to stay away from ringside until the last minute. It did rain fairly hard all during dog judging, but it did not faze any of the dogs or handlers. Fortunately, it was not cold, just wet. The ring stewards in OZ will spoil judges for AKC shows. The steward literally does everything. All the judge has to do is judge and dictate critiques into a small recorder. Between judging dogs and bitches, the club had a wonderful luncheon in a tent

at ringside. The overall quality of the dogs and their presentation was very good. I was quite pleased with my winners in each category. Of course, all dogs are uncropped and about half the entry had undocked tails. There was a variety of shapes, sets and carriage of tails. After judging was complete, we had a nice rap session, which despite the rain and long day was well attended and we had some good discussion. After the rap session, we had a chance to check out the show vendors and then out to dinner with some of the dog show crowd.

Monday I was up before the sun and on the road to the dock for our boat trip to Tangalooma Island. The boat to the island was a beautiful fast craft with a real luxury interior. The half hour trip seemed like minutes. The Tangalooma Island resort is just gorgeous. We walked around the resort and along the beach, visited the gift shop then relaxed for a while in the VIP lounge for day guests, like us. Then it was time to board the whale watching boat. We hustled and got great seats. Then listened to the introduction and headed off to the open ocean. There is something primitive and inspiring about being on the open ocean without any land in sight, just endless water and sky. Soon enough we spotted a whale spout on the horizon and off we went to see a small pod of humpbacks which we followed for a time. We then changed directions when we spotted a pair that we watched for quite a while. As it neared time to return, we were rewarded with the sighting of a female humpback with a young calf. Our guide was even excited. It was very early for a calf and we were not just fortunate to see them, but they stayed with us very close to the boat for a good 15 minutes. Returning to the resort we relaxed and had a drink in the lounge until it was time to attend the information meeting for the wild dolphin feeding. Walking on pristine white sand into the clear blue ocean at dusk, there were 10 – 12 beautiful dolphins looking forward to their free fish. Since these are wild bottlenose dolphins, a protected species, no one is allowed to touch them, just give them the fish. The resort is careful to limit the amount of fish once a day so they don’t become dependent. What a magical experience. The dolphins were quite polite, swimming up and waiting in front of you to take the fish quite delicately in their long snouts. The one I fed took his fish, bumped my leg, and rolled on his side to look at me before taking his second fish. The intelligence of these creatures just shines through. It was awesome. All too soon it was time to take the boat back to the mainland. Watch-
ing the lights on the other boats and shore as we approached was a lovely sight. When we arrived back at the house, Sue had a delicious supper and wine waiting and we shared our experiences with her, admired Piper and her growing puppy and hit the sack. Exhaustion kept us from being up at dawn; however, we still got a fairly early start. Sue’s daughter was able to come over and watch Piper and her puppy so we got a day with Sue, and Ian got a well deserved rest. Our day began with driving to the famed Gold Coast, enjoying the gorgeous scenery, ocean views and perfect weather. It doesn’t get much better than three women on a road trip without any real agenda. We stopped at the seaside town of Byron Bay, aka Surfer’s Paradise, and did some shopping. Then on the way home we had the greatest lunch at a meat pie shop called “Satispie”. I want the franchise in the USA! We had to buy extra to have for breakfast before leaving. Joannah and I now dream of steak pies with mashed potatoes and mushy peas! We arrived back just in time to get dressed and ready for the “Outback Spectacular.” It is a sort of combination of dinner theatre, historical play, movie and rodeo. What an absolutely fantastic show! Although hard to describe, it is a phenomenal idea and performance with a fabulous authentic Australian dinner and drinks. It was the perfect end of the perfect trip. Upon arriving back “home” to Sue and Ian’s, we were delighted to see a wild wallaby in the yard, then we stood out in the perfect, clear night and looked up to see the Southern Cross, bright and shining. From the woods we heard an owl. Since the trip had to end, it was a perfect end. What a trip! What a privilege to have such friends and be invited to judge their wonderful Dobermans. I felt like the luckiest person in the world. As Joannah said, I smiled so much, my cheeks hurt! Special thanks to hosts Sue and Ian, Michael Yates and the Queensland Dobermann Club and my incomparable travel partner, Joannah. g March/April 2014

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR This picture of Tess Hensler brings back a lot of great memories. Al Martin (late)and I left the Berks County show and went over to Tess’s home (I was one of the select few who did not have to call before coming over.) Tess was home with her neice from Westfield, NJ. Tess was failing badly. Al picked her up and carried her to another bed in a room. She could barely talk but she was glad to see both of us. Two days later she passed away in her sleep. She was special to me because she taught me how to handle in her yard and spent countless hours talking about the breed and comparing their structure to the horses on the adjacent farm. She allowed me to write and article about her for Top Dobe Magazine. Bill Ward Former President of Penn Jersey Doberman Pinscher Breeders Assocaiton First off, love the magazine and wish it came every month. However, my pup earned her CGC on June 9, 2013 and her name has never appeared in your title holder section. Her name is Hoytts Czarina Alexia and she and I would love to see her name in the next issue. So thanks in advance. Please keep up the good work. Paula Richards Hello I didn’t see Eagle Ridge Primetime Sanstone listed as a new conformation champion. I believe she receive her CH on 6/29/13 Both owners and her breeder are DPCA members. (maybe I missed it?) Thanks Amy Bryant, breeder Owners Sandra Stone and Sheila Wolk
