Walamara Dobermanns have been breeders since 1969 and have bred Best in Show (BIS) winners in every state of Australia as well as\u00a0many BIS winners at Dobermann Specialties including Best in Show at the biggest National Dobermann show ever in Australia. We have bred 8 Supreme Champions, 14 Grand Champions, and 167 Champions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We are known in many countries for the longevity of our Dobermanns and have over 200 listed on the Doberman Pinscher Club of America (DPCA) web site. I am a member of the DPCA and a Life Member of the Dobermann Club of Victoria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We have imported 4 Dobermanns from America, and 2 from Argentina to keep the quality of our lines over the years. We are very health conscious and temperament and conformation are also very important to us. We are there to help every puppy we breed for their lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
