Breeding History of Kennel Fürstenfeld
article by Bitten Jönsson (Jotunheim kennel, Denmark)
based on research made possible though various breeding records and by ourselves.
It is actually amazing to see, what the breeders have achieved in a period of 100 years. Going back into the history of how the Dobermann became the Dobermann breed. One discovers that the Dobermann is the worlds largest cross-breeds of pure breeds of today. Some of the dogs which we know that are represented within the Dobermann breed are:
Mastiff, Rottweiler, German Pinscher, German Dogge, German Shepherd, Manchester Terrier, Gordon Setter, Weimeraner, Greyhound
Some of these dogs, have had minor or major influence on the breed of our magnificent, noble Dobermann of today. One can only say, that the breeders of that time, have had the feeling, knowledge and the ability to select the correct dogs for future breedings.
Throughout time there have been, and still are, many distinguished breeders, among these Herman Palmer, the founder of Kennel Fürstenfeld
