The Doberman is a dog that symbolizes strength, elegance and unwavering loyalty, and we are dedicated to breeding the best representatives of this noble breed. Welcome to Orao Doberman Kennel, a kennel with over 50 years of experience, where we breed top quality Dobermans of European bloodline with passion and dedication.
Our story began back in 1965. year, when we laid the foundations for breeding healthy, temperamentally stable and genetically tested German Shepherds and Dobermans. Through decades of work, we have perfected the breeding methodology in accordance with FCI standards (#2393), whereby the priority has always been the health, appearance and character of our dogs.
At the heart of this tradition stands the figure of Đorđe Dragojlović, a man who embodies the old school of cynological work and dedication. His beginnings in cynology were tied to German Shepherds during the seventies, a period when one learned from masters through years of practice, respect, and honest work.
Đorđe’s knowledge of European Doberman pedigrees represents a phenomenon that fascinates even the most experienced experts. His ability to reconstruct genealogical lines decades back, to identify key sires and their influence on contemporary lines, makes him a living encyclopedia of the breed.
This exceptional gift of memory and analysis has enabled him to understand the genetic foundations of the modern Doberman population with a depth that few possess. His experience, power of observation, and almost infallible intuition have been the foundation upon which many veterinary careers began their practical work and knowledge acquisition.
Specialization in training and obedience emerged from his loyalty to traditional European methods of working with Dobermans. His approaches rest on fundamental principles of the old school – patience, consistency, and deep understanding that every dog is an individual requiring a personalized approach.
This expertise laid the groundwork for selection based on character traits that make the Doberman an ideal partner, a temperament that distinguishes the Doberman breed from all other dogs. The position of international cynological judge was earned through decades of dedicated work and learning from those who preceded him.
His reputation among masters of European cynology was built on principles of respect, work, and uncompromising devotion to breed standards. These professional connections, based on mutual respect, provided him access to bloodlines that shaped the contemporary Doberman population of Europe.
His authority in cynological circles stems from decades of proven practice, where every success was achieved through diligent work and learning from those who had something to teach. This humility before knowledge and respect for tradition form the essence of his breeding approach.
Throughout his career, Đorđe built a network of contacts with leading Doberman breeders across Europe based on principles of mutual respect and shared devotion to the breed. His selection approach was founded on traditional values – health, character, and fidelity to breed standards established and preserved by generations of breeders before him.
As a father, grandfather, and devoted husband for over four decades, he demonstrates through his life example the values he considers timeless – honesty, dedication, and loyalty to principles inherited from his teachers. These qualities form the foundation of everything lasting and valuable in working with dogs.
The natural authority he radiates and his selfless readiness to share knowledge gained through decades of experience form the solid foundation upon which all our breeding achievements rest. The legacy Đorđe left represents more than a breeding program – it is a complete philosophy of traditional approach to the Doberman breed, where what has been proven for centuries is respected and preserved for future generations.
Milan Dragojlović represents a natural continuity of family values, bringing to the kennel the energy of a new generation that embraces contemporary approaches without compromising established principles of excellence. His life story encompasses a broad spectrum of experiences – from professional martial arts achievements and travels through more than 45 countries worldwide, to a deep need to dedicate his love, respect, and devotion to what matters most to him.
This natural inclination toward dedication he has channeled through family life and continuous work alongside his father from the earliest days, in an environment that has always been defined by dogs and exotic birds. His kickboxing career, which culminated with the title of European Vice-Champion, shaped Milan’s deep understanding of the qualities needed to achieve top results.
Over 150 professional fights taught him to recognize the qualities that all champions share – mental toughness, physical endurance, and the ability to withstand pressure. These same qualities he now recognizes and values in his Dobermans, knowing that a true champion must possess not only physical strength but also unwavering will.
As a father of two children, Milan brings to his work the experience of a man who understands what it means to be responsible for those we love. His approach to selection and breeding is guided by the same care and concern he dedicates to his family. He combines the tradition inherited from his father with contemporary knowledge he constantly expands.
He is dedicated to ensuring that every Doberman leaving their kennel is worthy of the trust placed in him. His ability to “read” a dog’s character, to recognize potential for greatness or spot weaknesses in temperament, represents a gift acquired not only through years of experience but also through natural inclination toward understanding.
This intuition, combined with learned knowledge, makes him exceptional in assessing which individual will become a true Doberman – not only in exterior but also in soul. Milan regularly participates in the most significant shows across Europe, where he meets fellow breeders who share the same passion.
These connections, built on mutual respect and shared love for the breed, provide him access to the best that European cynology can offer. Every conversation with future owners is an opportunity for Milan to share knowledge and experience. He believes that choosing a Doberman is a life decision that deserves all attention and preparation.
Therefore, he never rushes but dedicates time to explain what it means to live with this unique breed – its needs, its character, and that deep bond that a Doberman gives only to those who deserve it. Under Milan’s leadership, the kennel successfully combines the best of traditional methods with the latest achievements in veterinary science.
However, the heart of his work remains the same – personal dedication to every dog and every client, because he believes that true value is measured not by technology, but by the love and attention invested in every detail.
The story of Dr. Ljubica Dragojlović begins at a dog show, where her and Milan’s love for Dobermans intertwined with first glances and shared dreams. What started as a chance encounter between two people united by the same passion grew into a life partnership that enriched Orao Doberman kennel in ways neither of them could have predicted.
As a doctor of medicine with specialization in molecular genetics and endocrinology, Ljubica brought to the family kennel not only her professional knowledge but also a deep commitment to ensuring that every Doberman is healthy in the truest sense of the word. Her medicine is not the cold science of numbers and analyses – it is dedicated care for every life born under their wing.
When she looks at her dogs, Ljubica doesn’t see just genetic profiles and health parameters. She sees future family members, dogs who will run with children in yards, guard homes, and provide unconditional love for decades. That vision is what guides every decision she makes – from the smallest details in puppy nutrition to complex genetic analyses she performs.
As a mother of two children, Ljubica understands that dogs are much more than pets – they are part of the family. Her children grow up surrounded by Dobermans, learning from the earliest days what it means to care for another being, understand its needs, and love without conditions. This family home atmosphere permeates the entire kennel, making every puppy feel loved and secure.
Her passion for botany, evidenced through a collection of over 40 orchids, speaks to her nature – a woman who enjoys the care, patience, and dedication needed for something beautiful to flourish. The same attention she dedicates to her orchids, she invests in her Dobermans – every detail matters, every moment of development is followed with love.
Her private library with over 4,000 books reflects the breadth of interests that make up her personality. From Dostoevsky to Jung, from Rilke to contemporary authors – this diversity is reflected in her ability to understand not only science but also the deeper connection between humans and animals. This cultural breadth makes her an exceptional conversationalist for people from around the world who seek not just a healthy dog, but understanding of the breed.
When speaking with future owners, Ljubica doesn’t just provide medical data. She shares her philosophy – that a Doberman needs a family that will understand, love, and respect him. Her ability to communicate with people of different cultures and expectations has enabled the kennel to become a trusted partner to families across Europe and the world.
In her work, Ljubica combines scientific precision with maternal instinct, medical knowledge with deep love for life. She believes that every healthy Doberman is their responsibility to the future – not only as breeders, but as people who understand how precious the trust is that someone places in them when they come for their greatest lifelong faithful friend.
Through five decades of work, we are proud of generations of dogs who have become part of families around the world – from show champions to faithful guardians of family hearths. Every success of our dogs is confirmation that we are on the right path, that the values we nurture – dedication, perseverance, and boundless love for the breed – bear true fruit.
Whether you are looking for a Doberman for competitions, as a working partner, or as a family member who will grow up with your children, with us you will find a dog whose genetics, character, and preparation meet the highest breed standards and your expectations.
The Doberman is a noble breed of strong character, deserving owners with courage, integrity, and something truly honorable within themselves. A symbol of beauty whose loyalty lasts forever, strength that becomes the foundation for endless gentleness, energy whose sharp intelligence and calm confidence never backs down from danger when protecting what it loves.
This breed puts its powerful instincts at the service of pure, unconditional love. A special breed chosen, loved, and truly understood only by special people. A dog of noble spirit.
Over time, if you open your heart to learn from your Doberman the most precious gift it can offer, you will see reflected in its eyes the very best of your own human soul.
Three generations of the Dragojlović family have dedicated their lives to preserving and passing on the best that the Doberman breed can offer. Our doors are open to all who share the same passion and understanding – because we believe that true love for dogs is recognized at first sight, and the Doberman is a breed that seeks and gives love without limits.
