At the Stark Arena in Belgrade on the 23rd. February 2025. In 2008, the prestigious International Doberman Cup was held, which gathered 160 specimens of the Doberman breed from all over Europe. During the two-day competition, European-type Doberman dogs competed in eight different classes, demonstrating the high quality and standard characteristics of the breed.
In addition to the competitive part, the event also included expert lectures held by representatives of reference laboratories and veterinarians from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Belgrade. Topics focused on genetics, breeding, health testing, canine diseases, nutrition and proper care further enriched the program and provided participants with valuable information.
A special success at this prestigious competition was achieved by our kennel with a young brown male. Pegasus della Fedelissimi, 13 months old, won the Junior Class Winner title in the junior class (9-13 months), thus being declared the best young brown male.
The expert jury consisted of the renowned canine judge from Spain, Angel Pons, and judge Jordan Hristovski from Macedonia, who had the difficult task of choosing the best among the top specimens.
The audience enthusiastically followed the parades of these beautiful dogs, whose appearance and image are rapidly changing in our time, and now in a new light, uncropped ears and tails, in accordance with the new regulations of the FCI organization, get an appearance that testifies to the era of modern breeding direction, and in accordance with international provisions on animal welfare and the protection of animal rights. Although we are still getting used to it, the Doberman has not lost any of its nobility of character with which it captivates and great energy that attracts attention, which was confirmed by the excellent attendance of this event as a reflection of the high level of interest in cynology and the Doberman breed in the region and beyond. This event successfully promoted the European type of Doberman and significantly contributed to the development of the cynological scene in Serbia. A new era of racing dog breeding is upon us, and the glorious past that we are proud of is always with us on our way to creating healthy, strong, temperamental and beautiful Dobermans. Long live the Doberman!
