About the sire,
Ch. Cambria's
Cavelleria:
Young dog placing in the group, owner handled
We chose "Cosmo" because:
 | At nearly ten years of age, Cosmo has a
youthful energy that is seldom seen in a dog of his age, indicating
health and vitality. He sired this litter naturally at 9 1/2.
His
condition and age suggests that he will have a continued long
healthy life. He has been health tested for hips, thyroid,
heart,
and vWD.
|
| He is a strong champion producer, despite the few
litters that he has sired. In five litters of show age he has
produced 7 champions, one of whom is a top twenty show dog.
Cosmo appears to be an excellent champion producer.
|
| Cosmo is from a line of very successful show
dogs. His sire and dam were both best-in-show dogs. In
fact, his sire is the all time top winning Doberman in the history of
the breed and one of the five top champion producers in the breed's
history.
There were 6 champions in Cosmo's litter, including his top twenty
sister, Ch. Cambria's Carmen. This indicates that he
is not a "one off" dog, but one of many excellent specimens
in his litter. This leads us to believe that there
is breadth and depth in his gene pool.
|
| Most importantly, he has an excellent temperament
... gentle and controllable with his owners, but strong an forceful
when needed. This is exactly what the breed is all about.
|
| I judged this dog at the Houston Specialty in 1996
and awarded him his final major win to complete his AKC championship.
|
| Cosmo is a moderately built (no extremes), compact, square dog with
correct proportions. He has correct breed type. His
topline and tailset are as described in the standard. He is
balanced in angulation front and rear. His head has the required blunt
wedge with muzzle and skull being of equal length and parallel.
He has a strong muzzle and correct under jaw. Cosmo is a
sound mover. His ring presence
is excellent. |

About the dam,
Ch. Merrimac's Titania Mania :
At 13 months winning one of three shows on the highly competitive January
Florida circuit
We chose "Tallulah"
because:
| Tallulah has been health tested for hips, thyroid,
and vWD. She is
young, healthy, and full of energy.
|
| Tallulah is one of three champions in her
litter. Her littermate is a Best-In-Show winner before his
second birthday. There is a fourth littermate nearing her championship
title and one just starting.
As with the sire (Cosmo), we believe this is indicative of a strong gene
pool. Although this is Tallulah's first litter, we expect
that these two Dobermans of excellent quality and from strong gene
pools, will produce outstanding puppies.
|
| Similar to Cosmo, Tallulah has very much of a
Doberman temperament. She is friendly and responsive to her owners and
friends, but maintains a watchful eye toward strangers until they are
properly introduced.
|
| I judged this bitch in Florida on the competitive
January circuit this year (entry of 75 Dobermans). She was a
very young 13 months old, but was of such quality that she won two of
the three shows that weekend. She finished her championship at
the age of 15 months.
|
|
Tallulah is a moderate, compact
square bitch. She has correct proportions with no exaggerations
in any part. She is of correct size. One of her strengths is
her proper movement ... both in side gait and in coming and
going. Her topline is firm and she has correct balance. Her head is the required blunt wedge with equal
length parallel planes of muzzle and skull. Her expression
and attitude catches the eye, which I'm sure contributed to her
success in the ring. |
At 20 months old |
