We received Nike as an older adult to better our breeding program. Nike is a direct import from Betelges Kennel in Serbia. Nike’s grandfather on his paternal side was Pathos della Querce Nere (IDC Sieger, AIAD Sieger, IDC Young Sieger, International Champion, IPO1, ZTP 1B ECC). Nike’s grandfather on his maternal side was Fedor del Nasi (IDC Sieger, International Champion, Balkan Winner, IPO1, ZTP). Nike comes from a long line of work and show European champions.
Nike has an awesome personality and demeanor. He does extremely well around people (adults and children). Nike received obedience and protection training as a young adult. Since we received Nike later in his life, we will train him for fun. Nike is full of energy and spunk!

vWD
Nike has been DNA tested for copies of vWD. There are three categories for vWD status: clear, carrier, and affected. Nike has two normal copies of the gene associated with vWD. So, he is clear. When he is bred, we ensure that he is mated with a female that is either clear or carrier so that all puppies are guaranteed to not be affected. The mating of clear to clear and clear to carrier is common practice in Doberman breeding.
DCM
Nike had an OFA preliminary cardiac test when he was younger and the result was normal.
The standard protocol for determining DCM status of Dobermans are the following tests: Auscultation, 24-hour Holter, and Echocardiogram. Auscultation is the listening of the heart. 24-hour Holter is the recording of the heart’s electrical activity during a 24 hour period. The Echocardiogram is a sonogram showing the anatomy of the heart.
At the age of 8, Nike had these three tests administered by board-certified cardiologists. Nike’s ausculation was perfect. Nike’s 24-hour Holter results came back clear with no signs of heart disease. Nike‘s echocardiogram was normal. Nike received an OFA rating of Normal for Cardio.
