I'm Command Sergeant Major Mike Biere. I'm a third generation Doberman fanatic. I have loved the breed since I was a boy. My Grandfather Albert O. Biere raised and showed Dobermans in New York City during the 1930's and 40's and passed his passion down to my father and I. When my Grandfather started in the breed the Doberman was fairly new in the U.S.A. Through the years we have had many American Dobermans, but I have always wanted to personally travel to Europe and bring back the great working bloodlines. I Was stationed in Germany and Bosnia for five years. I did visit a few kennels in Germany, but decided to go farther east. The Germans don't crop and doc anymore which makes it a logistical nightmare to get the procedures done in Eastern Europe. Also in my opinion the Dobermans have a better build and look out of Germany.
The Europeans are very strick in their breeding practices producing Dobermans that still have the drive and confidence to work while still being stable family pets. It is my goal to continue having high standards for the breed while following the FCI standard. It is my opinion that many American breeders are screwing up the breed by producing Greyhoundish Dobies made for the ring and not for work as they were meant. Ever wonder why you don't see many Doberman K-9 working dogs in the U.S.? I also have a problem with every "Good Ole Boy" that is a Doberman breeder. I can't believe some of the things people tell me out there. Anyway that's my story. I hope you enjoy my website. Feel free to give me a call or email.
UPDATE: I'm now back in the USA after 3 years in Kaiserslautern Germany. I have settled in Nokesville Virginia about an hour west of D.C. My Emir passed away in 2012. He was an excellent example of a Doberman and loved family member. He was a once in the lifetime Doberman. We did add a new member to our family. Tammara Betelges. She is a wonderful Girl. I hope to breed her someday in the future. She has a great pedigree with an excellent drive and personality. Keep a look out for "Alexander the Great" zu Bierehaus in the Kentucky area. Alex is co-owned by myself and Pam Adams from Rineyville Kentucky. He is a beautiful large male from Emir and Kaiserin and very special.
My name is Michael
Biere. I retired from the Army after 32 years of service in 2022. I'm a life long Doberman lover, owner, and breeder. My Grandfather
Albert O. Biere bred and showed Dobermans in the 1930-40's in New York
City. He won the puppy class at the Westminster Kennel Club in the late 1930's. Old School!! He passed his love for the breed down to my father and I. Through
the years I have had many Dobermans as a part of my family. I'm not a big time breeder or producer. I love the breed and occasionally have a litter. I wish I had more time to devote to showing and training, IPO more so. It is my goal to produce healthy, strong, well structured Dobermans from what I believe are the best bloodlines from Europe. I do my best to avoid the common genetic issues that plague the breed when making my selections from Europe. It is
unfortunate what has happened to American Doberman lines. It is
difficult to find a Dobie here in the U.S. that has the confidence
to work. it is rare to see Dobermans in the U.S. taking part in Schutzhund
or working in police K9. This is very unfortunate and it is my
goal to help change the negative attitude in the K9
community. Unlike the USA, European Dobermans (FCI) must be titled in work before being able to show for confirmation. So a show line pedigree is not the same as in the USA and AKC.
In the past I wanted to travel to
Europe and bring back a European Doberman. In 2007 I had that opportunity.
I spent two years in Bosnia and researched the bloodlines throughout
Europe. When I had the chance I selected a beautiful
female from Altobello kennel in Serbia, home of the World Champ 2012. In 2010 I had the great
fortune to be reassigned to Germany and spent the next 3 years traveling
extensively. In 2012 I added a new member to my family with another female
from Serbia after I lost my beloved Emir from Slovakia. This time I selected
a very sturdy and muscular female pup from Betelges kennel in Serbia (Tammara). Since then and present 2023 I have imported 5 others from Russia, Ukraine, Greece and Serbia.
The Europeans and their kennel club "FCI" take
great pride and are very strict in their breeding standards. A working dog
in Europe must hold a title in its working ability before it can breed
(Schutzhund, or IPO) or show for confirmation. This produces a confident, trainable, not nervous/ skittish
Doberman with great character. Now that I'm back in Virginia I have seen
many Dobermans. Its difficult to look at them. These poor dogs are skinny
nervous examples of a breed gone unchecked. What in the world has happened
to the heads on these American Dobies?? Anyway I could rant forever on this
subject. In my kennel I strive to breed healthy, beautiful, trainable,
family "Dobermanns" by the FCI standard. Yes there is an extra "N".
This is how you actually spell the name. If you have any questions please
call or email.
Thank you,
Mike
