"Igor"
Igor is the embodiment of everything a Dobermann should be—striking in looks, balanced in temperament, driven in work, and endlessly versatile. He is, without question, the most well-rounded dog we’ve ever had the privilege to own.
Whether excelling in protection work, shining in the show ring, competing in sport, or simply cuddling on the couch, Igor embraces every role with ease. His gentle nature makes him wonderful with children, while his loyalty and protective instincts ensure his family is always safe.
We often joke he’s part fish—his love for the water is unmatched, and dock diving has become his sport of choice.
Backed by a pedigree rich with world and European champions, Igor has carried forward his family’s legacy with distinction. At nine years old, he continues to compete, show, and sire exceptional puppies who inherit his beauty, versatility, and heart. Timeless in spirit, Igor remains forever young at heart.

MULTI CH MEAN-YA DE IMPERIUM VITA IGP1
"Meenya"
Meenya is truly our shining star. The cherished daughter of our beloved Anya and the 2014 IDC World Winner, Freaky Styley v. Hohenzollern, she embodies the perfect balance of beauty, temperament, and pedigree. From the moment she entered the world, she captivated hearts and quickly became the crowd favorite.
Made of “sugar, spice, and everything nice,” Meenya is as intelligent as she is endearing. She is remarkably quick to learn, easygoing and affectionate, yet carries impressive drive, boldness, and fearlessness when called upon. She is, in every way, the Dobermann we dream of.
Her achievements speak for themselves. With countless show wins to her name, Meenya has been living and competing in Europe for the past three years—dominating the ring and the field alike. She has won just about every class she has ever been entered in, earned multiple “Club Winner” titles, and collected so many trophies we are running out of space to display them. This past summer, she proudly added both her BH and IGP1 titles to her résumé.
A true carbon copy of her mother in everything but color (and perhaps a touch less opinionated), Meenya lives to perform, to show, and to shine. Whether in the ring or by our side, she continues to amaze us with her grace, spirit, and endless ability to win hearts.

GCH ANYA DE IMPERIUM TKA CGCA DN WAE IGP1
"Anya"
Anya is the pride of our breeding program—the daughter of Igor and Lily, born on 02/20/2020. She is everything we envisioned and so much more. Stunning in presence and exceptional in temperament, Anya embodies beauty, intelligence, and devotion.
From an early age, her brilliance was undeniable. At just 14 weeks old she earned her first title, Trick Dog Novice, and by 22 weeks had already advanced to Trick Dog Intermediate. She inherited her father’s passion for water, fearlessly leaping from regulation docks at only 3 months old and securing her first dock diving title by 6 months.
Wise beyond her years, Anya blends the very best qualities of both her parents. As a service dog, she performs her duties with remarkable grace and reliability. In the show ring, she soared—earning 8 championships and 3 grand championships in a single season, alongside her IGP1 title.
Her accomplishments are only matched by her heart. After raising her first (and last) flawless litter of four girls with extraordinary devotion, she has since extended her maternal love to any puppy she meets, instinctively caring for them as her own. Anya’s capacity to love, protect, and excel never ceases to amaze us.

LAZAR DE IMPERIUM VITA
"Lale"
Lale is our resident goofball and gentle soul. At just 1.5 years old, he carries himself with the wisdom of an old soul, yet still believes he’s a lap dog despite his 88-pound frame. The beloved son of Igor and Eureka v. Zogohof, Lale has been a distinguished gentleman since the day he was born.
He walks beautifully on a loose leash, has flawless recall without the use of training aids, and exudes calm politeness wherever he goes. His sweet nature and natural composure put him on the fast track to becoming an exceptional therapy dog. Lale adores everyone he meets—especially children—and we look forward to the day he begins bringing joy and comfort to hospitals and retirement homes.
But don’t let his gentle demeanor fool you—Lale is brimming with drive. Highly motivated by both food and toys, he shows great promise in sports and protection work. This unique balance of tenderness and tenacity makes him a joy to work with and to live with.
We have high hopes for Lale to one day take over the helm from his father Igor as our principal stud dog. While that day is still a ways off, with many accomplishments yet to come, for now we are simply enjoying every moment of life with him as he grows into his own.

LOLA DE IMPERIUM VITA
"Lola Baby"
Lola—affectionately known as Lola Baby—is our spunky little firecracker. She is brimming with personality, energy, and an eagerness to please that is truly second to none. Every command is executed with such joy and passion, and all she asks in return is to hear the words, “you’re the best girl.”
Like her littermate Lale, Lola’s obedience has been outstanding from the start. She is confident and reliable enough to accompany us anywhere, charming everyone she meets. Adventurous, agile, and lightning fast, Lola loves to use her nose and thrives in scent work. She has also shown incredible promise in agility, clearing obstacles with ease—though we’re taking it slow until she is fully grown. Fearless, energetic, and bold, she can go for days, yet at home she is a perfect angel who loves nothing more than curling up with her new “brother”, a giant cat, for quiet snuggles.
Now living in a cherished guardian home with our dear friend in Akron, Lola has found her place as the gym mascot at her new poppa’s fitness center. There, she greets clients daily, spreading joy and encouragement—often with a kiss—to help them push through that last set. She adores everyone she meets, whether people, dogs, or cats, though her love for her brother Lale and her guardian shines above all.
Lola will hopefully join our breeding program in the future, but just like with her brother, we are in no rush. For now, we’re simply letting her mature, explore, and conquer everything life has to offer.

GALADRIEL DE IMPERIUM VITA
"Gala"
Gala is the newest jewel of our Imperium Dobermann family. The daughter of our Tuna and the legendary Yanick del Colle Della Guardia—an 8-year-old, 2x AIAD and IDC World Winner who’s earned his IGP3 title—she carries both beauty and legacy in her blood.
We chose to keep Gala all natural, as our plans for her included showing and trialing in Europe, where cropped and docked dogs were recently restricted from competing by the FCI (a ruling thankfully overturned in August). Truthfully, the natural look suits her so perfectly that we wouldn’t have her any other way.
Intelligent, attentive, and endlessly eager to please, Gala balances brilliance with charm. A devoted cuddle bug, she insists on sleeping on her back like a human while snoring like a sailor. At first we wondered if her relaxed demeanor meant she lacked drive—but it turned out she just needed her beauty sleep before showing us her true spirit.
Once awake, Gala is unstoppable. She has taken to her training effortlessly, with both enthusiasm and determination, and at her very first show, at a mere 6 months of age, she not only earned her championship title but claimed Best in Show—a dazzling start to what we know will be an extraordinary career.

CH MIGHTY TUNA DE IMPERIUM VITA
"Tuna"
Tuna—our powerhouse beauty from the unforgettable “Fantastic Four” litter—is Meenya’s full sister and every bit as extraordinary. Strong and athletic, yet endlessly affectionate, she is often described as “a female in a male’s body,” a trait she proudly inherited from her grandmother.
Tuna is as versatile as they come. She adores children, thrives in any environment, and is the kind of dog who can accompany you on any adventure with ease. She has never met a dog she didn’t like (and even cats win her over—though alley cats may be testing her patience lately). Her obedience is flawless, her drive is boundless, and yet she possesses one of the best natural “off-switches” we’ve ever seen. Simply put, Tuna is always ready when called, but just as content relaxing at your side.
In the show ring, Tuna dazzled. In just one season in Europe, she earned three championships in three different countries, turning heads everywhere she went. Her pedigree—by Anya and the 2014 IDC World Winner, Freaky Styley v. Hohenzollern—shines through in both her talent and her elegance.
This past year, Tuna blessed us with a beautiful litter of 11 puppies, proving herself to be an incredible mother. Following her contribution to our breeding program, she is now retired and enjoying the pampered life she deserves with one of our cherished long-term puppy families in Cleveland.

FCI CH ULLISSA DI ALTOBELLO CGCA TKN
"Lily"
Lily was purchased and imported by us as a two-year-old, yet from the moment she arrived it felt as though she had always been part of our family. She blessed us with two beautiful litters filled with accomplished pups before retiring from our breeding program, and today she is living her best life as a beloved companion on a farm in Vermont.
There, Lily has found her soulmate in a little boy whose very first word wasn’t “mom” or “dad,” but “Lily.” Watching their bond grow over the years has been nothing short of magical. Whether swimming together, playing in the fields, or simply sharing quiet moments, Lily has never left his side.
Now at eight years old, she remains as stunning, healthy, and spirited as ever. Though retired for several years, she will always hold a place of honor on our page—for there would be no Imperium Dobermann without Lily.
As beautiful as she is gentle, Lily brought a feminine grace into our home. Built like a boulder yet moving with the elegance of a deer, she is the perfect balance of strength and refinement. Easygoing and endlessly sweet, she is happy to join in on any adventure—though don’t let her calm demeanor fool you. With a ball in sight, Lily lights up, brimming with drive and excitement to work.
Her quirks only make her more lovable: claiming the entire couch for herself, hoarding shoes as if they were treasures, and nesting them in her bed. Brilliant and eager to learn, she even mastered English commands soon after arriving from Europe—proof that you can indeed teach an “old” dog new tricks.
With a pedigree rich in champions and a championship title of her own, Lily is far more than her accolades. She is the heart of our program, a once-in-a-lifetime companion, and the matriarch whose legacy will always live on through Imperium Dobermann.
