My life started in a family with a dog.I got my first own dog, a german shepherd in 1984.After that I have owned and handled many different breeds.
At younger age I was an enthusiastic competer in Junior Handling. My best result was ending 5th at the Finnish Junior Handling Championships.

My kennelname, Mamres was registered in 1991. The first, the A- litter, was p&s minuature schnautzers.

The story how I got involved with dobermans is maybe quite normal.. I wanted a big dog, a suitable companion for my miniature schnauzer and schnautzer. I never have been any grooming- loving person and therefor instead of getting a giant schnautzer I wanted something else with character, alert temperament but with an easy coat to take care of.

By mere accident I found Lady´s Trick Bambiina, quite a sad story in the beginning, but it turned out to be the thing that led me to the breed that I nowadays feel like "mine".

When You read the story of "Bambi" including her children and grandchildren You will know how it all started with Mamres- dobermans. Our first doberman litter, our B-litter was born in 1993 That litter included FIN CH, HK2 Mamres Big Spender, "Max", that later became the first champion of our kennel.

Many things have happened when the years went by. Times of success, happieness, good friends and a great spirit. But of course also times of difficulties, problems and misfortune.

After nearly recovering from the loss of almost all puppies of our P-litter and also their dame Mamres Iron Betsy, we could never even fear the things that followed..

The most difficult year was 2001. That year started with the loss of my beloved JK1 Mamres Hazy Shade, just started her tracking career and the only dog living with me. It was followed by losing accidentally both our young import Xikko van het Wantishof, and young Mamres Kindred Kinsman.
Xikko had sired just two litters; one of them at kennel Däsy´s and the other that became our N-litter. Xikko had been showed just a couple of times, got his BH and passed the charactertest with +250 points.
We had also been so proud of Kindred Kinsman, a young co- owned male that had succesfully started his SchH- training, succeed at shows and passed his charactertest with +234 points.

I took it so hard that my interest in everything dissapeared for a long time. Even when I got me a new dog; Mamres Kait Karlanda (at that time 3 years old) I thought I had lost the spirit for good.

But, as You can see.. We're back !

In the future I will be happy if I´ll get as much as the past has given me. The losts can´t be replaced, but all the information at my knowledge can and will be used when I look forward in producing some new Mamres dobermans.
Never forgetting the "stars" we had, not forgetting the stars we have at the moment, and still working hard for some stars to come.

Aiming for health, character and pleasant exterior. Hoping to be able to find bloodlines and implement combinations that not only serves me in the occasional litter, not only serves just the dog owner in their own individual, but also makes and keeps our breed and the lines wider.

Aiming for Mamres, - dobermans for serious fun!!
