- Judy Doniere has been owned by Dobermans since she was about 6 yrs. old. To this date she has not lived a day without them.
Upon being married to Pat in 1955 he promised he would get her a Dobe pup as a wedding present. Well, this is one promise that he kept as they went the day after returning from their honeymoon and bought a cute little black bitch. Although she was shown, she was really pet quality.
Two years later they purchased a beautiful, well-bred, red bitch they named Chemi. She was shown mostly by Judy but Pat put her finishing points on her due to Judy's pregnancy. She was Ch. Wahlmar's Baroness, C.D. Chemi became the # 1 leading dam in the nation on two occasions, thus making Pat and Judy leading breeders. All Toledobes' dogs trace in an unbroken line to her and to her six Champions.
Pat & Judy have bred/owned and finished well over 100 Champions.
In 1969 Pat became a Judge of Dobermans and now is approved for Working and Herding breeds. Judy became a Judge in 1975 and is approved for Sporting, Hound, Working and Terrier Groups and soon for Toys. They have both judged all over the world.
Judging on a weekly basis has prevented them from doing more breeding but with the aid of co-breeders the Toledobes line continues. It is also very difficult for them to get out and finish dogs of their own, therefore they keep only two bitches in their home.
Pat and Judy have been members of the DPCA since 1955 and both have served on various Committees. Pat has been a member of the DPCA BOD on a couple of occasions. He is one of the founding members of the Judges Educational Committee. Judy herself is on the Breeders Committee.
Both were founding members of the Maumee Valley DPC, Members of Senior Conformation Judges Association (Pat is President) and the American Dog Judges Association and were the founding members of the Las Vegas Judges Study Group.
They categorically state "Dobermans are our love and we will always have them".
Judy resides in Henderson, NV (Las Vegas area) but she and Pat were formerly from Toledo, Ohio. She has three grown Daughters and a Son, nine Grandchildren and two Great-Grandchildren.
Additionally they were the breeders of Ch. Toledobes Serenghetti, the all time top Working Group bitch in history as well as the all time top Doberman bitch in history. They have bred and owned many Top 20 Dobermans as well many as outstanding dogs and bitches throughout the years.
Judy is constantly striving to breed healthy, long lived, beautiful Dobermans that people are proud to own.
