Our History

MEMBERS OF THE KENNEL CLUB ASSURED BREEDERS SCHEME


HISTORY FROM THE BEGINING

Krieger Dobermanns is a well-established kennel from Largs on the west coast of Scotland, founded by my dad John McILroy & now owned in conjunction with My dad, myself Penny McILroy-Stracey and both my daughters Louise  & Rebecca. 


We bought our first Dobermann 'Kissy' [Zytan Ajamais] from Jim & Liz Templeton in 1980, tragically at 7 months old Kissy died from leptospirosis, even though she had been inoculated. We went back to the same breeders and bought Farrah- [Zytan Sand Gold] who was a brown and rust bitch. This was our foundation from which all our stock descends. Farah’s pedigree was a combination of Mat Greerson kennel [Rioghal] & Margaret Bastable's import [German Champion Greif Von Hagenstern] on the dam’s side. On the sire’s side was Peter Clark's famous [Clanguard] kennel. Having European breeding in Farah’s pedigree we decided on a European import as a stud dog for her - [ Ibsen Jingo Von Ferrolheim ] owned by Stan MacDonald [Von Mac affix] this resulted in a litter of 8 puppies of which we kept 2 - Tanya [Reintraud Entchlossen] & Cesar [Deinhard Krieger].


Our affix was first registered by the Kennel Club in the early 80's after Cesar [Deinhard Krieger] won his stud book number which earned us the right to own an affix. As a tribute to this beautiful dog our affix could be nothing less than 'Krieger' since then we have bred multiple stud book qualifiers, junior warrant titles and 9 UK Dobermann Champions - .Ch Krieger Rhythm 'n' Blues (Indi); Ch Krieger Sure Shot JW (Fritz) & his litter brother Ch Krieger Storm JW (Sam) [both sons of Ch Tavey's Uproar of Davway] ; Ch Krieger Endless Love JW (Ellie) -"Crufts Champion 2006"; Ch Krieger Endurance (Mac), Ch Krieger’s The Wizard Of Oz JW (Lyle) & in 2021 Lyles son Ch Krieger’s Foul Play; in 2022 Our Whirlwind, Record Breaking, Brown Duracel Bunny entered the ring UK, Bel & Lux Ch Krieger's Highland Fling JW (Lucia) [please see her page for her wins] and lastly  UK Ch Krieger's Lasting Image JW gained his crowning 3rd CC at South Wales October 2025,


In 2005 our first Miniature Pinscher Roxy - Minimanns Cream of Ulster came into our lives from Colin and Wilma Johnston. We decided to get a second breed as Beccah was too little to show our Dobermanns, the min pin seemed the perfect choice after a lot of research. Beccah had fairly good success with Roxy gaining her stud book number and wining many junior handling competitions, 2008 we decided to mate Roxy with a lot of advice from the lovey welcoming min pin people, we decided to use Ch Bellpins Wear the Fox Hat at Dimogen owned by Di & Dave Gentle. From our foundation litter we have used various dogs from round the world in our breeding program , to date we have bred 8 UK Miniature Pinscher Champions. [Please see our Miniature Pinscher page of more details


My husband Richard and I live in seaside town of Largs along with our 2 daughters Louise & Rebecca . We also share our house with 5 Dobermann's & 7 Miniature Pinscher's. All our dogs are first and foremost much-loved family pets living within our home and are not kennelled, this to us is a testament to the temperament of our dogs as normally they all live together in harmony. As a hobby we show our dogs successfully with most judges appreciating the conformation type and temperament of the dogs.
