Graaf Quirinus v. Neêrlands Stam passed the ZTP with 1B rating for character and V for conformation plus winner of numerous show titles. He lived to 11 years of age and tested clear for PHTVL/PHPV.
“This strong black male was exported to the vice-president of the German Dobermann Club, Mr. G. Müller, also the owner of von der Räuberhöhle Kennel. He and his brother Graaf Quinto are lovely specimens. Graaf Quirinus is a shorter and stronger dog than his litter brother. Graaf Quinto has the better head and has in the showring a better presence. That is the reason why in his youth Graaf Quirinus stood in the shadow of his litter brother at the shows. But as an adult dog Graaf Quirinus became very successful in both show and breeding activities. As a stud dog he has a lot to offer. Many breeders, like the Italian breeder, Mr. G. Prosperi (Kennel Campovalano) took advantage of his hereditary power. He has produced winning offspring at important shows.
Graaf Quirinus is a short dog with a very strong topline and excellent front angulation. He has a very deep chest, dark eyes and nice tan. His head is too coarse and the neck although well shaped, could be longer. Character wise he is a normal stable dog with a lot of self confidence. He has exhibited no special working ability but passed his Schutzhund III and his fit for breeding test (ZTP) with ease. He became a German and an International Champion. In 1991 he won the German Dobermann Champion Show and the title DV Sieger.
