~ ABOUT US ~

We are Kathleen Schwab and Leandro Salles. The Phanomen "dream" began in 1997 and the kennel was FCI registered in 1999.

Kathleen is a Dobermann lover since she was a child. She is an obedience and agility trainer since 1995 and show dog handler since 1997. Kathleen got into the "Schutzhund world" in 2004 and found the perfect activity with dogs and a great way of testing and selecting: exactly what she was looking for. In the training sessions she got closer to the working GSDs and shortly realized the high potential for the sport that they have. In 2008 she entered the first trials with her Dobermanns Eluna (BH) and Vodka (BH, IPO) with success.

Leandro loves working dogs and that's why the German Shepherds are his favourite. He is a Schutzhund trainer since 1997, competitor since 1999 and helper since 2001. In 2002 he won the Schutzhund National Championship in Brazil with his SchH III German Shepherd with 290 points (99-95-96). At FCI World Championship 2010 (Finland) he did a great presentation on protectionwork with Arco zo Severnej hranice.

Breed healthy dogs, with excellent temperament, correct structure and high working ability is our purpose. An excellent dog for companion, sport, work or whatever you want.
