Description:
Elizabeth’s exceptional muzzle and pronounced underjaw—traits rarely seen in females—are a clear inheritance from Chico von Forell, who also contributes to her impressive bone structure.

One of Elizabeth del Littorio’s most distinctive qualities is her remarkable temperament and nerve stability. Her outstanding fight drive and genetically strong, full bite are unmistakably influenced by the renowned Ellendonk line.
On her sire’s side, the lineage traces through D.V. working champion Nicolay v. Kloster Kamp, son of D.V. working champion

Bingo v. Ellendonk, ultimately leading to the red female D.V. working Sieger Dixi von Krakau (SchH3). Dixi, the foundation female of the Ellendonk Kennel, also appears in Elizabeth’s maternal line through Ch. Quarz del Littorio (SchH3). Notably, Quarz’s grandsire was world champion Keegan v. Ferrolheim (SchH3), whose ancestry includes Hesta von Ellendonk, daughter of Dixi von Krakau.
This convergence of powerful genetics ensures that Elizabeth del Littorio carries forward the legacy of strength, drive, and type—making her a promising contributor to the future of Dobermann breeding.
The Bloodline of "Elizabeth del Littorio"
Elizabeth del Littorio's pedigree is a result of strategic line breeding: 3-4 on Ch. Hertog Alfa le Dobry and 4-4 on Ch. Baroness Eva v. Rensloo–Bonita v. Rensloo, which together yield a 5-5 concentration on her dam, Gravin Graziedotter.
A closer examination of Elizabeth’s lineage reveals the strong influence of Ch. Bryan von Forell, particularly evident in her ideal size and excellent proportions. Her robust physique is inherited from the paternal line, which features line breeding 3-4 on Ch. Arrow v. Harrosberg and 4-5 on Ch. Vitesse von Frankenhorst. The reinforcement of Bryan’s structural traits is further supported by Medina dei Piani di Praglia, daughter of Ch. Ingo von Forell. Ingo, admired for his solid frame, traces back to Chico von Forell, a foundational figure in the modern Dobermann.
Elizabeth’s firm, well-proportioned muzzle reflects the genetic strength of Ch. Quarz del Littorio, present in the third generation. Both Medina dei Piani di Praglia and Ch. Ingo von Forell also appear in Quarz’s lineage, reinforcing these traits. Additionally, the presence of Ch. Jago von Beelen in the 5th–6th generation contributes to Elizabeth’s spirited temperament.
Elizabeth stands on two genetic pillars: Ch. Bryan von Forell and Ch. Chico von Forell. Though both hail from the same kennel, they represent distinct Dobermann types. The harmony of Elizabeth’s form—her muscular yet refined neck, parallel head planes, balanced angulations, and vibrant temperament—are hallmarks of Bryan’s legacy.
Three Distinct Genetic Tracks in Elizabeth’s Pedigree
Elizabeth’s lineage integrates three influential breeding tracks:
The Dutch Track
Featuring Ch. Don Dayan v. Frankenhorst, Ch. Hertog Alfa le Dobry, Ch. Graf Quirinus v. Nerland Stam, and Ch. Jivago v.h. Wantij.
This line contributes a square muzzle, strong bone structure, correct group angulations, and exceptional show aptitude.
The Norwegian Track
Highlighted by Ch. Guys Hilo von Norden Stam, Nimrod Hilo v. Frankenhorst, and Orpheus von Eschenhof.
This track enhances pigmentation and temperament, adding depth to Elizabeth’s character.
The Swedish Track
Through Ch. Grafin Grazie, Ch. Gravin Graziedotter, Ch. Baroness Eva v. Rensloo–Bonita v. Rensloo, and Ch. Ebo v. Groote Maat.
This influence brings elegance, ideal proportions, refined angulations, and strong prey and fight drive.
Together, these three tracks form the "Northern Root" of Ch. Bryan von Forell, shaping Elizabeth into a Dobermann of exceptional type, structure, and temperament.
