Doug was born the second in a family of five on August 23, 1949 in the small community of Minden Nebraska. He went on to college and holds undergraduate degrees in Art and Speech Pathology and Graduate degrees in Speech Pathology and Audiology and School Administration.

Doug and his wife Cheryl joined the Grand Island Kennel Club in 1972. Soon Doug was teaching conformation class and has continued for the past 30 years. Since 1974 he has participated in the prestigious Doberman Pinscher Club of America Judges' Education Committee, holding several positions, including Chairman. In the mid 80's, a partnership was formed between Cedar Knoll Dobermans and Kyjur Kennel which has proved extremely productive. With excellent success, Doug felt he would like to help develop the Doberman Pinscher breed and decided the best approach was from inside the ring.

Over the years Doug has bred several litters, shown many dogs to their Championships.Each doberman is special. Many dogs have been judged by his experienced eyes, gentle hands and his heart. Now Doug has combined his artistic ability and his love for the Doberman Pinscher and have forever captured these beautiful creatures into bronze.
