Hi my name is Tom Kilafis. I was born in Greece in Kalamata and fell in love with the dobermann dog from a very young age.

Vonhellas Kennels breeding and training for 17 years now which is located in Melbourne Australia and its owner is Tom Kilafis.

My philosophy has always been breeding and education of dobermanns so as to have the perfect and complete dobermann.

In the last 17 years all our dogs have passed a complete educating test within our kennel aside from them other dogs have also been educated in our kennel with success. I have been involved in the guard dog and schutzhund ttraining for many years and was also involved in a schutzhund club which i was vice president which furthered my knowledge in the sport.

I am also privileged to say that i have travelled the world and have had the chance to acquire great knowledge from various people which is my success in importing some of the best dobermanns from all over the world most of them with schutzhund and champion titles.

Vonhellas and Meinneman Kennels with its strong association and great knowledge of the dobermann had the opportunity to produce 4 schutzhund titled dobermanns.

Id also llike to say a big thank you for the help that the late Andrew Klenke who helped me so much in aquiring more knowledge and experience R.I.P and you will always be remembered.

We hope you enjoy your visit and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.
