The Straight Russian stallion Davidoff was by European and World Champion Stallion Kubinec. His dam Nikita was sired by Nrav Ibn Aswan and thus a direct granddaughter by the great Aswan. Bred in Tersk, Nrav was imported to Germany in 1981 where he was registered Narav Ibn Aswan.
Nikita's dam traces to Najada, an Aswan daughter who was imported to Henry Garde's Almenich stud in Germany where her daughter Neposa by Kilimandscharo could establish her own family. Najada was later imported to the U.S. by Howard F Kale Jr.
Nikita died at the age of 7 in 1998, producing only two more sons: Shir Khan and Tibet, both full-brothers to Davidoff. The bay Tibet was a successful endurance and dressage horse in France.
German Elite stallion Davidoff was an excellent example that show and riding quality can be combined. On the one hand he was a multi Int. Junior Champion at Halter and Top 5 at the German Nationals 2007 as a Senior Stallion. On the other hand he was state tested with getting a stallion license at Marbach in 2001 and wins in different Dressage competitions. His sons SC Dalmas, SC Dyonn and SC Dagash belonged to his most famous offspring.
Davidoff spent his final years with Hans Dieter Leist in Germany. In 2020 he preceded his full-brother Tibet in death at the age of 25.
