Results of the Open Class for ma

Results of the Open Class for males at the 2010 German Sieger Show held in Nurnberg 3-5 September 2010

In addition to listing the names of the dogs that received top positions, you will find brief details of the pedigrees of these animals.

In providing details of these pedigrees mention has also been made of dogs in the pedigrees that failed the test of courage.

While this can be useful information for the serious breeder interested in breeding animals with strong temperament, it must be remembered that this is just one aspect of breeding.

One must always keep in mind that there are many instances where dogs and bitches, that didn’t do particular well in the test of courage at the Sieger Shows, have produced animals with completely sound, strong temperaments.

This report contains only brief details of the bloodlines of these dogs that received top positions at the 2010 Sieger Show. If you are interested in finding out more detailed information about the bloodlines of the top German Shepherds in Germany over the past years, you are invited to read the various articles that appear on my website that I set up with the sole purpose of providing any information I can to anyone keen to know more about the breed.

In 2008 Remo was only placed S.G. 21 by Otto Korber in the Jugendklasse.
He has matured tremendously in the past two years and in addition he has proved to be an excellent Sire.

His Sire, Ray vom Firchtenschlag, a son of Dux de Cuatro Flores, is now in Australia. Dux is a son of the important V.A. dog Hill vom Farbenspiel.

Remo’s Dam, Thora v. Fichtenschlag,- a sister of the V.A bitch “Tiana” - is a daughter of Wilko v. Fichtenschlag, a dog that failed courage in 2005 and again in 2007.

Kwantum is one of the Zamp son’s with strong temperament. His performance in 2008 in the test of courage was exceptional and was also excellent in 2009 and this year.

Maestro was sired by the V.A. DOG Nero v. Nobachtal, son of the V.A. DOG Enzo v. Burchhorn.

Shicco’s Dam, Nannila von der Freiheit Westerholt was V4 at the 2008 Sieger show. She is a daughter of the 2007 Sieger Pakros di Ulmental out of Fritzi v.d. Freiheit Westerholt, who failed courage and was T3 in 2004.

Arex was V.2 last year. He has been very popular stud this year with many top breeders.

Another excellent son of the double Sieger, Vegas, out of Ulli von Aurelius. Ulli was V14 in 2006 and V.A at the Italian Sieger Show in 2005. She was sired by the V.A. dog, Nero v. Nobachtal, son of Enzo von Buchhorn.

Ustinov is proving a popular stud and is being used by many top breeders. His temperament is very sound.

The Sire of Ustinov is the V.A. 2. Reserve Sieger Quantum, son of Dux della Valcovia, V.A 6 in 2001, V.A 8 in 2003, but in 2004 he was T4 and failed due to insufficient control.

Gigolo was sired by the 2006 Sieger Zamp v. Thermodos son Ole v. Fichtenslag. Ole’s Dam was the V.A. 2 bitch in 2001, Yonka v. Fichtenschlag.

The Dam of Gigolo was Una vom Winnloh, sired by Ghandi of Arlett, out of Britt v. Winnloh.

Quattro v.d. Partnachklamm was Jugend Sieger last year under Hans Ludger Goke, who praised him very enthusiastically.

Born on the 11^th March 2008, he is still a very young dog to be placed in the V.A. class.

Obviously Reinhardt Meyer thinks very highly of the young dog to have placed him in such a high position

Regarded as one of Zamp’s most promising sons, he is very highly thought of by the top German breeders who have already used him at stud to their best bitches.

Sire, Zamp. Dam Ora vom Mudesheimerland – a daughter of the highly regarded, Euro von Media, an Urus son.

Ora’s dam is Hanka vom Mudesheimerland, a daughter of Mischalands Simon who was Youth Sieger in 1997, and is a son of the important Max della Loggia di Mercanta, a dog with exceptionally good movement.

V.A. 10 – Sultan v.d. Jahnhohe – Junghund Sieger last year.

Sired by the Double Sieger “Vegas” – 2008 and 2009 – out of Irmi v.d. Jahnhohe.

Irmi was sired by Timo v.d. Jahnhohe our of Carolin vom Fichtenschlag. Timo was a son of the excellent producer Wallace aus Agrigento.

V.A. 11 – Nino v. Tronje – Second to Sultan in the Junghund class at last year’s Sieger Show, Nino has already been very widely used by many German breeders.

Sired by the Baru v. Haus Yu son, Krok Karanberg, his Dam, Nadja von Jabora is a daughter of Quentin Karanberg.

V.A. 12 Guccy y v. Heinrichplatz- Sired by the Reserve Sieger in 2008 Odin vom Holtkamper Hof, out of Juma vom Heinrichplatz, a daughter of the V1 DOG, Karat’s Yoker. Guccy was only S.G. 12 in the Junghundklasse at the last year’s Sieger Show. This represents quite a dramatic improvement in position. It would appear that Reinhardt Meyer has shown a tendency to favour animals sired by Odin as he is regarded as being a dog that consistently produces good temperaments

Paer is proving to be a very popular stud and is being used by a great many well-known breeders. He was second to Shicco in the Youth class last year and was sired by the very important, very successful dominant Sire, Quenn v. Loher Weg.

Quenn was sired by Uran v. Moorbeck who was T3 at the 2004 Sieger Show and T2 at the U.S.A Sieger Show in 2006 but Quenn himself has a perfectly sound, strong temperaments as do many of his sons and daughters.

Paer’s Dam is Yada vom Mittelwest, who was sired by the Baru v. Haus Yu son Stano vom Hasenborn, now in the the United States.

Peik was V 11 last year. He is Sired by the Yak von Frankengold son, Ilbo vom Holtkamper See, who was V.A. 4 at Aachen in 2008, out of Rema v. Holtkampfer See, a daughter of the very good producer, Wallace Agrigento.

Mentos was only SG 38 last year in the jugendklasse, judged by Hans Goke. This is a remarkable improvement from last year. Hans Goke did however, give Mentos an excellent report, but drew attention to the fact that his hocks were still loose. Obviously there has been a dramatic improvement in the tightening of his hock.

Mentos is Sired by Nando vom Gollerweiher, the son of the V.A. DOG Yello v. St. Michaels Berg, out of Quencie vom Osterbergerland, a daughter of Nicos v. Leithawald.

Reinhardt Meyer had the opportunity of seeing Mentos at the Dutch Sieger Show earlier this year, where he was placed a very high V.A. 3.

V3 Gio v. Frankengold – sired by Ingodds Agassi, V.A considered one of the best son of Ghandi v. Arlett. Gio was placed 3^rd.in the Jugendklasse at the 2007 Sieger Show.

Gio’s Dam is Daggi v. Frankengold, a daughter of the very well bred Zeppo v. Klibiner Schloss out of Fanny v. Frankengold.

Daggi failed courage test – T4 – at the 2007 Sieger Show and was placed SG 98 in the Junghundklasse in 2005.

V4 Digger v. Elzmundungsraum- sired by the Sieger Zamp, out of Xantia vom Elzmundungsraum, who was Reserve Siegerin – V.A. 2 IN 2002, but who failed courage – T3 - in 2001.

Digger has been placed in top positions for a number of years at Sieger Shows. He was V. 8 in 2009 at Ulm, and V 11 in Aachen in 2008. He has always done consistently well in the test of courage.

V5 Bill v.d. Furstenau – This American owned dog, was V 20 last year in 2009, and was U.S.A. Sieger in the same year.

Bill v. Furstenau, was sired by the very successful and dominant Sire Quenn v. Loher Weg, Reserve Sieger in 2007 out of the Sieger Bx. V. Luisenstrasse daughter Viola v.Haus Seltenreich.

V6 Cirrius v. Haus Thalie – this Belgian bred dog, V 22 last year was sired by the top Zamp son, Negus v. Holtkamper See, -V.A. 3 in 2008.

Cirrius was was Belgium Sieger last year and Holland Sieger a the the Dutch Sieger show that took place earlier this year, judged by Reinhardt Meyer. His Dam is the Belgian bred bitch Valeriane v. Haus Thalie.- grand-daughter of the important V.A. 7 DOG Ghandi v. Arlett.

It is interesting to note that although Cirrius was placed first and Mentos V.A. 3 at the Holland Sieger Show by Reinhard Meyer, this order was changed at this year's Sieger Show.

Clearly Herr Meyer thought that the performance of Mentos on the day was superior to that of Cirrius.

V 7 Koby v. Fidelius – This son of the important Quenn v. Loher Weg son, Godalis Tino , a dog the breeder Henning Setzer thinks very highly of, has made a dramatic improvement from last year when he was placed 33^rd. by Klaus Gothe in the Junghundklasse.

His Dam is the very well bred Ossina vom Fichtenschlag, a Zamp daughter out of the V.A. 2 Reserve Siegerin Yonka v. Fichtenschlag.

This combination of Quenn and Zamp bloodlines frequently produces quality animals.

V8 Hatto v. Huhnegrab is another top dog sired by by the 2008 Reserve Sieger Odin v. Holtkamper Hof out of Yonna vom Huhnegrab.

Yonna, V1at the Sieger Show in 2006, is a daughter of the double Sieger Larus v. Batu and has produced a number of excellent animals. Her Dam is the excellent producing V.A. bitch – V.A. 4 Betty v. Huhnegrab – in 2001, who comes from a long line of V.A. bitches.

V9 Ober della Valcuvia- V 15 last year is another excellent Zamp son from the well-known very successful Italian, della valcuvia kennels. As is well knonw, Zamp, is a son of the Reserve Sieger and important Sire in his own right, Quantum von Arminius.

Quantum is a son of the V.A, dog Dux della Valcujvia. Ober’s Dam, Mary della Valcuvia is a daughter of Dux della Valcuvia and so this close breeding on Dux.

V 10 Ballack zur worringer Rheinaue is another son of the Reserve Sieger Odin v. Holtkamper Hof.

His Dam Grappa zur worringer Rheinaue was sired by Flipp v. Arlett.
It’s possible that Ballack, who was V 23 last year, and V 68 in 2008, owes his high placing because of his exceptional working ability.

When one examines the bloodlines of these V.A. and top V animals it is clear how strong the influence of Zamp v. Thermodos is. His name appears time and again in the pedigrees of these animals. Quenn v. Loher Weg has also made a significant contribution to the breed, as has Odin vom Holtkamper Hof.

Although Vegas had only two animals in the top placings – Arex von der Wilhelmswarte and Sultan v.d. Jahnhohe, one of his best sons the V.A 8 dog last year Bojan vom Pendler, for various reasons that had nothing at all to do with his show condition, was not shown. Bojan however, sired the outstanding young male Ypsilon vom Laerchenhain that was S.G. 2 in a very strong Junghundklasse.

On a personal note, I was very fortunate to be able to buy the litter brother of Ypsilon - Yukatan vom Laerchenhain. This young dog is an absolute joy and delight to have in our home Besides being a very promising Show dog, his temperament is absolutely perfect.
