Please contact Rio Gran 10 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine Arg/Am GCH Phillmar Sobe Monster WAC x Rio’s Standing Room Only Luca translated from Italian means “light.” In a world that can be filled with darkness and difficulty, the wag of a Doberman’s tail, the perk of his ears, and the look of unconditional loyalty in his eyes brings light shining through the heart of every Doberman lover. Luca was born on a day of significant personal meaning to me. Five years to the day before his birth marked a day of darkness in my life, the death of a loved one. When one light extinguishes, another spark ignites to burn brightly. While it took time to cope with my loss, I see now how wisely life circles back again to brighten that once dismal anniversary in July with the birth of a bouncy puppy. Luca is that light. A dog of light, grace, beauty and love. Then, why give him a name for one of the most infamous fictitious mob characters in all of literature? Luca is my protector. This dog, who emulates happiness and silliness, is as fiercely loyal to me as Mario Puzo’s Luca Brasi was to his don, The Godfather. As any Doberman owner knows, that unmistakable growl that comes as a warning to anyone threatening his family is this dog’s highest honor to bestow. We are his to protect. Fearless, uncompromisingly loyal, and willing to sacrifice himself for us. Like many Dobermans loved among us, Luca’s loyalty knows no bounds. I can’t help but think Puzo would be proud. When my husband Jeff and I went to look at several tiny red male puppies on Visiting Day at Rio Gran in Hastings, MN, I wasn’t sure this was the right time in my life to take on the work of raising a puppy. I had grown up with Labradors and Schnauzers as a child, and remembered some of the commitment of dog ownership. While my mother was currently breeding her Miniature Schnauzers and had firsthand experience at raising litters, she lived across the country. The work was left up to just Jeff and me, along with our two older daughters, Lauren and Anna. Jeff wasn’t exactly a ‘dog person.‘ And, I was newly pregnant! Apparently, I was a little more daring than rational while pregnant. After throwing caution to the wind, we came home with a feisty red boy who wore a brown ribbon in September 2011. Hand picked at eight weeks old to be a show dog by my dear friend Vicki Barker, a top terrier handler, Luca was gorgeous and extremely intelligent. Vivacious and determined, Luca, however, April, 2013 2nd Place Puppy Sweepstakes 12-18 mo. at 2012 DPCA National Luca gazing at Karin Fox at 2012 Nationals Megan, Luca and Ella, February 2013 wasn’t the easiest puppy to raise. As I grew bigger, he grew stronger. With plenty of help from the Beskaus and staff at Rio Gran, I was able to manage Luca’s intelligence and audacity and turn it into trained responsiveness. That spark in Luca that gave me fits as a pregnant puppy owner also gave me great comfort that he would protect me and my unborn baby someday. That same inextinguishable flame we all saw at eight weeks old grew brighter in Luca, giving him a charisma that lit up the show ring and promises to guide him to a very bright future. Sincere thanks to the incomparable Karin Fox for finishing Luca’s Championship at just over a year of age — with four majors. Karin, you afforded us the opportunity to bond with our newborn daughter Ella by taking Luca under your care. We are incredibly grateful for that gift. I didn’t know how lucky we were to have Luca handled by you until I saw the way you moved with him in the ring and that look of devotion he still has for you. To Karen, Amy and Kayla Beskau at Rio Gran, I am so grateful to have such a well bred, well trained and sweet tempered dog because of you. Your help, guidance and expertise throughout this journey has meant so much to our family. Thank you to all three of you for handling Luca to his Grand Championship majors and International and National titles. Sincere appreciation to DaKota Tilleraas for all of her training, devotion and handling Luca to his first Rally (RN) title. This has truly been a team effort! Thank you, Libby Hargrove, for training us how to train Luca. We are better Doberman owners because of your guidance. To Vicki and Emily Barker, thank you for always being there during this journey. Your advice has been top notch. I look forward to watching Luca shine in the specials ring with you soon. Without Mary Klein, Hector and Alicia Farias and Phillip Martin who allowed Arg/Am GCh Phillmar Sobe Monster WAC to be bred into Rio Gran’s program, we would not have such a bright light in Luca. A special acknowledgment to all the judges along the way who have recognized Luca’s excellence in the ring. I am forever grateful to you all. To my husband Jeff and our daughters Lauren, Anna and Ella, thank you for living with this silly, spunky dog who brings such a warmth to my heart. We are his to protect and love.

Spring has finally sprung! Although it was a relatively mild winter here in Wisconsin, it sure did last a long time. But now the melting snow has produced.... MUD. Over the years I have tried many ‘solutions’ to the problem, from wood chips (they blew away when a tornado hit a nearby town) to horse shavings, none have worked for long. Short of pouring a concrete yard, (and who wants that?) it seemed hopeless. For the first time I have tried sand and it really seems to be working! 30 bags of tube sand (a unique combination of sand and some unknown gritty stuff) later my dog yards are mud free! Time will tell on how it holds up to heavy rain and the dogs do bring sand in on their fur but it is easily swept or vacuumed up. This is the editors page and I get to talk about what ever I like, right? Okay, enough silliness. I really enjoyed putting together the Doberman History this issue, what a fascinating article on Delly. My whole life I’ve been interested in history, my philosophy is, it is important to know where you’ve been to know where you are going. Not only can we learn from someone else’s failures but their successes as well. Thanks to Ray Carlisle for his reprint permission. And a get well wish for Ray after his surgery in March, hope we see you judging at shows soon. I was very surprised when Marj Brooks and Wanda Gipp guessed the December’s Who Dat? I didn’t know either one of these ladies when I was in my early forties. It was supposed to hard to guess! This issue’s Who Dat? is also supposed to be hard — let’s see if I’m right. The June issue brings us the owner handlers. I haven’t been in the ring with one of my Dobermans for over two years, just can’t run around the big ring anymore! So far I can still manage with my terriers. Although I know handling is not for everyone, it is so very rewarding to be a team with a dog you live with and possibly bred. This issue is one of my favorites and I am looking forward to our featured owner handlers: Mallori Nickerson from Texas. Eric Peterson also works with elephants, I hope he brings some of his zoo experience to his article. Ashlee Claggert is our youngest owner handler feature finishing the Von Orman Dobermans. It’s wonderful to see the young handlers coming along. Nancy Young of Dillon Dobermans has a long history in the breed and has done very well with her dogs. This is the time for the owner handlers to do their bragging! In a breed known for being handled by the pros lets show everyone how many of us there really are!

Jim Briley Dobermans of Aquarius Jim and Dessa, Winning Best in Show, April 1990, under judge Lena Wiseman at the Olive Branch Mississippi Kennel Club 16 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine In the late 1960s a friend asked me to go with him to an Obedience Trial he had heard about so I accepted his invitation and off we went. I knew very little about dog shows or obedience trials. My love then was horses and racing horses at the county races in our community and sometimes even riding as a jockey. Any way, upon arrival at the trial I was truly amazed at what I saw these amazing dogs performing. One young girl in particular, totally impressed me her with her well trained Doberman. She had him do all sorts of exercises using only hand signals. This young girl happened to be none other than Theresa Nail. At the time I had no idea who Theresa Nail was, but fortunate for me I have gotten to know her very well through the years. I’d like to add I think she is the model all should follow as far as good sportsmanship goes. On that day she had the best trained Doberman there and besides he was gorgeous (very much like a stallion). I mentioned to my friend that I thought I would like to try to do something like that. He thought I was kidding, but I was serious. Some time later this friend called and said he had heard of a gentleman in Lafayette, Louisiana who had a young female Doberman for sale that he thought he might like to buy and did I want to come and have a look also. So off we went April, 2013 1979, Ch. Bailes Beau Rikki of Rehbar. Beau was Jim’s first owner handled Champion. 1989, Ch. Ravenswood Odessa Von Aquarius winning Best of Breed under judge Judy Doniere. Jim’s favorite Dobe, Ch. Aquarius Hy-Lite V Ravenswood. Sandy is by Vanessa, out of Cryptonite. to see this Doberman. I thought she was gorgeous but my friend had small children and said he would pass on buying her. The owner saw how much I liked her and called me that night and offered to sell her to me. I was a school teacher and had very little money but the man said I could buy her for $150.00 and he would deliver her. I decided to do this and the next day the owner delivered her to me and when she stepped out the van I thought she was the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. Her name was Anamor Holly V Marks-Tey so at least I had gotten a Dobe with a good pedigree. This was the beginning of my Doberman life!!! She had no training and I had no training experience, so off I went in search of a book on obedience training. I lucked out and found an obedience book written by Blanche Saunders. I immediately began training. I heard of an obedience trial being held in Baton Rouge so I decided I would attend and learn how much progress I had made in my training. After all the judging had been completed my number along with the number of another exhibitor was called to return to the ring. I had no idea why but when I got to the ring was told that there had been a tie between the two of us so to break the tie we would be given commands to perform and the one who held out the longest without error would be the winner. After a few commands of “forward, stop”, etc., I was declared the winner and to this day I have never won a larger trophy. I continued working Holly in obedience and she was HIT several times. I brought through her CD, CDX, and her UD in just shy of two years. While doing all of this I started teaching obedience classes in our little town of Opelousas and enrolled all dogs (purebred or not) wanting to participate. We held classes in the city park so we had many spectators, especially on graduation night where all were given certificates. Even today and quite frequently I have someone come up to me and talk about the fun we had in our obedience classes forty plus years ago. I later gave up obedience and wanted to try my hand in conformation and contacted breeders advertised in the Doberman Quarterly. I contacted Holly Woods Dobermans and ending up buying Holly Woods Hot Chocolate, a beautiful red bitch sired by Derringer who was a Dictator son, I believe, and she was from the last litter he sired. Both Jeff Brucker, and I tried to finish her but too many judges found her too big. She did earn 6 or 8 points with a major won under Bob Slay. At the time we were going through the wave of Dobes being ‘too big’. We all know the different characteristics in our Dobes go through wave changes from time to time. Mrs. Peggy Adamson of Damasyn Dobermans was the most influential person in my Doberman life. She consistently bred Dobermans that were standard and with good temperaments. She was always willing to help a new comer and further shared her knowledge through the many articles she wrote. She devoted her life to the betterment of the breed in her breeding program and later as a judge. She was my mentor in the Doberman breed and gave me many good lessons on proper judging. Some of the lessons she taught me, I still have and review from time to time. In her judging she was very much into seeing a dog stand on his own rather than being strung up by the handler. Her untimely death was a great loss to the Doberman breed and I’m sure, like me, she is missed by many. I am a ‘pack rat’ and have maintained a library of most Doberman April, 2013 The Doberman Pinscher Magazine | 17 books, magazines going back to 1968, and even have several Doberman Organs, the title of the official DPCA magazine back in the late 60s. I still like to read these and find them very interesting and it helps to see the changes in the breed both good and bad. Over the last 45 years I have seen many changes in the breed, and I say mostly good, but then I am an optimist, and many still say the breed is going down hill. I look and study my old DQ’s, Dobe Monthly’s, Top Dobes, Dobe Editions and find many Dobes pictured would not cut in the ring today. Too many straight fronts, roachy toplines, too croupy, and too many low tail sets, etc. I think breeders have concentrated on making a Doberman pleasing to the eye and totally with ‘the look of eagles.’ That’s what I try for anyway!! As I mentioned earlier, Doberman characteristic sought after changes come and go in waves. So as time goes by we, as breeders, breed to change whatever characteristic we feel needs to be changed. As an example I don’t know many in the breed who like down faces so we breed to change 1994, Ch. Aquarius Fist of Fury. Bruce being awarded Winners Dog under judge Lowell Mathis. 18 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine this or whatever other characteristic we feel is not correct. All of this, in my opinion, is very good and important as we are all striving for producing the perfect Doberman. To me, this is what breeding is all about and I feel the state of the Doberman today is in good hands with the many good breeders all striving for the same thing, the perfect Doberman. Like most others just starting out, I had no particular kennel name in mind and tried out several but none seemed to fit and didn’t last very long until I came up with the name Aquarius, simply because I am an Aquarian, love the water, and like the way it goes with names I choose. I used Aquarius on my first show litter and have used it on all breedings I have been involved with since then. That first litter was co-bred with my friend, Richard Brue, who I had known for a long time and was happy when he asked me to co-breed his beautiful Ch. Rehbar Anissa to Ch. Angels Beau Geste. This breeding went back to mostly all Ahrtal Dobes. From this breeding came Ch. Rehbar Delissa V Aquarius, my foundation bitch, Top 20 bitch and dam of my first 7-8 AKC champions. By then I felt I was on my way in handling and breeding. After all, I had already finished my first champion, Ch. Bailes Beau Rikki V Rehbar! My goal then, as is today, was to breed Dobermans who were standard, healthy, and could achieve AKC Championship titles. As the years have come and gone, I have bred and/or co-bred 85+ AKC champions with most coming from Aquarius bitches. I always try to stress to prospective breeders this fact — it is a waste of time, money, and effort to try to breed a poor quality bitch to a super stud and get quality. It doesn’t happen. I stress the fact to get excellent breed type you must breed quality to quality. Only then do you have a good chance of getting what you are striving for. If one cannot do this then the breeding should not take place. Back when I first decided to get a show dog it was between getting a Boxer or a Doberman. I decided on the Doberman because of its elegance, cleanness through the head, and little drooling. Yet today my sec- 1994, Ch. Aquarius Damien V Ravenswood, sired by Ch. Marienburg’s Teller of Tales out of Aquarius Anissa V Ravenswood. 1994 Quaker Oats Award Winner • 1994 #1 Working Dog • 1995 Best of Breed Winner DPCA National • Winner of 50+ BIS Handled by Carlos Rojas April, 2013 ond choice would be a Boxer as this is a breed I thoroughly enjoy judging. Someone recently asked me to name the three best or greatest male Dobermans I have ever seen or knew of and to give my reasons for choosing these. The best three Dobermans I have seen and know of are Ch. Brunswig’s Cryptonite, Ch. Nello’s Lex Luthor, and Ch. Marienburg’s Sun Hawk. All three have been able to prove themselves in the show ring by winning under top knowledgeable judges nationally and internationally. However, in my opinion it takes more than ‘just winning’ to be classified as best or great! These three Dobermans also were very pre-potent and had the power to transmit heritable characteristics to bitches that were lacking these characteristics. Breeders who had insight and knew what they were looking for in their bitches utilized the services of these studs and rightly so making each of these dogs ‘great’. Hence, this is certainly why today we see the names of these three Dobes in a high percentage of pedigrees of the dogs winning in the ring today and we will continue to see these names in pedigrees for many years to come. Dobes who are lacking in the two mentioned criteria: show success and prepotency for making a dog best or great do not appear as frequently in pedigrees. There are exceptions to every rule and I realize there are best or great who have not reached this status for many reasons such as lack of finances to continue their show career after completing their championship. For example almost eight years ago Ron Babics, my co-breeder, and I had the opportunity to purchase a male from Argentina with a pedigree which included Aquarius Dobermans who had been sent to Argentina years ago. Immediately when I saw Inaqui at the Nationals and thought of him as great or best and perhaps we should get a puppy, if possible, with this pedigree. The blending the South April, 2013 American dogs with our Dobes has been a big plus. So, lucky for us, we were able to purchase an Inaqui son, Trotyl de Black Shadow. Trotyl finished his championship here in short order, however, neither Ron nor I had funds to finance a specials career for Trotyl, therefore he was never shown after he completed his championship. However, I feel that he has achieved greatness in what he has been able to produce with bitches of totally different pedigrees and to date has produced 55+ AKC champions and many more other countries. I feel that he certainly qualifies for great of best in the prepotency category. Of course we all know of many other great dogs and bitches who qualify as great or best but have not been able for one reason or another to continue their show career. About 10-12 years ago Ron Babics and I joined forces and have bred several litters and I feel have been successful in this endeavor. We have incorporated South American Dobes into the program though the utilization of semen from Ch. Nellos Lex Luthor, Inaqui, and Trotyl. One of the most successful breedings was the cross between Ch. Aquarius Black Rain, a Lex Daughter, to Trotyl, a Lex grandson. There were 7 puppies and four finished their AKC championship with Garbo, one of the puppies, being Best Puppy and Reserve Winners Bitch at the Nationals in 2009. The other 3 puppies went to show homes but for whatever reason were not shown and did not complete their championship. Thankfully they are in loving homes which is what comes first with Aquarius Dobermans. Many years ago being certified to teach exceptional children, my class always called me Mr. B and our slogan was “In Mr. B’s class every stu- 2008, Ch. Aquarius Red Sapphire Ch. Trotyl de Black Shadow x Ch. Aquairus Black Rain, onwed Tim & Jaron Stone. dent is a winner!”. When I was really active as a breeder our slogan had become “Aquarius where every dog is a winner!”. I believe in the slogan and feel that every dog we breed can be a winner in something whether it is in conformation, a good pet, a good obedience dog, or an agility dog. Whenever we plan a litter, careful consideration is given to all the usual health testing, prepotency of the sire and dam if known and also many of the dogs in the pedigree. I have always had a little ‘philosophy’ in my breeding program and this is “If you like what you have don’t stray too far out or you will lose the traits you like”. By this I mean I study the traits of both male and female and the traits of the other dogs in the pedigree and try to learn how dominant these traits have been in puppies produced. For instance, I used Cryptonite several times mainly because I needed to improve fronts, in depth and width of fore chest. Until I used him I had With the low point system almost any Dobe shown for a long enough period of time can earn the title of Champion. The Doberman Pinscher Magazine | 19 2012, Ch.

Aquarius Wally World v Sandia) owned by Zelda Casanova is Aquarius’ most recent Champion. always had front problems. Knowing the pedigree of both parents and their ancestors is of utmost importance in making a breeding decision. One of my favorite breedings was the cross between Vanessa and Cryponite. This breeding was a co-breeding done by Betty Clark and me. The first breeding produced 7 puppies and the second breeding again produced 7 puppies. Four finished in the first litter and all 7 finished from the second breeding. Apart from these two breedings, Vanessa produced 3 additional champions sired by different studs giving her a total of 14 champions, making her dam of the year in 1991, with her daughter Odessa winning the DPCA Top 20 20 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine same year with me handling. In addition to all this, Betty Clark and I were breeders of the year also. What more can a breeder ask for? Have I ever had bad breedings? A definite yes to that question. Back then, I had a beautiful black champion bitch and Jim White had a beautiful red male sired by Cryptonite and some said he looked more like Cryptonite than Cryponite did. Anyway, I loved the dog and bitch and all looked good so the breeding took place. Fortunately, there were only 3 puppies and all 3 turned out to be very pet quality. This was a disappointment and the bitch was bred once more but nothing good came of it so she was spayed and I let a good friend keep her so she was a loving pet the rest of her life. My last breedings have been cobred with a long-time friend, Tim Stone. He has been interested in breeding for some time. I know he will be an asset to the Doberman world as he has long been very passionate about the breed. Several champions have been realized since his involvement. Changes in the ‘Dog Show Game’, my take: I have been in the ‘dog show game’ for 40 plus years and basically the shows have stayed pretty much the same in purpose and procedure. As in the past, the point system changes each year based on numbers shown in the past year. The addition of the Grand Champion has been a good change as it allows exhibitors to show off their dogs for a while longer and seems to me the exhibitors like this new class as there are always several entered. Probably the biggest change in dog shows is the high cost of the whole dog show scene, including the entry fees, staying in hotels, and here recently the outrageous rise in the cost of gasoline. When we look at all the increases it is easy to see why the entries in shows have gone down so drastically. When I first began showing, entry fees ranged around $7.00 compared with today’s fee being in the area of $30.00. I remember one of the first shows I attended was in Meridian, Mississippi and up in the front of the hotel was a large sign welcoming dog show exhibitors stating “Reduced Hotel Rates $11.99 per room.” Now the rates would be around $99.00 per night. Because of the vast increases in all areas of showing it is making dog shows something for the elite only and this is very unfortunate. It is being realized more and more as one travels to shows and not seeing exhibitors who were always present before. The cost of shipping dogs, like everything else, has gone up so much it is near impossible to ship. When I first started showing I shipped a bitch to handler Monroe Stebbins in New York from New Orleans and the shipping cost was $39.00. Now it would cost $500.00. Additionally, he charged a handling fee of $35.00 and a boarding fee of $5.00 per day. Compare this to today’s costs! Probably one of the things that have changed dog shows more than anything for the Doberman breed is the big change we have seen in the entry numbers which resulted in the lower point system. When I first began showing Dobermans it took 35-38 males to make a major. Now in several areas it takes 13-15 for a major. This is not a good thing as I see it because it has lessened the value of the meaning of Champion in front of a Dobes’ name. With the low point system almost any Dobe shown for a long enough period of time can earn the title of Champion. This is just my take on it and I’m sure is not agreed by many. The breeding of dogs has changed more than dog shows because today serious breeders are requiring more health testing than in the past. Before all this testing came about, usually the only test breeders required was an x-ray of hips so an 0FA # could be obtained. Now the number of tests required is endless. Again this is very costly but I certainly feel this is something which is much needed. Thank you for asking me to be a part of your informative magazine. I hope I managed to cover some of the topics our Doberman world faces today! g April, 2013 Thanks Jim for starting me out. Ralph and all my dogs go back to your wonderful Vanessa.

Darwin’s Dance of The Hour, WAC Dandy at 5 weeks, asleep on his toy. Below: Dandy’s stacked pic at 8 weeks. The Dandy Man... Dandy’s story will be told in three parts from the three women who’s lives he touched the most — Marilyn Altheide, Darlene Young and Erin Pina Cody. By Marilyn Altheide Dandy’s Early Days 1996, Dandy at 1 year with his breeder & handler Darlene Young. 26 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine When our Ch. Darwin’s Fantasia was pregnant with the Ch. Maco’s Sugar Twin litter, I said “Tasia, this is going to change our lives!” I never knew how true those words would be! Tasia and Maco produced a litter of two red bitches and four red dogs. One of the boys was given the blue collar. This puppy always stood out on the ground or on the table: he carried himself with a lot of confidence, and despite my best efforts to only pay attention to the girls, the blue collar boy continued grabbing visitors’ attention. Grading day arrived and everyone picked the blue collar boy because, ‘He had it all’. By that late evening, we had very sick puppies: Parvo virus, every breeders nightmare. I worked at a veterinary hospital and probably brought it home, an experience I never wish to repeat. We nearly lost the entire litter, and after spending 12 days in intensive care, and losing one of the bitches, Dandy and his litter mates were shells of the outstanding puppies with so much potential we graded just nearly two weeks prior. After we controlled the physical damage of Parvo, our work was cut out to repair the emotional damage the disease caused. This was certainly a set back for the puppies with socializing, training and getting into their new homes. However, with much intensive work April, 2013 Left: Dandy’s sire, Ch Maco’s Sugar Twin Below: Dandy’s dam, Ch. Darwin’s Fantasisa on both Darlene’s and my part, each surviving puppy was able to make a full recovery both physically and mentally. Despite their encounter with a potentially devastating disease, the puppies grew and blossomed into incredibly sound dogs. Dandy’s Family Tradition: the DPCA Futurity Ch. Maco’s Sugar Twin was awarded the DPCA’s Grand Prize Futurity in 1990 from the 6-9 month class, judged by Carol Petruzzo. Dandy won Grand Prize Futurity in 1996, following in his father’s Maco’s paw prints. Michelle Lewis awarded Dandy Best Junior. Her comments, as published in the DPCA Pipeline read, “This dog was one of the soundest overall dogs that I judged.” Cindi Huckfeldt awarded Dandy Grand Prize Futurity. Her published comments were, “When viewed standing, his overall appearance was that of a compact square dog with lovely bone and substance of correct size. When viewed moving he was undeniable.” We now had two generations of a family tradition! Two years later, 1998, the Grand Prize April, 2013 Futurity winner was a Dandy son from the 6 – 9 months class: Ch. Foxfire’s Gotta Dance,WAC. This was now three generations of futurity winners. In 2000, Grand Prize Futurity winner was a beautiful, compact black bitch: Ch. Gallant’s The Witching Hour v. Ciden, Mona and Cindi’s, Gracie. I was so nervous watching because I didn’t think it could happen again. All I could do was ‘coach’ ringside with Mona and Katie Fasth by repeating, “Pretty, Pretty, Pretty” until Alisa Brotherhood pointed at her; it was Gracie’s day. 2000 was the only year Dandy was shown in the Stud Dog Class. Dandy won with littermates Gracie and Kohl, Ch. Gallant’s Midnight Hour v Ciden behind him. What a thrill!!! Two years later in 2002, Kohl sired the Grand Prize Futurity winner, Ch. Gallant’s Midnight Fiesta v Ciden, a Dandy grand daughter. Grand Prize Futurity winner in 2003 was the Dandy great-grandson, Ch. Cha-Rish Star Quest Blu-J’s, Hunter. Hunter took my breath away; it was like living the futurity win all over again. This was the same location that Maco had won in 1990 under the same judge, Carol Petruzzo. The 2006 DPCA Grand Prize Futurity Winner was Ch. Gallant’s Meadow Magic V Ciden. Wishes is a Dandy greatgranddaughter. I was there to see her win and the thrill never gets old. But Dandy still had some more dabbling to do in the DPCA’s futurity. Ten years after Michelle Santana won Grand Prize Futurity with her Dandy son, she pointed to the double Dandy great granddaughter, Ch. Perfex Cyclone Mahina in 2008. It is such an honor to have Dandy represented this way in an event his sire won in 1990. Dandy as a Stud Dog Dandy was an easy dog to live with, a great house dog, companion and protector. He ran the household and kept our girls in order. Dandy was fortunate breeders chose to use him in their breeding programs. A stud dog is only as good as the bitches brought to him. It takes two! Dandy seemed to help improve shoulders, fronts, and strengthen rears. I enjoyed the ‘Visiting Ladies’. One Lady arrived with her own hanging bell for me to place on the doorknob of her guest room, and when she needed to go out, I would hear her bell ringing. The Doberman Pinscher Magazine | 27 1997, Dandy at 2 years winning his first group. It was always very rewarding to be ringside and have Dandy represented in the ring by his get. Few times have been more emotional than the Colorado National in 2003. Dandy was retired from the ring and stayed home, but his get were making their mark. Top Twenty Conformation evening came, and Dandy had three get in Top Twenty that year. When numbers were picked, all three Top Twenty dogs would be judged in the same group. What a thrill to sit ringside and watch three beautiful Dobermans represent their sire, all in the ring in front of me, just so I could well up with tears. They were; BIS CH. GnR Take No Prisoners; Ch. GnR Crystal Method, CD, ROM; and BIS Ch. Gallant’s The Witching Hour v Ciden. But the National was not over… We must save the best for last, which was that year’s Top Twenty Obedience event. Dandy’s daughter, Ch. Cha-Rish Dance with the Wind UDX2, Brea, with co-owner and trainer Jean Kos 28 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine qualified for Top Twenty. Brea was a silly red girl who could be a clown and loved to give Jean a hard time. The exercise was the drop on recall. Brea began the recall, Jean gave the down command, and Brea’s front end dropped beautifully, but her rear end stayed up! She looked all around at the gallery with a twinkle in her eye. The spectators could not keep themselves from giggling, and Brea seemed to say, “Are you watching me?” Brea knew how silly she was! She looked at Jean as if to say, “Gotcha!” Another Top Twenty Obedience finalist in 2007 was the completely owner-handled Dandy son, Ozzy, Group winning, CH GnR After Midnight, CDX, ROM. Ozzy’s accomplishments in the ring are only a small piece of his amazing gifts. Shortly after Kris Harner acquired Ozzy, Kris began having debilitating seizures. Soon Kris’ husband noticed Ozzy had the ability to alert to Kris’ oncoming seizures. At a mere year of age, Ozzy was officially trained to be a seizure alert dog, which gave back the freedom for Kris to live life. Ozzy has not only been Kris’ ongoing seizure alert dog, he has also alerted others to medical problems from cancer to emergency gall bladder surgery. He truly is a special boy, and I have always looked forward to the nationals to have my yearly visit with Ozzy. As a producer, Dandy had the ability to help create ‘balanced’ dogs — dogs with titles on both ends. Several of Dandy’s get have dual ring titles, and as a mark of this ability to create ‘balance’, Dandy is a proud sire of these ROM dogs: Ch. Irongate’s Time After Time, CDX, TD, CGC; Ch. Gallant’s Happy Hour v Ciden, CD; Ch. Irongate’s Time In A Bottle, CD; Ch. GnR After Midnight, CDX and Ch. GnR Crystal Method, CD. Dandy’s Golden Years As I enjoyed watching Dandy’s legacy in various rings across the country, Dandy enjoyed his days regulating the girls, a position he never relinquished, and patrolling the yard for squirrels. After Dandy had April, 2013 reached his tenth birthday, I really wanted to do photos of him. Melissa Bates offered herself for the photo shoot, and I am so thankful for her generosity. It was a wonderful sunny day, and I will always remember the joy I felt watching him posing for the camera like the show dog he was. Little did I know Dandy would be gone in two short weeks from sudden death. Dandy had annual cardiac physicals of holters and ultrasounds. A couple days after his photo shoot, he was diagnosed with DCM. He was a very healthy dog, and only in that last week did he show any signs of ill health. I am proud of what Dandy produced, but I would be remiss to ignore the quality of the bitches that were brought to him. He could not have been as successful as a producer if the bitches themselves were not of outstanding quality. Because of Dandy’s show and stud career we have developed a wonderful family of friends; this was Dandy’s gift to us. Dandy had a logo that said “Who Can? ‘Dandy’ man can!” Later Bellinda Rossmiller surprised us with a little change to the logo, “Who Can? ‘Dandy’s’ kids can!” I knew that the Maco and Tasia litter would change our lives, but I had no idea how substantially our lives would change. From get, to grandget, Grand Prize Futurity winners, Top Twenty Obedience, Top Twenty Conformation, and most importantly friends and family; we owe all of these memories to Dandy. Thank you D Man, for all you have given us. from Darlene Young It seems like a lifetime ago when the litter was born with Dandy, Ch. Darwin’s Dance of the Hour, WAC.

Countyline The Landlord The Doberman Pinscher Magazine | 29 Dandy, at 6 years of age, and Darlene winning an Award of Merit at the 2001 DPCA National under breeder judge Linda Krukar. out was a beautifully compact male with great bone and substance; we fell in love with him immediately. Dandy’s Show Career Dandy arrived on the show scene in Hanford, in the 6-9 class. The first day he said, “I don’t want to do this.” He would not stand still for one moment, wiggling all over the place, and he was jumping on me and being a real nerd. The rest of the day we spent training, and the next day he walked away with WD/BOS over specials for his first points. He went on to finish at Redwood Empire Doberman Pinscher Club’s specialty, from the puppy classes at 11 months of age, under noted judge Gene Haupt. We were going to let Dandy grow up a bit, but since he was already entered in some up-coming shows, we moved him up. The rest, as they say, is history. In summary, Dandy won 1996’s DPCA’s Grand Prize Futu- 30 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine rity, 61 Best of Breeds, seven Specialty Best in Shows, 43 Best Opposite Sex, six group ones and multiple group placements. He was a Top Twenty contender for the years 1998, 1999, and 2000. He won DPCA National Specialty Award of Merits in 1997 under breeder-judge, May Jacobson, 1998 under breeder-judge Mary Rodgers, and 2001 under breeder-judge, Linda Krukar. 2000 was the lone time he was entered in the Stud Dog Class, which he won under breeder-judge Ray Carlisle. Two special occasions come to mind when showing Dandy: first and foremost was winning the futurity. I’ve always believed that winning the futurity is an honor, and the most prestigious award a breeder can win from the DPCA. It was such a thrill to be honored with the award of a lifetime with a dog of a lifetime. The second occasion was the Doberman Pinscher Club of Northern California’s host club specialty for the National in Sacramento. Judge Michelle Billings was going through the dogs and getting down to expressions. She came to Dandy, lifted up his head, and looked into his eyes. He stood up, and stared right back; the crowd’s cheers were deafening. Dandy went on to win BOS to Ch. Toledobe’s Serenghetti. When Ms. Billings gave me the ribbon, she said,“I told you I have always loved this dog.” (She had given him a four point major from the puppy classes en route to his championship.) That day in Sacramento was very special. Dandy taught me a lot as a handler. He was not an easy dog to show because he was always ‘on attention’. He had a mind of his own at times, and I had to learn how to outsmart him. Dandy had a little trick he would pull, we would gait up and back, and when we came in to free stack, he would start jumping. All I could see was his little face looking at me as he jumped up and down, and up and down. This little habit was especially difficult to break, and although we were able to control his jumping, we never quite got it completely eliminated. I remember at one National I gaited him up and back, and sure enough, he jumped up. I was asked to move him again, and I told the judge he would probably jump again. She said, “Please don’t let him.” He didn’t and he earned an AOM that year. Another trick Dandy liked to pull was one he saved for the Best in Show ring. In the Working Group, I always put Dandy behind shortcoated breeds. This was not always possible for the Best in Show ring. Very sneakily, when I was congratulating the winners, Dandy would take the opportunity for a mouth of tempting, long, flowing hair. I had to be very mindful of him and often opted to send out congratulations from afar. Dandy was a great companion and protector. I remember one time he and I were traveling alone and April, 2013 stayed in a motel. I was walking him when the security guard approached us. Dandy moved out in front, positioning himself between the man and me, and gave him ‘the look’. I took a cue from Dandy, and I told the guard to move on. For some reason, Dandy did not like the guard; this was very unusual because he had always welcomed meeting new people. Later that night while settling in to bed, all of a sudden, someone tried to come in our door. Dandy hit the door hard, barking and growling. I rushed to the door and looked out the window in time to see the same guard rushing away from our room. I knew then that I would always be safe in Dandy’s company. when he was awarded Select Dog. I was standing with his owner the late, Howard Kidwell and we hugged and congratulated each other as we watched Austin float around the ring. Two months later, Howard was gone; it was a thrill of a lifetime for him, and I felt honored to have been there to watch it with him. I will always treasure the time in my life I was able to share with this wonderful dog and his get and grand get…Thank you Dman…. ‘MY’ Dog Dandy Erin P. Cody Everyone has ‘their’ dog — the dog that captures their hearts, their imagination, and sets their mental archetype for their breed. ‘My’ dog walked into the ring at the 1998 National Specialty Top 20 event. I was there, a Doberman-less newbie trying to research the breed, and set to watch the best our country had to offer. In trotted this red dog from Livermore, California. I shouldn’t say trot; he floated. An experienced rider, I felt as though I was watching a Grand Prix dressage horse in a fantastic ground-covering trot: effortless, powerful and flowing. And then this dog stopped. He turned to his handler, a teeny-tiny thing of a woman, and stared; I got goose bumps. His ring presence and intensity was palpable from across the ring: the look of eagles. ‘My’ dog, CH. Darwin’s Dance of the Hour WAC, introduced himself to me at that moment. I had the honor of working for Darlene the last year Dandy campaigned as a special. Dandy knew he was spectacular, but his confidence was not the fickle shell of cockiness so many young dogs seem to have; his confidence was deep rooted within him. I think it was this confidence that gave him such ring presence. Dandy was the phrase ‘own the ground he stood on’ come to life. When prompted for an example of ‘the look of eagles’ at a wrap-up session following a specialty, judge Jeraldeen Crandall said that “Eagles were far-sighted, and Dandy’s Get Dandy sired a total of 101 puppies from 19 litters. Of those puppies, 34 had titles, and of those, 31 were champions. He was very consistent in what he produced, many times adding improvements to shoulders and bone. He sired several litters with multiple champions in them, and one all champion litter. Dandy’s offspring always made me proud. One memorable moment was at the 2010 Kansas national. In the ring was a lovely dog, Ch. GnR’s Crystal Method, CD, ROM, ‘Austin’. I was in awe watching this veteran, a Dandy son, who went out there and owned the ground he stood on. His handler never had to lay a finger on him; he free stacked and showed himself. He brought tears to my eyes April, 2013 Dandy, at 10 years of age, with his new flame, Erin.

I couldn’t have agreed more: Dandy didn’t look at you, he looked through you. Dandy’s movement was something I have seen few dogs equal. (Though his niece, CH. Darwin’s Love is a Song WAC came darn close.) I never tired of watching Dandy move. One weekend an equestrian friend had come to watch the Dobermans show, and as Dandy moved around the ring, my friend turned to me and said, “Close your mouth, you’re drooling.” I simply responded, “Can you blame me?” She retorted, “Not with that movement.” Along with seeing Dandy compete, I was also able to spend some time with him as a house dog. Always a gentleman, I was shocked the first time I was sitting on the couch at Marilyn’s house, when Dandy came running down the hall and proceeded to smash me into the cushions trying to snuggle. Who knew such a toughie had such a soft spot? My fondest personal memory of Dandy came from an ill-fated photo session at Marilyn’s house. Marilyn asked me to stack Dandy so she 32 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine Ch Shinya’s the Jewel Thief Ch Array Point Blank Ch Elexa’s Whirlaway of Array Ch Platinum’s Back in Black CDX, ROM LC-11D Ch Electra’s the Wind Walker GHC Ch Royal Tudor’s Wild As the Wind UDTX ROM CGC LC-12D Array Exclusive CD LC-11D Dan: Ch Darwin’s Fantasia CGC, GHC Ch Zeitlin’s Rogue Force v Kerri Ch Erin’s Irish Rogue WAC Ch Donmar’s She Hawk Selket Ch Darwin’s First Love Song CD ROM LC-12D Ch Teraden’s Double Dealer LC-12D Ch Desert Aire’s Kendra Rose LC-12D Donmar’s O So Snazzy Abagail could take some pictures. I remember being incredibly excited to stack this amazing animal, even if it was only for pictures in the back yard. I didn’t care! I was stacking Dandy! As I started to set him up, I remember thinking, “This is a lot of dog”. And as I worked him, I thought again, “Wow, this is a lot of dog” and then again, “JEEZ! How did Darlene handle all this dog?!?” (My respect for her skill grew immeasurably!) It wasn’t his size that made me feel there was so much of him, but his body, and the strength that oozed from him was undeniable. Once Marilyn was situated in the proper position for pictures, and I had Dandy all stacked up, Marilyn, with supreme confidence said, “Just tell him to stay, and then throw the bait.” No problem, I thought. With an equal amount of confidence, collar in left hand, bait in the right, I commanded Dandy to “STAY” and then tossed the bait. In about two nano-seconds, I was airborne, completely jerked off my feet, flying and trailing behind Dandy who took no heed to his perceived suggestion of a stay; he wanted that bait. As I landed in a heap on the ground, Dandy looked at me as if to say, “What’s your problem?” I think both Marilyn and I were crying with laughter. “He’s a little rusty” was all Marilyn could get out between tears and fits of giggles. We didn’t get a great shot that day, but the memory of the power of this dog has never left me. He was and still is to this day the most powerful dog I’ve ever laid hands on. It was no wonder he exuded strength in every movement. I consider myself privileged to have known the dog outside of his magazine advertisements, and ring appearances, and even had the opportunity to put my hands on him. I knew him as a snuggle bug, a true gentleman, a Doberman with true Doberman temperament: a dog who was fearless. Often I will hear wellmeaning breeders or handlers tell Darlene or Marilyn they have a dog who “looks just like Dandy”, or this puppy “is a Dandy”. I know these statements are meant to elevate a dog’s conformation, to give merit to its quality, and to peak the interest of those who knew and respected Dandy as ‘a great’. I always think back to ‘my’ dog — the dog that captured my imagination and heart at that Sacramento Top 20, and I silently disagree with this well-meaning person. No, you do not have a Dandy. There was and only ever will be one Dandy. g April, 2013 ‘RENA’SSANCE DOBERMANS It all began with a Dandy daughter, Ch. Cha-Rish The Macarena, OA, OAJ ...

With this issue we will present to you some of our top stud dogs throughout the USA, including the 6th annual stud dog register for 2012/2013. This is an issue you can keep from year to year taking it out to study and help with your decision on what male you would consider for your breeding program. The register is small price to pay for a 1/3 page which include a nice picture, health and contact information plus a 3 generation pedigree. Jim Briley, Dobes of Aquarius, is the featured breeder along with the influential stud dog, Dandy, CH Darwin’s Dance of the Hour. Both have influenced many people to get a Doberman, start their own breeding program or have the Champion(s) they always hoped for. I hope you enjoy their stories as much as I did working on them. Since I have moved to Arizona, I am learning about all breed dog shows and Doberman specialties in Arizona. The end of January I traveled to the Arizona State Fairgrounds, Phoenix, for an all-breed show. From Marana that was about 95 miles one way, very easy to find and the fairgrounds are just like so many fairgrounds throughout the Midwest. The end of February in Scottsdale the Desert Valley DPC held their two specialties with obedience, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This is about a 2 hour drive for me and the Phoenix traffic reminded me of California, very congested. The club members are very well organized and know how to put on good shows!

Delegate v.d. Elbe in the Stud Dog Issue. The following appeared in October 1976 issue of Top Dobe Magazine and is reprinted with permission. 46 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine April, 2013 “I would feel remiss if I didn’t mention many of the Doberman folks who contributed in one way or another to our interest and enthusiasm in promoting our pursuit of breeding, showing, improving, and loving our Dobes. It will be impossible to list everyone, since there were so many, so, off the top of my head, here are some: Eleanor Carpenter, one of the most knowledgeable; Ruth von Hoegen, who with her husband, Maximilian, translated Phillip Gruenig’s book, and gave us much encouragement to show our Runic, first of ours to become a champion; Elliott Blackiston, whom we first met at shows where we were in competition, and who always urged us on; the Knoops, who were close personal friends, and offered help when needed; Bea Rickert, who had the courage to breed her lovely blue bitch (the first) to Delly and became a top breeder in her own right - one of her most notable was Ch. Singendwald’s Prince Kuhio, a beautiful grandson of Delly’s; Marge Kilburn, a friend, who had a fund of wisdom; Peggy Adamson, a friend, whose great Dictator was an inspiration; Henry Frampton, whose enormous enthusiasm was contagious — he was a true dog lover; the many people it was just fun to know; the Denckers, who had fine dogs; likewise, the Knauers; the Brint Edwards, who, in spite of their many great Rancho Dobe dogs (most important, Ch. Roncho Dobe’s Storm) were just plain nice folks; Charlotte Glicken, who bred fine Dobes, but, to me, most heartwarming was the fact that she painted portraits of both Runic and Delly after their deaths, and gave them as gifts (they still hang on my wall, Charlotte); those who had no interest in showing, but bred to Delly for temperament; and, to the others who are too many to enumerate, but crossed our paths, I have feelings of much warmth toward them all. Many of the above are gone, but will always be remembered. “Most grateful thanks to Art Soucy, president of the Manasota Doberman Club, who made this legible, by doing the typing which, otherwise, would have been totally unreadable if it appeared in my original hand-written form. “And, finally, but not of small significance, I want to thonk all those who made this article possible. I did the writing, but without their help and encouragement, it would not have been done. It seemed to monumental, at first. But their encouragement and cooperation rekindled my dormant, but lasting, love of Dobermans. I am no ‘writer,’ so I let my heart do the writing. In spite of the amount of work, digging, and recall, much love went into this piece. I’m grateful to have been asked to do it. Thank you, Ray; thank you, Bonnie; thank you, Leslie; thank you all.” CH. Delegate Von Der Elbe 1947 ~ 1955 Top Producing Sire in the History of the Breed (in 1976) by Ruth Castellano D Delly has been gone over 21 years. When I was asked to do this article, I thought it would be most difficult to throw my memory so far back. Not so. As I think of him, the years drop away, and it could be yesterday that I was looking at the sleek, elegant, well-muscled, handsome, and beloved dog that graced our home for many years. His story is not to be a tale of statistics. I’d like it known he was not merely a show dog and great producer. He was a personality, and a most delightful and endearing one. Nick and I first saw him as a young puppy in a kennel. The kennel, Kitchawan Kennels, was owned by our very good friends, Winnie and Rene Fels. The manager of the kennel was Hans Schmidt, who had a vast knowledge of breeding, and had his own breeding program going at the same time. April, 2013 We had bought our third Doberman from him many years before; Ch. Runic v.d. Elbe, who became our first champion. While visiting the Fels’, Hans took us out to see his new litter. As he opened the door to let the pups into the run, one raced out, pushing the others aside, and clambered at the fence, tail wagging, tongue eagerly reaching out for human fingers to lick. Hans said, “Here comes the Delegate,” and indeed, he was just that. Hans named him so fittingly. At this point, I do want to praise Hans for his intelligent and successful breeding programs. Delly’s dam was Ch. Belydia v.d. Elbe, a Best In Show winner, and a fine producing dam. Belydia’s dam was Ch. Doricka v.d. Elbe, a truly great bitch. Hans owned them both, and with his thoughtful breeding program. the Von der Elbe name became one of The Doberman Pinscher Magazine | 47 note. The sires were. respectively, Ch. Kama of Westphalia owned by the Nintzels of Westerholz Kennels. and Kama was a great producer. The sire of Kama was Ch. Westphalia’s Uranus, a top producer in his time (also the sire of our Runic). As is evident, this was all intensive with one ‘touch’ of outcross: Belydia’s sire, Ch. Domossi of Marienland, a worthy touch. We saw Delly several times at the kennel, and watched as he developed into what seemed to be — and proved to be — an outstanding dog. Hans had no intention of parting with him. We saw him shown as a puppy a couple of times, and finally the day came when Nick was able to buy him. I’m sure Hans knew we would not only show him but also love him we had made that very clear. Soon after we owned him, we received offers to buy him. One, particularly notable, since it was from a breeder of prominence and the owner of a top stud dog. All offers were firmly refused. As Nick said, “We know we’re going to have a lot of fun with him, and enjoy him. No price is big enough!” He had been a kennel dog, and none of ours ever were, so he was brought into our home. He made a quick inspection of the house, ran up the stairs, and leaped on the bed. He certainly learned fast! From then on, you could see him stretched out on a sofa, curled in a chair too small for him, or asleep on a bed. He loved people in general, the family, the children, our friends and myself, but there was never any doubt about the fact that Nick was his favorite person. He adored him — and I know that Nick loved him dearly. As do all dogs, Delly had special endearing, and funny traits. When Ch. Runic v.d. EIbe, our first champion. He, too, had very similar bloodlines to Delly. . . Westphalia’s Uranus was his sire, and Delly’s grandsire. By the way, in his day he was considered to have one of the most beautiful heads around. 48 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine Delly, smiling on request . . . “Delly was a great ‘talker,’ he’d plant himself in front of you and ‘chomp’ away in his version of conversation, and he wouldn’t quit until he was noticed, and answered. His persistence, and the sounds he made, were very funny.” Nick cut his nails, he turned his head as far around as possible, with a patient, tolerant look, but it was as if he couldn’t bear to watch! He learned early in life to smile on request, and to the uninitiated, it was a scary sight to see the curled lips showing all those teeth. He loved to watch T.V. with us, and would back up to the sofa, squeezing himself in, so he could sit with us. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? It occurred to me one day he was the only dog we’d had who hadn’t been taught to shake hands. I taught him in two minutes. He was 8 years old. There are so many anecdotes that flash into my mind. He was very much of a ‘home body’, a ‘fireside’ dog, but one time a yard man left the gate to the large enclosed area open. When I glanced out and discovered it, I saw no sign of Delly and, of course, went out to find him. He had ventured no farther than across the street, and was having a fine time watching a little boy playing in his fenced yard, Delly loved children. He was also extremely April, 2013 obedient and trotted over to me as soon as I called. I should add back then there was not the frightening traffic problem of today. Delly’s favorite playmate was his daughter, Ch. Runicast’s Delona’s Leila. Leila, ‘the redhead’ and Delly, both adult, would romp together for hours, like puppies. Our Delly was not always the sedate, dignified dog he appeared. In general, though he had no formal training, he was always anxious to please, and obeyed requests quickly and eagerly. However, one day I entered a bedroom to find he had discovered what fun a pillow could be — especially a feather one! He looked so funny engulfed in feathers — in his nose, ears, paws, I could only laugh. I didn’t laugh too hard while vacuuming the room, though, for days! Which is how long it takes to get the last feather. No story can be a total ‘Pollyana’ one, just as no life is perfect. There was one episode which I can never forget that was near tragic but, happily, I can tell you that it turned out fine. As Ch. Runicast’s Delono’s Leila, bred by Ruth Castellano and owned by Runicast Kennels - 2nd champion of Delly’s to finish. April, 2013 a preface, I must digress enough to tell you shortly after we acquired Delly, I wanted a bitch with breeding compatible to his. We visited many kennels, and looked at countless puppies. I finally picked a 10-week-old lovely little puppy, Kitchawan’s Tamara. Her sire was Kilburn’s Conqueror, owned by Marge Kilburn. Marge (Margaret) owned and bred some very outstanding Dobes, and in judging, always enjoyed a fine reputation. The subsequent breeding of Tammy and Delly was excellent. We kept one male puppy, who became Ch. Deltamo v. Tamara. ‘Moe’ as he was known, finished easily, became a Best In Show dog, and himself sired many champions. As for Tammy (the bitch, I say with pride, l picked at 10 weeks), her first big win was fantastic. At exactly one year old, her birthday, she won the open class, went Winner’s Bitch, Best of Winners and Best of Opposite Sex, at the Westminster Show in Madison Square Garden. Pete Knoop handled her. That was one of our real thrills in showing dogs. Delly and his puppy son, ‘Moe’ (Ch. Deltamo v Tamara), who became the first of Delly’s champion offspring. Now, back to the near tragedy. We had shown Delly and Tammy at the Huntingdon Valley K.C., and there was a show the next day. Ginny and Bill Knauer had made a custom of having a party at their home the evening between shows. Nick and I left the show before the others, and since we had been there many times before, knew the way and also were spending the night there. Their home was set far back from the road, and we let the dogs out to exercise. They raced around happily for a few moments, then spotted a wall. We had one on our own property, and it looked the same to them — about 3 feet high. Our wall led to ground the same height on both sides. They had jumped it many times. So they both leaped over this one. We heard an ear piercing shriek, and then silence. Nick ran to it and said, “My God, it’s about a 30-foot drop.” We called to them — only silence. Nick found the stairs leading to the bottom level, and found Tammy, very shaken and frightened, but not injured. But no sign of Delly. I got into the car, turned on the headlights (it was dark by then) and started down the driveway calling to Delly. I had gone only a short way, when my lights picked up an object crawling on it’s belly; I jumped out and ran to him. He was terrified, and so happy to see me. We pieced it together and realized Delly had reached bottom first, with Tammy landing on him. We rushed him to a vet, who found no The Doberman Pinscher Magazine | 49 broken bones or severe injury. However, the poor fellow was very sore, and we stayed up all night with him, using a heating pad on him. He was fine the next day, and was shown, and won Best of Breed. When we got home, we had our vet recheck him, and for several days continued wet packs and heat treatments. It was, to us, a miracle. I’m sure the good Lord was watching over him that day. I might add that 1 was almost a ‘basket case’, and Nick wasn’t far behind! Now, more pleasant and funny things to recount. Leila was a digger par excellence, and one day I glanced out the window and saw her furiously digging. Her dignified dad joined in. The next time I looked, no dog was in sight. Between them, they had dug so deep a hole they had disappeared in it! Sounds incredible, but it’s true. Needless to say, two Dobes were well bathed that day; the hole filled, and a watchful eye kept on them henceforth. Delly always had a marvelous appetite. Nick used to say eating was his favorite pastime . . . and that he wondered if you brought a bitch ready to be bred to him, and carried a dish of food in your other hand, which would he choose! Well behaved as he was, there was the day a carved roast beef was set on a counter, and when it was to be brought to the table, it was in Delly’s stomach! His appetite, if not watched and curbed, was too much! You couldn’t open the refrigerator. No matter what part of the house he was in, he flew to you, before you got the first bite of anything. A first bite into an apple had him at your side; he even loved grapefruit and ate all the grapes from our grape arbor if we didn’t beat him to it. The arbor was fairly high, but he’d leap up to reach them. He loved the snow, and after a heavy fall during the night, he’d dash out in the A.M. and plough a path through it. He never wanted to come in . . . I’d get him dried only to have him go back out again, and come in 50 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine Ch. Kitchawan’s Tamara at 1 year old. She was owned by Ruth Castellano, ond bred to Delly produced our Ch. Deltamo v. Tamara - Tammy.” looking like a smooth coated Samoyed! Have I mentioned what a lovely temperament Delly had? It is of particular importance, since it was largely passed on to his get. Of course, they had dams, too, but while many had good dispositions, there were several who were not as stable as Delly. The impact he had on the breed is the more apparent, since it is difficult to find a pedigree of today’s illustrious dogs which does not revert back to him and his forebears. In the conformation ring, Delegate showed like a million. He was not a flashy dog, but steady, patient, willing, and extremely cooperative. His stamina seemed to me to be incredible. Once set, he stood, ears erect, tail up, not moving a muscle, endlessly. I recall a show where there was a large class of Specials, and the judge took so long that even the spectators became restless. The poor dogs were showing fatigue too, and yet our Delly ‘hung in there’ and won. He never let down. I’m sure it will be of interest to the present day Dobe fanciers to know that Delly was at least 90% owner handled. He never went to a show without either Nick or me, or both. Nor was he ever crated or sent with handlers. Nick liked handling himself, and did an excellent iob, and finished a very large number of other Dobes as well. What part did I play in all this? Nick did have to earn a living! My job was the care and feeding, taking to the vets, handling our dog correspondence, writing the monthly magazine articles, raising litters, going to shows, occasionally handling a dog myself, judging (as did Nick) and raising three children. I loved every minute of it. This is an opportune time for me to speak of some of the fine people who were instrumental, and so helpful, in our many pleasurable years with the Dobes. Ellie Buckley and Hermy (F.F.H.) Fleitmann, owners of Westphalia Kennels in New Jersey, taught us so much. We were privileged to see the great foundation bitch, Ch. Jessy v.d. Sonnenhoehe at their kennels many times, as well as their famous ‘R’ and ‘U’ litters., all of which became champions — and are in Delly’s pedigree, as well as that of many greats of yesteryear, and today. We also had the distinction of breeding our bitch, a Westphalia Rajah daughter, to West- April, 2013 phalia’s Favoriet v. Franzhof — his first breeding. We had a beautiful litter, and Favoriet soon became a top producer. So much credit is due Hans Schmidt, who was so knowledgeable about Dobes, and had a true love of them. To Tess Henseler, thanks are due for recognizing the potential of the subsequent breedings, and showing her faith in it. The breedings of her lovely bitch, Meadowmist Isis v. Ahrtal, to Delly played no small part in Delly’s recognition as a good producer, and also put Tess on top as a breeder. She has continued her fine work, and is recognized as a top breeder of today. But, most of all, credit goes to Delly himself, for his great quality of being so outstanding an ambassador of good temperament for the breed, coupled with his beauty and ability to produce correctly as good as, and better than, himself. Earlier, I said this was not to be a statistical article Ch. Delegate v.d. Elbe was bred by Hans Schmidt and owned by Ruth and Nick Castellano. He was one of three champions in his litter, the others being Dacki and Dyke. Delegate was a large dog for his time, standing 28 1/2 inches and weighing about 90 to 92 pounds in show shape, with such outstanding qualities as: Solid topline, good tail set, excellent layback of shoulders, correct brisket, good rib spring and fore chest, well balanced; overall, a very sound dog. His head had good parallel lines, proper length of muzzle, long dry neck, full mouth and excellent dark eyes. He had excellent feet and, of course, a fabulous temperament. Even the greats had their faults, so for the benefit of the readers I would like to set out what I considered were his faults. Delegate’s eyeset and falling off under the eye detracted from his expression, but only slightly. He perhaps could have had a little more stop, and he was a little long in hock. Delly was not shown too extensively as he was a family dog and we did not wish to have him traveling without us. Still, he compiled an impressive record of over 70 Best of Breeds, 21 Group Firsts and 2 Best In Shows (all breeds), one being a Best American Bred in Show at thirteen months of age. One day Delegate’s record of siring champions will be broken; however, it will most likely be along time before his percentage of champions compared to total numbers of offspring is bettered. For the 55 champions came from only 60 litters, really a small number of litters for a top producer to have sired. We must also consider the fact that he died at the relatively young age of eight. Delly was the top producing sire for five consecutive years, 1954 through 1958. On the preceding pages is a list of Delegate’s champion offspring. It has not been possible to get such information as owners, breeders, birth dates, etc. on every dog, but these are included where known. Delegate produced 60 titters totaling 360 pups (average of 6 per litter); 185 dogs, 175 bitches. Colors: 255 blacks, 66 reds, 34 blues, 5 fawns. Bitches bred: l7 champions, 43 nonchampions. Colors: 52 blacks, 6 reds, 2 blues. 22 years after his death he still holds the record of having sired more American Champions than any Doberman to date. We do not have the records of his get in other countries. Teaneck, New Jersey, March 22, 1953, in standing order, left to right: Ch. Delegate v.d. Elbe, Best of Breed; Ch.

It is a human story, sketchily outlined. It is a tale I’ve attempted to do without undue emotion. But as the memories come to life in my mind, it is impossible not to state that Delly cannot be remembered without emotion. His impact on our lives was enormous. He was a beautiful specimen of a Dobe and so pleasing to look at, but far more important he was a gentle, loving dog, always anxious to please and be loved. And loved he was. As all dogs who achieve do he fed our egos but more important he enriched our lives and nourished our hearts, He always slept with us in our bedroom. About 2 years before Delly died, Nick had thought it a good idea for him to get the most thorough physical examination possible. I. too, thought this an excellent idea. I drove him to Boston to the Angel Memorial Animal Hospital, where he underwent every possible test for two days. It is a remarkable clinic, and he received competent and kind care. I was permitted to visit with him during the day, which made Delly and me very happy. Nick flew up and joined me for the trip home and Delly was ecstatic. So were we for he go an excellent bill of health. The night that Delly left us, he came over to the side of my bed for his ‘goodnight kiss’. This was his regular routine. At 5 a.m. I awakened to a farewell whipper. He died instantly of an embolism....How do you mend an aching heart? Above: Delly always slept in his own bed in our bedroom. Left: Candid shot of Delly, July 1955, 3 months before he died. Left: Ch. Courtier of Irisland, one of Delly’s last sons and my last Dobe. Known to all as ‘Courtie’ he was a unique personality, a perenial puppy and in Florida played a large part in making the Dobe not only desireable and acceptabe, but very much loved. The Sarasota Herald Tribune carried a beautiful article on him when he died. I had him shipped to Long Island to be buried next to his father. He is shown here pictured from 6 months to 4 years of age. 60 | The Doberman Pinscher Magazine April, 2013 litter announcements Whelped February 2, Four beautiful black bitches Sire: either Ch.
