If you hunt wild pheasants, you
already know that crippled birds
are a challenge to recover. Recently, a neighbor was hunting wild
pheasants with his sons and his
four year old experienced bird
dog. When they returned home
they commented they had knocked
three roosters down but only
recovered one bird because it was
dry and the scenting conditions
were poor. Last year I hunted with
the same neighbor and dog and
had the same problem. This time
conditions were extremely wet
just proving it was not a weather
related issue.
Personally, I despise losing birds
and I have no use for a dog that
can not recover cripples. You can
cripple a bird anytime; however, it
seems to be more prevalent as the
season progresses. Late season the
birds are older with thicker feathers and have experience evading
hunters. This makes for longer
shots and more cripples with most
only escaping with a mere broken
wing. From my experience, I
would estimate that 25% of the
cripples hide close to the fall and
the other 75% run away a few feet
to several hundred yards. I recall
one of my Shorthairs, Ginger,
tracking a cripple nearly a mile
before she caught and retrieved it.
In order to develop a dependable
cripple finder you should start
your dog at a young age. A pup
must experience what happens
after the shot when the bird hits
the ground running. For this to
happen, you should allow your
young dog to break on the flush.
The best experience is gained
when you hunt your dog where
pheasants exist, but are not abundant. With too much scent the
dog gets confused and likely will
not be able to concentrate on the
cripple track. Many times they
just switch off and begin tracking
ing a better cripple finder. One
thing I do is release birds that have
been rendered flightless. Release
the bird in a field with sparse cover
but not so thin that the dog can
see the bird. If the cover is too
thick the bird will just
hide and not leave a
track. Next bring
your dog up to the
release site on lead
and encourage them
to track. Hopefully
the dog will track and
produce the bird. If
your dog points the
cripple restrain your
dog and flush it out.
Let it run away out of
sight, wait a few minutes until your dog is
settled down then
commence tracking
the bird again. If you
have a cooperative
bird you can repeat
this part several
times. Eventually the
dog will catch the
bird.
Belle vom Speidel
Fortunately, our German dogs are bred to be versatile
and some of them may be natural
cripple dogs. However, if you practice some of these ideas you can
assist your dog in being a better
cripple finder.
another bird. In this situation
bring your dog back to the location of the fall and command dead
bird and try again. Don’t be concerned about trying to keep your
dog steady at this point as you
can always steady them up later.
But if you miss this window of
opportunity with your young dog
you may have missed it forever.
In addition, there are some artificial situations you can set up to
help enhance your dog in becom-
Good luck hunting and remember

Solms test 1 Oct 2011
Casco Michigan, USA
On the morning of 30 September MacWilliams family set out for Detroit, Michigan
from sunny downtown Petawawa, Ontario.
We had a very pleasant drive and arrived
at approximately 1500 hours at the Canada-USA border… and then the wait begins. It was an extremely busy Friday afternoon and we finally crossed the bridge and
got to customs at 1800 hours.Yes a very
exciting wait of just under, 3 hours at the
Kevin L-R Zyka, Vito and Issy vom Osterberg
border. Man we need to look into this
problem. I have traveled to many different countries and our border crossing is one of the worst.
0430 hours seemed to come very early on Saturday morning but as promised there was Little Gabe at 0530 hours and we
caravanned to the breakfast site. Louis’s is an excellent little restaurant in a small town next to the testing site. We had a
great breakfast and enjoyed some excellent fellowship with handlers and judges. We truly enjoy talking dogs and the first
time handlers get to share some of their upcoming concerns.
0800 hours and we are testing. Kirk Jones, another fellow Canadian and I volunteered to plant birds. This gave us a bird’s
eye view of the field work, no pun intended, and we could see the excellent field work that took place first hand.
The test proceeded well and the handlers were kept on task by an excellent judging team. It was a very cold and Windy
day. The apprentice Judges from Texas looked like they were wearing every piece of clothing they had brought with them
from Texas. They never stopped smiling the entire test day. The strong wind caused a few problems but it did make for
some very interesting dog work.
We had an excellent lunch delivered to the field and after a short break we were back on the road heading to the drag
fields. The drags were performed by each dog almost flawlessly and it seemed as the day went on the dogs got stronger.
The handlers also looked more relaxed.
With the drags finished the judges did the scoring and the worker bees set up for the breed show. We had a nice number
of DK’s for the Zuchtschau and the weather was cooperating.
Our Senior Judge for the day David Peasley after a
long day in the field was now judging the breed show.
I know the gallery and handlers appreciate your hard
work and dedication Dave. Please see the breed
show results in this newsletter.

My year of training and hunting has been a bit of
a divergence for me. An injured foot has restricted what I have been able to accomplish, but
we were able to do what was allowable. Field
work was out of the question so I sat on a folding chair and was able to get my young dog extremely interested in ducks and duck searches.
My training group assisted as needed and I contributed to their needs as I could. I would like to
think that all of us benefited from one another
during the training year. This year reaffirmed to
me how important it is to belong to a training
group. So, you might put this on your belated
New Year’s resolution list; join and participate
with a training group. It will help you achieve the
successes you are looking for.
Steve and his girls.
I attended and participated as a helper, to a limited degree, in a number of DK and DD tests this spring and fall
and ran my young dog in Derby and also a Zuchtschau. It was wonderful to see friends and meet new handlers
at these events. Watching the dogs work is always special. I also contacted my State Representatives concerning a couple of bills that were detrimental to hunting, fishing, and our dogs. Please, get involved in protecting
your outdoor heritage. If we don’t stand up for our outdoor rights, no one else will.
The foot is a bit better which has allowed a few shorter hunting trips this fall, but the bird populations in Iowa
is at an all time low due to several years of harsh winters and cold, wet springs. However, being in the field
with friends and wonderful dogs charges my battery. Although hunting season is a ways off, I am counting the
days until we are enjoying the hunt once again.
And, please remember to always put your best foot forward.
Best Wishes,
Steve

Mike With Aika and Holly.
Hello membership; I hope you enjoyed a memorable hunting
season. The bulk of my hunting takes place after Xmas in
my neck of the woods, but I was able to take a hunting trip
to South Dakota for pheasants in October. I have never
hunted pheasants before, but have always wanted to and I
felt this would be a great experience for me and my young
dog. Both cases turned out to be true. The hunting was
good and thanks to good planning, especially meals, the trip
was enjoyable; it was great to be around good people and
good dogs. The most important idea for me that I left for
the trip with is that in order to be a better breeder and
tester hunting has to come first.
I still have most of all sizes and colors in shirts, along with
three different colors in hats. Remember, VCDKK merchandise looks great and is a good way to promote our club and
breed. They also can make great gifts as well.

Hella vom Salzberg
December 18, 1997, to January 26, 2012
V Rated Hella vom Salzberg
I remember the first time I was introduced to Hella like it was yesterday. Fourteen years ago, a fellow with a German speaking accent
set a crate on the floor at the Chicago Lufthansa Airline cargo area.
Sitting on the floor, I opened the crate door and a brown nose appeared in a hesitant manner and briefly surveyed the situation. In a
flash, Hella was out of the crate and physically leapt into my lap and
metaphorically leapt into my heart. In an instant, a strong bond was
developed between man and dog.
Like all of my dogs, a bargain was developed between us. I was to be the leader and decision maker; Hella was to be receptive to training; she was to be friendly, cooperative, and obedient, she would be expected to be a hunter and be a
wonderful companion. In exchange, she was to receive high quality medical care, nutrition, shelter, and a high level of
understanding and compassion. There was not a word put to paper, just conditions both of us would be expected to
uphold.
Over the years Hella went everywhere with me. That included hunting trips throughout America, fishing trips, trips to
town, and she was an everyday fixture at my office. As a pup, lying in my lap was a frequent choice; this ended when she
simply became too big to do that comfortably so she replaced that behavior with a head in the lap. Hella was an awesome
hunter possessing all the skills to complete this job in an excellent manner. I can still recall a multitude of exceptional successes in the field and water; she never lost a bird. Hella was just as comfortable in the home and as a companion dog as
she was at the hunt. At the office, she was fond of the magic drawer as this was where the treats were kept and treats
were very important to this girl. After the sun had retired for the day, we would relax on the dog couch in the family
room keeping track of our favorite baseball and football team. She seemed to be engaged in this activity with her look of
assurance to me when we called for the play that was needed at the moment. I almost think this was important to her.
Being a Deutsch Kurzhaar meant Hella would be trained and tested in the German system. She earned a Prize 1 in all of
her tests (Spring and Fall Breed Tests and the VGP or Master’s Test) and was rated excellent (V) in conformation; this
noble girl was as beautiful as she was functional. She produced one litter of DKs which earned a Breeder’s Award. Yes,
she passed on her outstanding attributes to her pups, including the female (Anni) we kept.
It was through Hella that I met some outstanding people; actually, many outstanding people. But, I cannot thank my friend,
Tom Skinner, enough for laying the ground work for Hella to come to America and her German breeder, Ferdinand
Schlattmann, for sending me one of his outstanding puppies. The match could not have been any more perfect than it was.
Hella was sinew tough! No hunting condition was too difficult for her and she survived one serious hunting injury and
health issue. But, old age was to be her downfall as it is for many of our canine companions. When her body couldn’t go
anymore, I had to make the decision. As the serum did its job, Hella enjoyed one last treat as I held her head and stroked
her with compassion. As her light went out, I had fulfilled my last responsibility of the bargain.
There is a significant empty feeling at home since the loss of
my outstanding canine companion, Hella. But, the cupboard is
far from empty. Her daughter, Anni, granddaughter, Belle,
and great-granddaughter, Caydee, carry on the tradition of
exceptional home/hunting companion dogs at our home. Our
‘C’ litter selection, Caydee, was to be the dog that would fill
the vacancy left by Hella. As a puppy, Caydee’s favorite
sleeping place was in my lap. And now that she is too big,
she rests her head in my lap as we relax on the dog couch
after the sun has retired for the day. I truly believe she favors either a football or baseball play that involves running.

M the
N others,

2011 International Kurzhaar Prufung (IKP)
In October 2011 the IKP was held in Surwold, Germany. This DK “show case” test of field and water is held
every other year in Europe; this test alternates with the Kleemann. The first portion of the event features a
Zuchtschau. Test results follow this short report.
If you can’t find time to travel to Europe to participate in this test, you and your DK can participate in the
NAKP (North American Kurzhaar Prufung) that is held in North America on even numbered years. The test
will be held in Michigan this September. This, like the IKP, is an invitational test and in order to qualify, your
dog must have a Prize 1 in both a spring and fall breed test and have an adult conformation of SG or V. The
NAKP is the identical test to the IKP. As a former organizer and participant of the NAKP, I would encourage
any DK team to participate in this prestigious event. It is never a bad day when one gets to rub shoulders
with other dedicated DK enthusiasts.

D Litter vom Speidel Announcement
Belle is an exceptional talent. She has all the hunting tools, is ‘V’ rated, and she is
a lap sitter. She is a calm, highly cooperative and obedient dog; she was extremely
easy to train. Belle loves to train, lives to hunt, and enjoys living with her people;
she is the epitome of the home-hunting companion dog we are dedicated to produce. This will be Belle’s second litter. Her first litter of 8 pups produced 7 Prize
1 and one Prize 3 scores at spring breed tests; 2 pups earned a 4h in search, one
a 4h in point, and one a 4h in nose. Five of 8 pups were entered in a youth Zuchtschau and 3 took first places. We are evaluating sires at this time that will complement Belle’s pedigree, compliment Belle, and meet our strict standards.
Bell’s testing information is as follows: D1, AZP 1 with Andreas Star, 4h search,
Floyd Eberts Award; NAKP 1 (136 points); VGP 1 (312 points), 4h search without the duck, 4h nose, President’s Award, Ehren President’s Award-gold medallion, V3 twice, HN, HD-A1 .
Belle has a striking, deep brown coat color.
