Jago is our new breeding male from Germany. We look very carefully when selecting sires and dams for our breeding program. The genetic ancestry is important and must involve more than one or two generations of dogs. There must be a history of dogs with solid physical conformation and excellent coats as this can genetically influence the health and well-being of the litters whelped. A quality breeding male must also possess emotional stability and good character with an excellent temperament that allows him to be companion, trusted friend and family member. He must also demonstrate his ability to perform his many duties as a versatile hunting dog with dignity, trustworthiness, and the drive and work ethic to overcome difficult hunting situations. In other words he should be the complete package and pass those traits on to his litters. Jago is rated 11 conformation and 12 in coat which makes him close to perfect and his personality, intelligence, demeanor and documented performance makes him the type of breeding male we require as a sire for our top rated females.

 

I am glad Jago cannot read English or he may think he is a handsome, sexy fellow that all girls just “WOO” about when they see him. It is better that he know his place as a top rated “Gun Dog” and continue to work in the fields and water which is his destiny. “Sorry Jago but it is what it is.”
Erick v. Erthal
VJP 75
HZP 223
VGP I/320

Erick is a SPLINDED LOOKING FELLOW coming to us from the breed warden in Nordbayern, Germany. He is an obvious tribute to his superb genetic background. His line has a history of producing some of the best looking dogs in the Drahthaar breed and Erick certainly follows that model. Erick is a very happy and exuberant fellow sporting an excellent coat and strong conformation coupled with outstanding performance in all phases of  versatile hunting dog work. These attributes are necessities in our breeding males and are very excited about Erick now residing at Vom Kervinshof.

However, my new friend Erick can be one of the most annoying and irritating dogs in existence. He is the classic neighbor or friend everyone hates because they are always in EVERY ONE BUSINESS!! He is forever in matters that do not concern him and absolutely none of his business!!! When in my office he noses through my briefcase and file cabinets; he butts into personal and  telephone conversations that do not pertain to him; in the bedroom his head is in the dirty clothes hamper or under the bed; in the living room he looks under throw rugs and containers on the counter tops; and especially into Christmas gifts. His daily inspections leave nothing untouched. His curiosity has no limits as he picks up boxes of shotgun shells, duck calls, socks, hats and the newspaper neatly stacking them where he can keep them under surveillance. He NOSES into every new or old thing in our home, vehicles and kennel facility. Erick loves everyone especially children. He inspects them very closely wanting to make sure they are secure and everything is alright as he noses their ears and sniffs their hair. If pushed away he simply lays his big head on their shoulder or lap and dozes off to sleep with what seems to be a little smile on his face.

Wild Boar That Could Not Get Away Cent Vs. Boar, Cent won.
  Cent patiently tracked this huge boar for more than a mile under difficult conditions,crossing the red river twice before finding him in "No Mans Land".
He is just a “Big Baby” by all accounts Cent was probably one of the youngest dogs at the prestigious German Hegewald this year. And performed admirably with “11’s” and “10’s” especially in nose, water, field work and manner of retrieve. Cent follows explicitly the standard we require in every male we use for breeding. He possesses that strong noble head demonstrating character, intelligence and extreme confidence in whom and what he is. He is strong, athletic and has the power and fortitude to do whatever is required. The more difficult the scenario the better he performs. When Cent walks on the scene everyone turns to look in his direction. Recently a remark was made by a group of outdoorsmen at a local event “We do not know what kind of dog he is….. But what a handsome remarkable looking dog”! Cent combines his strong muscular conformation with that superb temperament found in all of our dogs. He loves children, sportsmen and non-sportsmen. However, Cent like all of our dogs has a few quirks. He is absolutely “FACINATED WITH BUGS”! He carefully watches them in the duck blind and kennel or where ever he may find them. On a recent quail hunt he was bounding through the field with powerful strides and spins around into a beautiful stylish point. In a few moments he lies down with his head between his paws and stares intently at a big black bug crawling along the ground. My hunting associates were astonished at this episode and my response was “I told you he is a very versatile hunting dog”. Cent is available for breeding to approved females.
 
Greif II vom Boekenhagen
4th Place Hegewald 2004

VGP I/346
Pedigree
Greif is an extremely handsome breeding male, black roan in color with sound conformation and excellent coat. He brings outstanding performance scores in each test and touts a perfect score in the VGP (two day Master's Test.) He was the 4th place dog in the prestigious German Hegewald Test and is also a dead game guide. Generally dogs with high drive are more difficult to handle requiring an experienced handler. Greif with all his drive and superior performance is very obedient and easy to handle demonstrated by earning the Armbruster Halt Award. This award is given to a dog who is in full pursuit of running game, at the sound of the whistle.... he stops and lies down, until signaled to return. Greif is an all day dog, he is in the goose and duck blinds at daybreak and the pheasant or quail fields in the afternoon. If you have shot your big buck or wild boar and can't find him, send Greif. When he finds it, he will put the bringsel in his mouth and return. Greif will now lead you back to your dead buck. However, he will not field dress and carry it back to the truck for you, he thinks you should be able to do at least something on the hunt.

Greif should have been a high ranking politician because he has never met a stranger. He eagerly and happily greets everyone he is introduced to and will not be ignored. It is probably his ego after demonstrating such high performance he wants everyone to notice how special he is. We expect him to pass these excellent traits on to his puppies. He is available for breeding to approved females.
