CHAPTER ELEVEN DOGS AND PEOPLE BEHIND THE IMPORTS During the days of Von Stephanitz, a number of excellent breeders emerged and stayed. Perhaps it was because of the relative consistency of the goals that developed, at least with the working\herding people. The "Lux" group went the other way in quest of the current fashion. It was the people who believed and practiced, "The German Shepherd is a Working Dog" that took over in Germany. They continued to control the breed through the thirties, forties and beyond, supporting the Koer system and working degrees. Franz Schorling of Von Bern Kennels was breeding dogs in 1924. The dogs that he bred were consistently near the top, pillars of the breed both in Germany and America. They were dogs like Pfeffer and Perchta von Bern, Traute von Bern, Vicki von Bern, Nute and Neander von Bern. Taps and Trotz were not of the same litter. There was also the D litter with Dachs and Dolch, Shown is Vicki von Bern the Utz daughter. Notice front angulation the long bones of the shoulder, and the balance of rear. It also is noted that the pasterns are somewhat let down but the feet are excellent. The G litter von Bern; Gockel pictured and Go lf. Just about every one of his litters had one or two outstanding animals that fit in with the breed progress in Germany.

Nauenhohe Olle v. Bern Harras v.d. Jeuch PH Sg 21 Ada v. Alfeld Henni von Bern The above pedigree gives an idea of the way Schorling was breeding. Notice the quality of dogs he was using; dogs that had shown their value. Then with the skill of an artist he had blended the qualities that each had into his own breedings. At first he made excellent use of the Utz blood. After Dachs he started using his Utz stock by breeding it successfully with the herding \working lines. The Trotz breeding illustrates line breeding on Klodo rather than Utz. This was done after the close Utz breeding that produced Dachs and Pfeffer. Note in the Neander/Nute breeding. It is 4, - 4, 4 on Klodo with only the one line to Utz. Here he used the sister of Trotz, Thora and bred her to the 1933 Sg Odin von Stolzenfels son Odin von Greunen Eck as is shown in
the following pedigree. Curt V. Herzog Hedan SchH Barbel v.d. Halskappe PH 11 Odin v. Stolzenfels Mohr v.d. Secretainerie Odin v. Greunen Eck Zpr Bella v. Jagdschloss Platt Nora v.

Alfeld Schorling is listed as "Director" in 1924; perhaps it was as one of the directors of the S.V. He followed very closely the prescribed breeding formula as laid down by Von Stephanitz. Amala v. Greunen Eck Zpr Nute is a key in being part of the pedigree of one of Germany's premier stud dogs. Neander is less obvious in pedigrees but he was the Select one dog in Germany in 1941. He was angekoert from 1942-48, had SchH 111. Neander was bred by Schorling but not owned by him. Schorling was a positive influence in maintaining the breed through the difficult years of the war. What happened to him during those years is not known. When
it all finished he was gone, but his dogs made their presence known in some of the new pillars. Odin von Stolzenfels Sieger 1933. This dog had a wonderful influence on the development of the breed. Books do not emphasize his value with that of Utz and Klodo but he is almost the next step. Notice the beautiful balance, compactness and with good shoulder and croup. Alex v. Westfalenheim Erich v.

This gave a concentration o f Nores 4, 5-4, Erich von Grafenwerth 3-5, with only one line through Klodo, and Jungtell von der Kriminalpolizei 5,5-6. Although Odin' s prominence is the most obvious, probably an equal contribution to the breed is through his sister Ruth von Stolzenfels and brother Wotan. She is the mother of Trutz von Schwenenstadt whose prominence will be brought up along the way. A feature of Stolzenfels was his idea of returning time and again to a winning combination. It was an idea used many times by Germans but seldom in America. Johannes Breitbach, a police chief started the Stolzenfels kennels. Odin von Stolzenfels was the main dog produced from this kennel but the same breeding produced others of prominence. There was the R litter, the T litter and the W litter which were all repeat breedings and all showing in pedigrees of the future breed builders. Breitbach took the daughter of Mohr Secretainerie bred by Joseph Schwabacher, inbred on Harras von der Juech, and bred her to Curt von Herzog Hedan Joe Schwabacher of Secretainerie Kennels was another top producer of contributing dogs. His first dogs started showing up around 1915. He continued to produce his type of German Shepherd until the early forties. By the look of pedigrees he worked hand in hand with such breeders as Stolzenfels. He got out of Germany around the first part of the war and then continued his kennel from England where his presence greatly benefited breeding there. Ferdl von Secretainerie was winning all over Europe from 1935 on. He would have been Sieger in 1939 but the title w as abandoned at the time. Ferdl is by the great Odin von Stolzenfels; they combined well together.

The pedigree of Mohr is typical of Secretainerie breeding. He used all the top dogs with an emphasis on working characteristics. Eckhart von Secretainerie is even more characteristic. He was inbred on Junker 3-3, inbred 2-2 on Elfe and 3-3,4 on
Chrimhilde who goes back with all four grandparents to working or herding including Beowulf and Von Stephanitz's Audifax. Hettel v. Uckermark Sg 09 Alex v. Westfalenheim Bella v.d. Liene Erich v.

His was one of the kennels that recognized the value of Junker von Nassau and Harras von der Juech, even though these dogs were Nores sons and heavily inbred on Jungtell von der Kriminalpolizei. This particular use of Jungtell was again beneficial to the breed. Jungtell can be found in the pedigrees, doubled up, in the background of dogs that brought the breed back from over length.

The breedings done by Schwabacher were artistic. He recognized that what was coming from Nores and Horst was not bad. In the Eckhart pedigree he threw both Harras and Junker in very close as he doubled on Junker and brought Harras into the fourth generation. He offered a unique mix of older lines. Eckhart had no lines to either Klodo or Utz but behind him was the 1911 '12 Sieger Norbert von Kohlwald, going back to Beowulf; Sieger 1913 Arno von Eichenberg, Sieger, '21 Harras von der Juech and the working lines. Odin von Stolzenfels went back to Secretainerie breeding. It was a natural for him to breed a Mohr granddaughter to Odin, but I cant find the female connecting breeding in the pedigrees behind, that produced Ferdl von Secretainerie, but here is the essence..

Tobias Ott of Blasienberg Kennels mentioned earlier, used the Hettel son Alex von Westfalenheim, his son Erich von Grafenwerth, and the Horst son Falko von Scharenstetten to build his lines around. Harras von der Juech and Nores are also in his pedigrees. Ott was another that used Jungtell when it was not the thing to do, He used various herding stock but the most notable, the Beowulf son Jokel von Schwetzingen, all put together to come up with his great litter that showed at the 1925 Sieger Show. At that show, Seffe von Blasienberg was Siegerin and her two brothers, Samson and Sultan were both rated Select. This line almost became a line of its own, following its own path without most of the usual pillars. The line became a strong useful alternative outcross to breed to. The S litter pedigree is shown in a previous chapter. It was the foundation stock of Fortunate Fields and was also there in the background of Herald von Niederlausitz the 1930 and 31 Sieger. Brackett also wanted this blood. Between Arras aus der Stadt Velbert and Odin von Busecker Schloss three of the S litter were present. Arno von Villa Hugal; back in the pedigrees The S.V. also used this stock in their own breeding program in conjunction with Klodo von Boxberg and from that came the outstanding pillar Donar von Zuchtgut and his sister Diedre. In this pedigree note the herding degree on Donar as well as his mother and a pull towards the Horst, Jungtell working lines.

Heidecksburg HGH Alfred Hahn started breeding in the early twenties and is reported by the British author Wooten in "The German Shepherd Dog" as cycling to the Sieger Show in 1925, where he would have seen the great Klodo win. Perhaps it was this image that he was aiming for when years later he produced the great Odin von Busecker Schloss. Odin, basically the same colour as Klodo and in his background had an extra line to Klodo, not through Utz, through the mother side. Hahn's kennel name, taken from the name of the street he lived on became world famous. His first priority was to produce working dogs. He was always leading in efforts
to have all dogs trained and was a true believer in, "The German Shepherd is a working Dog". He still felt that way in 1981 when I spoke to him through an interpreter for half an hour. At the time he stood with a gray sable dog, one of the few Germans that still breeds the colour even though their market value is somewhat diminished. We spoke of many of the dogs that the new breed was built upon. Hahn first felt success when he sold Odin von Busecker Schloss to Dr. Werner Funk. When I met Hahn his dislike for North Americans was obvious. Still he was convinced, I am not sure how, that he should speak to me (we also had trouble finding someone to translate, I was getting frantic). He slowly answered my questions, having some trouble with my pronunciation of Claudius von Hain. I wanted to know what it was that brought the Germans to use this dog so much with the best bitches. I gathered that it was the fighting spirit of Claudius. Mr. Hahn's eyes lit up when he realized whom I was talking about. We also spoke of the son of Claudius, Select One at the Sieger Show Arno von Haus Gersie. Hahn used this dog himself a few times, the influence still prevails both in Germany and the United States. Mr. Hahn struck me as a very proud man with the same undefeatable character that he expected in his dogs. After half an hour he abruptly ended the conversation. The interpreter, who seemed to know him, said that he had spoken with me longer than he usually does. I had run out of questions for the moment but could have thought of more if given more time. I've heard since about his involvement in the war, the shooting of his dogs by American soldiers. I imagine his disappointments could have gone back to Odin when
Dr. Funk sold him to someone in the States. Faust was a product of the S.V. breeding program, started to revitalize the breed. Alfred Hahn did come up with more great dogs that are there in the background, by knowing which way to go, always looking for workers. His Wibored von Busecker Schloss, who was out of Olly von Busecker Schloss, sister to Odin was bred to Onyx von Frollenback, son of Bodo von Brahmenau HGH, son of Donar von Zuchtgut HGH. This produced the great dog Faust von Busecker Schloss. Faust was one of the dogs lost in the war but Alfred Hahn produced many more good ones, contributing to the rebuilding process. Another great contributing breeder was Dr Sachs of Von Hain kennels. In the early years many of his dogs were from outcross stock, many dogs coming from pure herding lines. Some of his herding stock actually went to Switzerland, later the lines were brought back and bred to his own herding dogs. Some, the S.V. didn't even have a recor5d of. Eventually one of his breedings contributed one of the most outstanding outcrosses into the main line. It had the potential, and actually did change the direction the breed was going. It was like the breed had suddenly gone back to where it started. Even though it was the new line, it had ancient lines to the beginning. It was blended in a positive way, coming in a gentle change, - for the better. Let us not forget to include the breeding expertise of Heinz Roeper, who bred under the kennel name zu den Sieben Faulen. He started breeding in the thirties; His most significant breeding at that point was when he bred a bitch with the PH to a full brother of Odin von Stolzenfels, Wotan von Stolzenfels. That gave him lining on Nores in the 4th 5th and 6th as well as Klodo, 4-4.

Lohburg) Boda v. Billhof PH 441442 Armin v. Pasewalk SchH Hedy Bergerslust SchH Blanka Bergerslust Odo Zu den Sieben Faulen is pictured, note breeding. He then took one of the resultant bitches Hexe zu den Sieben Faulen, to the Hussan son Brando von Heidelbeerberg. From the breeding came a great dog, a pillar in his own right, Odo zu den Sieben Faulen. Odo was also 5-5 on Sultan von Blasienberg and had Curt von Herzog Hedan in the 3rd. Odo is mostly prominent in the breed through his son Billo von Oberviehland, whose great contribution was to come. An example of Roeper's expertise is in that he took Billo's sister Blanka, probably as a stud service puppy, and she also
made a tremendous impression on the breed. Roeper's story of good breeding continued for years, his kennel kept cropping up with excellent dogs. Perhaps the most famous and longest to be remembered of the new breeders in Germany after Von Stephanitz was the young Dr. Funk, who handled Klodo von Boxberg as he won the Sieger Show in 1925. At that time Dr Funk owned the dog and showed him himself to this great win. Proudly he accepted the laurels as the owner of the new Sieger. Did anyone know how much of a central force Klodo, or Dr. Funk would be? They were a force pulling the breed together. It was the beginning of another time. Even though Dr. Funk had been around for a while, it was almost a marking point when he would move towards the leadership, both as a breeder and later as head of the S.V. almost, in the image of Von Stephanitz himself. Eventually he rose to such prominance in the breed that he was looked upon with the godliness that had previously been reserved for Von Stephanitz. In fact it is not shown that Von Stephanitz ever bred the consistent quality that was shown by Dr. Funk. Dr. Funk turned his kennel name, Haus Scheutting into the revered name in German Shepherds. He kept the kennel going almost until the day he died. It was basically Klodo that all the quality emanated from. An example of his creativity is his breeding of Utz von Haus Scheutting, followed by the son of Utz, Hussan von Haus Scheutting. Though Hussan was a result of breeding Utz directly into the warning blood it made the improvements lacking in Utz, such as incomplete dentition and better working character. These two dogs although both eventually sold out of Germany in their prime, must be considered as two prime pillars even within Germany. They were of the type chosen for the future, they were also prepotent to the extent that most of their offspring maintained that similar look.
The Hussan daughter, 1932 Siegerin Stella von Haus Scheutting, the mother of 1936 Sieger Arras aus der Stadt Velbert was considered a model for the breed herself. The year she was Siegerin, her daughter Adele aus der Stadt Velbert, was the runner up. Adele was a sister to Arras. The dogs of Haus Scheutting were legend; many others made their mark through using the likes of Utz to improve. Von Stephanitz did his last Sieger show in 1934. I didn't find who he put up either, but believe it was an Utz son. Before he departed he started to set the pattern for the post Utz era. In 1933 he made Odin von Stolzenfels the Sieger, although being of the Utz type he contained no Utz blood himself, he had strong lines back to Nores but probably the Erich influence had a lot to do with what he was. He also had strong lines to Jungtell and took on some of his characteristics like short strong back, good head. He also seemed to produce a more extreme rear. At that time it would appear as though Von Stephanitz and his cohorts had given up on their attempts to put the breed back drastically to the working\herding type, or maybe they just wanted more of the working lines blended in. In any case they could not sell the breeders on using Herold aus der Niederlausitz to any extent. There were those of the working\herding that would have their day again though. Von Stephanitz Koer system, gun testing for temperament and working herding degrees were not to be dropped. A little side note, the breeding of Herold did go back 5-5 on Hettel von Uckermark, 5-5 on Falko von Scharenstetten the great Horst son. Maybe it is unfortunate they couldn't get him used more often before shipping him to China. There was another significant litter produced by Curt von Herzog Hedan, it was the I litter Starrenburg. Starrenburg was one of the new generation kennels owned
originally by J.H. Hume but taken over later by Otto Hume. The mother of this litter was line bred on Erich von Grafenwerth and tailed down to more Starrenburg on the mother side. This kennel should not be confused with Starkenburg of Roland, Hans, Arko and all the sheep herding dogs at the beginning. In an effort to diminish the Utz influence without losing the general type that he had given them, a lot of German breeders were going to Odin von Stolzenfels. Progeny numbers were no longer available from this point. Of course he was also the Sieger which would have given him more popularity. He not only was not warned against using with the Utz lines but did not exhibit the same problems, it was a natural. They did not let this one get away. He showed a lot of the Jungtell good things. Short strong backs, good rear angulation, good heads and strong sound temperament were his contribution. One of his best sons was out of an Utz daughter, Dina von Webbelmanslust. From this breeding came Sigbert Heidegrund who is even more significant in the increase in rear angulation. He also had tough character, good back, strong head and was a real credit to the breed. He was a rich gray sable in colour. It is interesting to note the difference in Sigbert from his half brother Ferdl which had opposite direction mother lines, yet they were both great. In combination with Sigbert Heidegrund who was 3-3 on Klodo with only the one line through Utz there were all sorts of wonderful combinations available. The rebuilding process was going well. They utilized Odin von Stolzenfels sons such as Odin von Greunen Eck and Dewet von Starrenburg. Dewet went to the United States where his contribution was significant. A particularly noticeable Ferdl son was Bodo von het Vossenpark, line bred on Klodo 4-5.
The 1935 Sieger Jalk von Pagensgrub, the first Sieger after Von Stephanitz, was considered to be so promising but for that time he was probably too closely bred on Utz, he was Utz 3-2. In 1936 they dropped him to 3rd behind Arras and Odin von Busecker Schloss. In 1937 Odin was behind Pfeffer and by the next year had followed him to the United States. All the Utz stock did not leave Germany. There was Gockel von Bern, who like his half brother Dachs were both out of Vicki von Bern. Gockel combined Utz and Sultan von Blasienberg successfully. Gockel was bred to another bitch carrying Utz blood, Illa von Opelln Ost Zpr. As a result there was the first significant appearance of Piastendamm. In all German diagrams of succession of the breed Ingo Piastendamm 4,3-4 on Utz, is always considered as the main line of succession, from Utz von Haus Scheutting to the present. He was always shown as the main line of succession. It was probably more a matter of convenience rather than anything definite. The Utz daughter Vicki von Bern is shown as the key bitch in the von Bern and Piastendamm foundation breeding stock. She was also behind Ingo. Of course this concentrated the Utz blood. Wigand von Blasienberg, shown in the above pedigree and such an important part of von Bern breeding as well as that of Blasienberg and others. He was an important part of breed development in Germany, combining the Utz breeding with that of Blasienberg. However from here there began the great line Piastendamm dogs. Wolf Simon, later to become a doctor, carried on breeding even after the war; but he got his start with Utz stock in the thirties.
Ingo is bred much along the lines of Pfeffer von Bern but with no Dachs. It would appear that Dachs became unwanted in Germany. The breeders discussed in this chapter and the dogs they worked with are dogs that predominated in the prewar and war years. They formed part of the bases for breeding stock during and after the war.
