This year, the open class males were judged by Mr. Reinhardt Mayer, the
new breed warden of s.v and breeder of famous kennel bergmanshof. The
kennel has produced top dogs like VA-1 ,Iso bergmanshof, VA-Relli
bergmanshof, -Olk bergmanshof,.I still cherish the memory of Reinhardt
judging the 93 open class females (He had to take up the task as Dr.
Beck was unwell). He put Nathalie v.d winerau as va1 and his judging was
top class. Reinhardt has visited India twice in 99 - 2000. Reinhardt is
always composed and knows exactly what to do. I hope, that as he is to
judge open class males in the forthcoming years, he will implement the
plans in the right direction, and will make the right changes for the
breed, The judges and kormeisters respect him for his knowledge about
the breed. If he stays on as breed warden for a longer span of time, it
is definitely going to benefit our beloved breed.
In
the open class males, there were 8 VAs. It is interesting to note that
pakros,dux,vegas,aggasi are bred outside Germany.
This time, the 2006 seiger Zamp v.thermodos presented an outstanding
progeny group and was in excellent condition, but remained unshown. I
was expecting him to fetch his double seiger crown which he is
definitely worthy of.
The Va-1(seiger) title went to Pakros d ulmental. He was va-4 last year.
He is an excellent dog of correct proportions. Being the son of seiger
bax and seigerin karma, his bloodline offers tremendous breeding value.In
The open class males he sired this year s va4 vegas and v25-zapp vom
eichenplatz, In the open class females, he sired v3-lyra .v.radhaus and
v16-nannilavon der freihtwesterholt. In the young class females (18-24
months), he sired sg19-zicke vom hanness, sg25-schiwa vom ostberger-land,
sg26-riska vom wittelsbacherschloss and sg29-holly von der
baiertalertrasse. Apart from these, pakros produced sg46, 61, 65,
69, 71, 77, 81. In youth males, he produced sg42-Merlin haus dexel. In
youth class females, he produced sg7-Darra vom murrtal,
sg19-faye.v.santamar and sg57, 61 and 62.
At
the 2008 seiger show, we can expect some more quality males from him. In
the ring, pakros gave a spirited performance. In the fast gait, he left
the rest of the competition far behind.
Va2 Quenn vom loherweg was va6 last year. Very popular among german
breeders, he deserved this position owing to his bloodline, anatomy and
producing ability. For me, he is the best, considering the above
mentioned facts. His sons were strong and masculine, with good
pigmentation. Some were a little large, and some lacked strong nerves.
His daughters were of very good proportions. In the open class females,
he produced Godalis queena v20,and v65-tami. In the young class males,
he produced sg1-Godalis tino, sg2-Tyson kotterbusch, sg14-magnum zum
kolbenguss, sg-15-vimo vom reginapacis, sg20-markus vom statusquo,
sg25-cedric vom amur, sg48 and sg53.
Among the young class females, QUENN produced sg7-zaira v rumbachtal,
sg11-godalis tiara, sg13-tinka v kotterbusch, sg15-quiny vom arnsberger
klosterberg, sg27-xera vom holtkampsee, sg28-vivi reginapacis and
sg56-sarie vom Steinway park.
In
youth class males, Quenn produced super dog sg2-furbo degli achei. I
have already mentioned about him earlier; and sg29-mika vom
overleadingerland bred by my good friend gunther muller. i personally
felt mika could have been among the top 15. A large dog of very good
proportions and pigmentation, mika has very good litter brother and
litter sister as well. Quenn also produced sg32-don vom kabinett and
sg70, 95, 98, 115 in this class.
In
the youth class females, Quenn produced sg9 - visa v bad-boll, and sg
41, 81, 86, 96, 114, 121.
In
the youth class(herding), Quenn produced sg7-maikali vom krischental and
sg10-mekki vom krischental.
From the above results, the powerful influence of quenn in the 2007
seiger show is evident. Hope he will continue to contribute to the G.S.D
Gene pool by producing similar superior quality offspring in 2008.
VA3 went to Dux de cuatro
flores. He offers an alternate blood-line
through Mutz and flag bearer of huppy arlett and hill v. farbenspeil.
Last year, he was va5. This hill son impressed me with his correct size,
super character and most importantly, with his trait of passing these
qualities to his offsprings. In 2007, he produced many excellent females
and few top males. Prior to the show, my friends told me that he had an
operation in the knee and hence was standing close behind. But once
inside the ring, the fire and determination in his eyes was
unmistakable.
In
the open class males, dux produced v5-URAN VON DER WILHELMSWARTE, a very
good dog of excellent proportions, with good movement and excellent fore
reach and v37-eros delle antiche muse.
In the open class females, dux produced v13-orka von der freiheit
westerholt,v21-atlanta von der bierstadterhof.
IN
the young male class (18-24 months), dux produced an excellent son
sg2-SONY VOM HEINRICHPLATZ, a top class male who is a definite watch out
for the 2008 seiger show. He also produced sg63 and 104 in this class.
In
the young class females, he produced sg-39, 82, 84, 95, 99, 111 and 123.
In the youth class males, dux produced sg-49, 57 and 68. In the youth
class females, he produced sg-11- kara v.d bertenau and sg-17-xindy vom
zindorfergauner. DUX also produced the young class herding seiger
sg1-odin vom martelsberg, young class herding vize seigerin xenia vom
zindorfergauner and sg-6, 9 in this class.
VA4 VEGAS DU HAUT MANSERD, the French bred dog, was va8 last year and
sg1 in the 2005 youth class under Mr. Reinhardt Mayer. A stylish male
with very good expression and pigmentation, he was bred by passionate
french breeder Raoul Francis. In the french seiger show, Raoul showed me
a beautiful (12-18 months class) female, which is the same breeding as
vegas-carma du haut mansard (pakros+rangoon) � a female to watch out in
2008. In a very short period of stud use, vegas had produced very good
offspring. In his first progeny group in the youth class males (12-18
months), he has produced sg-5 belisar v.aurelius, a top quality male,
Sg-18- dean vom karlsfelderhof, sg-23-peppermints charliebrown, sg-39,
46, 48, in this class. In the youth class females, vegas totally
dominated with his daughters, one of them being sg 2- bardy du domaine
duparc, a top class female of excellent proportions, pigmentation and
movement. After the german seiger show, she also became French youth
seigerin in the French seiger show. Vegas also produced sg-3 ussi vom
pallas athene, sg4-jana v.d plassenburg, sg6-rimni v.d zenteiche,
sg-13, 14, 26, 38, 39, 49, 58,72, 128 in this class.

So, the producing ability of vegas is evident from the above, and more
so in the case of superior female progeny. In the coming year, we might
see some quality males from vegas
VA5�ORIT VOM HUHNENGRAB
A
large masculine male with strong head and expression, he lost his
position from last year�s va3. His sg-66 son bravos du naphil is an
excellent dog and must do well in 2008. Under Mr. Reinhardt Mayer in the
open class, other than Bravos, his progeny was better than last year but
did not impresse me in terms of type, uniformity and size.
VA-6- NANDO VOM GOLLERWEIHER
A
large masculine dog with very powerful head, he produced sg5-pango v.d
burg reichenstein in the young class male. Also, he produced sg35-enzor
v.tamaraspltze. In the young class females (18-24 months), Nando
produced sg-12 �enjali vom bierstadterhof. In the youth class (12-18
months) males, he produced sg-25 ferro von der hohen zeile, sg37-shanon
vom deutschenadel, sg65 and 158. I hope nando produces better in 2008,
with better mask and correct size.
VA-7-INGODDS AGASSI
Last year v-14, this was a big leap for this ghandi son, who has very
good character and movement Mr. Mayer must have included Agassi to
continue ghandi arlett blood-line. He produced sg3-gio Franken gold in
the youth class and sg15 female
Vienna
vom heinrichplatz in the youth class females. In 2008, we can expect
better progeny with better pigmentation, underline, croupe from agassi.
As many good females will come to him for his va status.

VA-8- went to last year�s va7 ODIN V. HOLTKAMPERHOF, a son of top
producer yak Franken gold. Odin oozes masculinity, strength and
expression with excellent character. He presented his first progeny
group in a short time and from limited breeding results. To me, the
progeny is not up to the mark, with the exception of a few good ones.
They all look good in stance, but in movement, one can see soft
pasterns, low wither, curved back-line, raised back on the move (back
highest point not wither). Some of them had good hind-thrust but could
not transmit on the front, had restricted front reach with paddling
action. It was definitely disappointing. Odin�s half brother Idol seems
to be a better producer than him. Odin produced sg71 in the young class
males. In the young class females, he produced sg17-issa vom
holtkamperhof. He also produced sg 23, 36 and 87 in this class. In the
youth class males, he produced sg8-atos dell altopino, sg19-sado v.d
ostfriesischen thingstate. He also produced sg36, 51, 55, 73 and 92 in
this class. In the youth class females, Odin produced sg8 - saki v.d
ostfriesischen thingstate and sg-24, 25, 32, 34, 40, 93 and 160.In 2008,
a better quality progeny is expected to keep him on the top.
