Dogmania Mania

The combination of youth. experience and talent is embodied by this team whose members seem to have it all. With almost as many years in the dog game as they have been able to walk, these guys and gals, have achieved great heights. They are helpers : Sven Viebahn, Björn Reckmann and Handlers : Daniela and Carina Wagner. Just last year Carina was Deutsche Juniorenmeisterin for the second time, and also in the BSP with Isy Del Lupo Nero who was Vice-Universal Siegerin. Björn Reckmann just got selected as a helper for the WUSV qualification in Ungarn. The list of the teams achievements goes on and on with sister Daniela Wagner active in Dogsport since age 9 ! Check out this clip from the upcoming DVD, as Sven introduces the team.

Hasenborn History

Panos Hasenborn

Werner and son Frank Maxein and I sat down with a briefcase full of pictures and papers as they explained to me the beginning of the Hasenborn Kennel. Back in the days of Sieger Shows with Martin Göbl of Wildsteiger Land Kennels and to this day Werner still goes to the shows and supports his breed. "I know my line" Frank says, as he and his father stood out in the kennel area behind their business place, assessing their new male- Panos Hasenborn son. Stacking him and looking at the side-gait and going over the points of temperament and structure. "This is what we do often. We bounce ideas back and forth and come up with our breeding plans forward, right out here." Frank and Werner were very generous with their time and expertise and I hope you enjoy this little clip of our time together.

New Clip - Birgit & Fax

During my research into speaking with as many notable GSD Legends, I found of course those dogs and persons, that are not always in the spot-light. here is one of them, Fax Adelmannsfelder land. He is very good in anatomy, excellent working bloodlines, healthy, absolute medium size and was very successful in the Deutsch Meisterschaft competitions under the guidance of his handler Birgit Gottlieb!
He is a dog that did a lot of competitions in his life starting late at age 3! So I had alot of questions for Birgit as to how she did this- even placing 5th in the HSVRM Landesmeisterschaft with 100 points in protection. A great adversary to the many Malinois in that competition, he is a true credit to his race.
And at 11 years old, I got to do a little Decoy work for him and it was awesome. I hope you enjoy this little clip and preview of the Interviews to come.

Clips from the DVD

Every week or so I will be sharing some clips from the DVD that will accompany my book. This will give you an idea on how I am putting things together. This first clip is of Nancy Denecke, as she leads the herd down a dirt road with her German Shepherd's help to control them. Nancy is the first woman to ever win the Bundesleistungshüten ( German National Herding Trial ) and was gracious enough to give me an Interview right there at the venue.

I should let you know a little secret at the event, but I will let Marion Fueller tell it in her own words as she did in her report " Ein junger Mann aus Trindad kam mit dem Zug bis nach Schweinfurt und lief dann zu Fuss

nach Werneck. Dort fuhr ihn dann die Wirtin eines Hotels in Werneck nach Stettbach zu unserer Veranstaltung." Basically it translates to the fact that I took the train to the wrong town and walked 7 miles to the correct town where the owner of a hotel helped me to call her and get me to Stetbach. At the time it was not as funny as it is now, when I look back on it.

So check out the clip of Nancy and I will be adding more soon, even some of the actual interviews I have.
