On May 31, 2009, the NATC held a spring Zuchtschau at Rockaway, NJ. The show was judged by Mlle Agnès de France, President of French Club des Amateurs de Teckels. A big thank you to Teddy and Carl Moritz for hosting the show. It was held at a boy scout camp, a beautiful and perfect setting for the event.
Thank you to Jolanta Jeanney for sharing her great pictures!

Three good looking Teckelboys Milo, Mio and Felix

Lexi and Lilly vom Pfauenhof, both were meassured in with BU 29cm (chest circ.) and both weight about 3,5 KG about 7,5 lbs.

Both did very well and showed themselves from their best side and got the rating "Vorzüglich" Excellent. The judge really liked them both. Now they have the DTK permission to enter our breeding program.

Amore Mio von Schloss Tenneberg visited his first show and also showed himself from his best side. He was calm on the scale and table as the judge checked his teeth and checked each vertabrea in his tale ....and he got his first Vorzüglich. Just before I had to take him of the table the judge took his head looked in his eyes and said " a very nice dog".

Out of all the longhair dachshunds that received a rating of Vorzüglich, Mio won BOB! Also Anke Masters' bitch won BOB of the smooth teckel and Joeri vom Nonnenschlag owner Jolanta Jeanneney won Best of Breed cogratulation John and Jolanta!

We heard from

Moritz vom Weberschlösschen aka "Reggie"
He has grown into a handsome dog with a beautiful coat!

Lilly vom Weberschlösschen

Lilly's owners wrote us:
I do not think in the whole world there are more beautiful dogs then your dogs. Your commitment to excellence in breeding these beautiful creatures shows in every picture. It was fun to see all the other pictures and our Lilly as well. Thanks.
Our Lilly has gotten to be such a good dog. She finally is out of the crazy puppy stage. She is so much fun now and we love her so much. What a wonderful sweet dog she is. She is so affectionate and so smart. What is funny about her she is very verbal. If she wants something she does not bark she almost talks. She makes distinct sounds that sound like words. We totally know what she wants. We just laugh when she does it. If she wants to go out it is a different sound the when she wants to play. It is just hysterical. We are having so much fun with her. She has been a very healthy dog so far well. She is just a wonderful dog. If I ever want to get a dog in the future I will know who to contact. I totally see why you love this breed they are exceptional dogs.
Thanks Alexandra I hope you never stop doing what you are doing :-)

Germany May 2009

It was like always ....a wonderful (and successful) trip to Germany, but this time even better because it worked out that Dave my husband could go along. We also took Lydia and our dogs Felix and Finchen.
We first visited our dear friends Heinrich and Inge (owners of Ken vom Waldesrain, sire of Felix, Finchen and Flori and Felix vom Haus Schöneck sire of Ken) we are always greeted with heartfelt welcome. They makes us feel right at home and our dogs feel right at home too, instantly they bond with their dad (Ken)and grandfather (Felix)and remember right away the way to the backyard.

Inge cooked us a great meal!

Here we are at an Ice cream shop, in Germany the dogs are alowed to come and, and look at "king Felix" trying to get a bite of my ice cream

We went to the Europasiegerschau in Dortmund, Finchen got V1 in her class and with this earned the title VDH German Champion, Felix got V2. The judge had a difficult job making a decision with lots of beautiful correct dogs. There we meet Günter and Petra and lots of other teckelfriends. For us it is not only about showing our dogs, but also meeting our friends and making new friends.
Then we took drove south to bavaria and visited with my mom and just enjoying being "Home". We did a lot of hiking, biking and took a trip to Milano which was only 3 hrs from our appartment at Walchensee.

We hiked "Herzogstand" Lydia and her little feet got her to the top and Finchen and Felix did very well too. Here is a little video clip a view on top of Herzogstand

The last weekend of our trip, we drove up to Dortmund again and went to a Spezialzuchtschau in Melle-Neuenkirchen. It was held at a Strawberry Farm and yes they did have strawberries already and they were big and delicious!
Finchen and Felix cleaned up that they and got everything that was there to win. Our judge was Mrs Rhodin from Sweden.
After this show in the afternoon was the Champion of Champion. Only Felix could compete because he had his Champion titles already. There were 2 judges. Dr. Kettendörfer, Mr, Deutscher and Mrs. Rhodin. The judges independently had to judge the dogs and could not talk to each other.
First all the dogs in one class had to walk in the ring, and each round one was eliminated till there was only one male and one female of each class. It was nerve racking, the competion was great.
Then the male had to stand on a blue carpet and the female on the red carpet and the judges decided Felix is Champion of Champion. I was thrilled!

Then next day was the Landessiegerschau, Felix won everything and got the title Landessieger 2009, Finchen won her class but did not win the title when all the female winners of each class had to compete for the title. The judge said Finchen was the nicer dog, but she acted a little scared and shy and he awarded the another dog the title, because personaltiy is important too. It was a cold morning and she was shivering, she would have rather snuggled with Lydia in her coat. Yes that is our Finchen she rather be snuggling than showing herself off. Felix of course is so different, he is a "showman" he has strong nerves and knows he "got it" nothing faces him and the judges just loved him.

Our T-litter has arrived

EYE Test (CERF)

On the hottest day of the year, I took 7 dogs to the CERF examination in Lancaster at the Host Resort and Hotel. Over the weekend the Rottweiler Club had a show there and offered diferent types of health screening including the CERF test(Canine Eye Registraton Foundation) to check for PRA and cataract. The eye clinic was close to me, and eye clinics are not often offered in my area. So I took advatage and I took Felix, Finchen Flori, Lexi, Lilly, Lizzy and Mio and all passed A-o.k.! It was a job especially in that heat, but it was worth while and I know they are all o.k.

Our S Boys moved to their new homes.....

We heard from Serge and his family, he moved to N.J
.......he had good first night-crate at around 11, yelped for 10 minutes or so, then fell asleep. Got him up around 6, he ate a full breakfast without picking his head up out of the bowl, He's playfull, tail up and wagging, exploring, and did his first poop outside. He seems really sweet. He's going to be a handfull I can tell, but he's been started well. Great job and thanks! Vince
We heard from Samuel aka Maxi (no picture yet) lives with his new family in PA at a retirement community........He has met a lot of people wo of course all think that he is the cutest puppy they have seen. He brings lots of joy and smiles to people he meets -Karin

Siegfried aka "Finn" lives with his new family and big brother "Porter" a lab in MD Stanley lives with his new family in PA We heard that he made it home safe and sound, and is a happy playfull puppy with good appetite. Stanleys family wrote -We want to thank you for the little bundle of joy, he's going to make a great friend.-Tim
Simon moved with his family to R.I.

Hi Alexandra, Simon just had a vet visit and he's 5.5 pounds now. He's doing well. Housebreaking is still so-so but he's doing great overnight in the crate. He's a big snuggler and gets lots of exercise. He's the star of the show whenever we go out. The vet tech where we go wrote down your name because her friend is looking for a mini longhaired dachshund and hasn't been able to find anyone reputable around here. The vet was impressed with Simon's excellent teeth alignment and overall condition. Hope you are well. Jess
