Has anybody seen or owned

[trever]

Has anyvody seen or owned an offspring of Biko vom Herrenholz, Chuck von der Berghalbinsel, or Umbro vom Sittard? I am hoping things will slow down here in the next year or so an I can take up Schutzhunde. My Rottweilers have always been cow dogs but I have always liked the sport. I have seen Biko before and was really impressed with his temperment and drive (not so much with his head piece). I have heard that Chuck and Umbro produce well for the looks and for work. I researched and found some young stuff of Chuck's that has done half way decent. Umbro's are mostly too young to tell but several people have told me they look promising. I was just wondering if anyone here has seen their offspring. Possibly owned or worked their offspring. When things slow down I want to search for a club and then get a dog sometime after that. Just looking for opinions...

I have a Like v Sittard bitch that is turning into an exceptional little worker. Don't know if that helps or not.

I've heard very nice things about Biko. I like the Herrenholz stuff a lot.

I was talking to a breeder that may be bringing Biko here the first of the year. Apparently his offspring class won when he got his Korung. Would you say your female is a well rounded dog (good balance between looks and working ability)? What size is she?

Ter Waele Alfi is a cutie pie. There's pics of her in the gallery, she's a petite girl of 74lbs and she's called the 'flying monkey' at training.

Always keep in mind that there are two sides to a pedigree, so look at it all, not just the stud dog.

The mother to the litter I am looking at (with Umbro) is Olanda vom Storchengassle. A breeder I talk to quite a bit here in the US is bringing a couple pups from that litter to the US. It is my understanding that the owner (same owner as Biko) won't own a dog that isn't a working fool.

I posted some more pics for you to see of Alfi.
