Falk vd Wolfen

BlackthornGSD · 02-23-2011, 05:16 PM

What does Falk (and his siblings) bring to the table? Just going off of pedigree, from his dad, Ahron, I'd expect great tracking, high defense, quite a bit of "civilness"--just going on pedigree and the dogs I've known from his lines. Through his mom, I'd expect deep, full grips, intense and calm prey drive, steady nerves.

Falk has obviously done extremely well in competition and as a producer--but what is he known for? What common traits do you see in his progeny and his siblings' progeny?

Christine, I think you nailed a lot of the general traits. I like to see Ahron in a pedigree for strong aggression. I have a male puppy coming from across the pond whose sire is Ickx von haus Klonne. Ickx's dam is out of Falk vd Wolfen. In talking to the breeder many of the things you have in your post were mentioned with Falk offspring in Europe. Though Falk has a reputation for great sport producer, he also has reputation for "strong" dogs and good civilness. Anyway, the dam of my pup is Czech lines, that I know carry great nerve and good civil....so we will see.

I think one of the things that keeps coming up when I talk to people about him is that he is a great sport producer who's offspring can be more on the prey driven side of work or be more on the serious side depedning on what their training has been geared towards. It also seems like he has good genetics structurally.

And of course my usual disclaimer goes along with this that I really have no idea what I'm talking about, but like to profer some kind of opinion to try and learn from my mistakes

That's an AWFUL shiny dog, there, Cliff!

Falk seems to pass that shiny, healthy-looking coat on. Also the rounder eyes are not uncommonly seen. Ickx is quite handsome, altogether. Good luck with the pup!

Woah, I can't believe how many he looks in that picture for only being a year old--no puppy there!

Yes, I know

He still looks more "mature" than a year old dog in the pic....
"12 Monate alt" = 12 months old

Saber is a Falk granddaughter and so far she is fantastic. Shows great natural tracking ability and super smart. Nice shiny coat and beautiful dark pigment.

Wow, that is quite possibly the most fabulous looking 12 mo dog I've ever seen!
