Gildo vom Koerbelbach, Olko, Orly vom Baerenfang

[carmspack]

Mrs K , earlier this year I remember you said something about Gildo having good herding instinct . What can you say about that.
The information that I have says that the person who had Gildo before your father, said he was a hunting dog , good at dispatching wild hogs -- ??
We seem to be getting two very different views of the dog.

I am just buring brain cells trying to remember a kennel in Quebec (schutzhund sport) that did a lot of heavy linebreeding on Gildo . Do you think the name would come? I know a person who bought several of these dogs , the favoured dogs in his club . They did not appeal to me .

There's Raino Flugge's kennel and then there's [schutzhund judge whose name I have forgotten] who imported and owned Mythus v Koerbelbach and bred Dune v Bergblick (and other dogs who I am not familiar with):

Dune: Dune von Bergblick - German Shepherd Dog

Raino's current dog, Kofi:
V Kofi vom Kiebitzende - German Shepherd Dog

I believe you are talking about Lance Collins.

Ulk Bungalow was also in Canada owned by a man named Fred Scharpf (sp). Frank Mensing, (also a judge), handled Ulk at the 1983 Europameister, (WUSV), the same year I went with my dog Vandal. Ulk also stayed at my friend's kennel for a time in the mid 80s. Donn was also owned by Egon Vorrath. Von Enztal was his kennel name as I recall. Canadians seemed to like the Bungalow/Korbelbach dogs...or some of them did anyway. Some connection there with Ritzi I guess.

pooop pooop plink -- that is the sound of my last worn out grey cell falling to the floor - so I used my "life line" to ask Mike , otherwise I would be thinking about it all night - told him , guy in Quebec , all the schutzhund people around here went to him - almost all members of a certain club -- linebreed on Gildo -- and in a split second he had "it"

I was just talking to Mom about Mex. I believe Christine found a dog that had Mex in the pedigree but it turned out the dog was dead. I believe a dog that was in Canada too, not even that far away from here.

As for Gildo, from my knowledge, he never went hunting after hogs. I asked my dad about it and to he doesn't know anything about hog hunting either and he watched his training closely before he bought him.

He did have herding instinct and he did pass it on. Best example is Dixie.
She rounded up sheep and helped bringing them in. They would have went on the road and probably died, if it wasn't for that dog. Never had a single day of training in herding, she just did it. They were already outside the gate.

All of them had/have it.
You could also see it with the horses. The dogs ran the paths/trail, all the way down and back around "to keep the horses together". I don't exactly know how you call it.
And I believe I'm not the only one who knows that they have the herding instinct and that Gildo passed it on.

Wasn't this Kofi? I know someone in New England has a litter of his puppies on the ground right now--you sure he's dead?

Edited to add: Yes--Kofi is at the WUSV Championships right now--just posted a 72 point tracking score.

Just to clarify, Doug Deacon imported and owned & trialled Mythus v Koerbelbach.

Lance Collins owned and bred Dune v Bergblick, he still breeds under the kennel name vom Bergblick.

Frank Mensing bred GSD under the kennel name vom Norbreeze, and his wife bred Rotties under the kennel name vom Pacifica.

Juergen and his son Micheal were very well liked by the Canadians and sold many dogs to them, also were over for many seminars and judged many trials.

Ack, sorry. I am trying to remember. You showed me one dog that either had Gildo or another Baerenfang in there, that we both liked. He was standing in Canada. They e also did SAR. Not too far from the thousand island area.
It was a really nice dog too. Maybe I can find it on mom's facebook.
edit: only sent her Kofi. Darnit. I'll go through the stuff and see if I can find that dog. It was a REALLY nice dog. CZIBOR! It was CZIBOR!
She said "He was a really special dog for sure." so I'm guessing the dog no longer lives.
