Presuming that happens and a breeding is successful, puppies may be available sometime in late May, 2011. I do not except deposits until the 45th day of pregnancy, but I do keep a list of perspective buyers. If you have interest in this planned breeding feel free to contact me.

Minka vom Schnepfenstrich Biography:

If I was allowed only to mention one of Minka's attributes it would be her phenomenal temperament. Minka is as calm a DK as you'll likely find and that is enhanced further by her desire to please. She is truly a pleasure to hunt with and live with. In fact the reason that I purchased Minka as a puppy was predominantly because of reading a rather lengthy litter notice complimenting the great calmness of the Sire of the expected litter, "Rocky vom Neuarenburg". That notice can be viewed in the Articles Section of this website.Calm ness and temperament come way before looks and pedigrees in my book.

Since I have owned at least one dog that was at the other end of the spectrum with respect to calmness and trainability, I was not looking to further punish myself with a lot of wasted time and effort trying to put lipstick on a pig. Minka was simply the answer to my prayers.

In our German performance based breeding and testing system, there are many things that an unsettled dog is not likely to do well including blood tracking, searching methodically and following scent trails. More importantly good obedience is much easier to obtain and enforce when a dog is calm and willing to please. I am lucky to have Minka and proud to hunt with her.

Minka was Designate V1 of the female dogs at the NAKP Zuchtschau (Breed Show) The comments of the two German judges: "We can find no faults with this dog!".
