A magnificent son of the VA Hill vom Farbenspiel. 

His pedigree is testimony to the careful and selective

breeding of  winning and successful bloodlines.

At the 2006 Sieger Show, the judge Herr Heinz Scheerer

praised the Hill vom Farbenspiel line as becoming a

valuable bloodline for the breed.

The Kulmbach Connection

In August 2006 Peter and Jenny returned to Germany to visit their good friends Edgar Rusenberg and Silke Kleine

(of Blumenkamp Kennels), Gerald and Regina Richts and Gerd and Petra Dexel (of Haus Dexel Kennels), and of course

 to visit the Sieger Show at Oberhausen.

At the Sieger Show we were once again in awe of some stunningly beautiful dogs.  We also noticed there was a strong

 emphasis on animals being in correct size, dark coloured and good pigmentation.

As always, we took much interest in the Sire's Progeny and Breeders Groups.  There were a number of Groups we were

 extremely impressed with, however the group of Dux de Cuatro Flores stood out along with that of the Sieger (Zamp vom

Thermodos).

The Breeders Groups are always give a good indication of each Kennel.  This year the winning Breeder's Group was

ZWINGER VOM FICHTENSCHLAG.  The animals presented in this group were:  Wilko vom Fichtenschlag,

Pina vom Fichtenschlag, Ray vom Fichtenschlag, Tiana vom Fichtenschlag and Viana vom Fictenschlag.

After the exciting (and exhausting) three days of the Sieger Show, we returned to Edgar and Silke's home.  Almost as

soon as we returned, Peter and Edgar travelled 5 hours south to Kulmbach to Wolfgang and Renate Hassgall's home

to mate Edgar's female to Dux (de Cuatro Flores).

After the mating, Wolfgang and Renate invited them to spend some time with them.  It was then Peter saw a stunning

young male inside the home.   During the conversation it was mentioned that the young male that Peter was looking

at was for sale.   This young male was Ray vom Fichtenschlag.

Upon their return, although both men were tired, both were extremely excited about Ray.   A number of days had passed

and the constant talking about Ray caused another trip down south for the girls to give their seal of approval.

Upon seeing Ray running around his home environment, he was happy and full of energy, and like most German dogs,

playing with his favorite toys.   It was not long after our arrival, both Jenny and Silke could understand the constant

talk about this young dog.

Armed with the knowledge of Ray's established family and breed type, coupled with his most valuable pedigree of

current influential German bloodlines, that Ray would be a valuable asset to the German Shepherd Dog breed in Australia.

We would like to thank the following people who all contributed in our purchase of Ray:

        Edgar and Silke for  true friends they have become and assistance (and acting as translators/interpreters)

        Wolfgang and Renate for  their wonderful friendship and hospitality and  most importantly, allowing us to bring Ray

        to Australia

       Jacek and Sabrina for their friendship and on hand interpreters and assistance

      Thank you to also Gerald and Regina Richts and Gerd and Petra Dexel for your knowledge and support in

      regards to Ray.

Peter and I are truly blessed to have such wonderful people we can truly call friends in Germany who are more than willing

 to help and give advise when we ask.

They finally have scored a victory over the girls!

The Zwinger vom Fichtenschlag was established in 1974 by Bernd Ossmann.  (The name vom Fichtenschlag was derived

from Bernd's desire to have a kennel name which was closely connected with his home land and the family property in Kronach

always had a spruce forest on it). 

At the 2001 Sieger Show  held in Dusseldorf Bernd had a very successful year with attaining V5 Gunnie vom Fichtenschlag and

 1st place Breeder's Group.  Bernd considered his successes a crowning conclusion of his breeding and showing years. 

He states the "kennel of the spuce impact became a world winner".

Also it was the year where Bernd handed the kennel vom Fichtenschlag to his son, Marco as his successor.

Marco and his family have a very close working and genuine friendship with Wolfgang and Renate Hassgall, where together

 they have enjoyed much success over the years.

The goal for Zwinger vom Fichtenschlag is to breed beautiful healthy German Shepherd Dogs with good temperament and

put much value to the nature and social behaviour of their dogs.

They have been very successful over the years at the highest levels of competition.
