Gaby and John came across our website and were pleased to discover other German wirehaired dachshunds in this country. They live only two hours from us. To make a long story short, we asked for Tootsie's pedigree and were very pleasantly surprised - an excellent working/show pedigree with a lot of blood tracking titles there. She was bred by Peter Geiger. Her sire is DtJCh 2006 GS 2007 Antonio vom Linteler-Forst FCI, BHP-G BhFK 95 BhN SchwhN Sfk Sp/J StiJ VpoSp GTB.69/2007 V, her dam is Milli von Leoprechting BhFK 95 SchwhN Sp Sp/J V.
Tootsie came in heat a week ago, and we asked John and Gaby to bring her here so we could evaluate her. We really liked her. She has a very nice conformation according to the FCI standard, and her weight is around 18 lbs. Excellent ground clearance, nice coat, good angulation, super personality. We tested her on an overnight blood line and she was excellent (she has never seen a blood line before). Her nose was glued to the ground, and she followed the blood line at the medium speed, close to the line.
From John's description of her behavior towards deer, bear and other game that crosses their property, she must be spurlaut. We encouraged Gaby and John to breed her as she will be 5 years old in April. This is quite late for the first litter. She would make a really nice addition to the small gene pool of European working wires living in the USA.
Tootsie is going to have a DNA test for the PRA NPHP4 mutation done as we test all our dogs that we use in our breeding program. On Monday-Wednesday we bred Tootsie to our FC Billy von Moosbach-Zuzelek, Schwhk, BHP1, BHP 2, BHP 3, Wa-T, Sfk. The litter is going to be registered with the AKC.
John and Gaby are experienced "dog people", and I am sure will do a super job raising pups. For us it is a chance to get a Billy/Tootsie daughter. Keena is the the only daughter of Billy that we have, and she will be soon seven years old. This is a chance for us to rejuvenate Billy's line as he is eight years old and not getting any younger.
We think that the pups will have a very good potential for blood tracking and field trialing. For more info contact Gaby or John at jbertell@charter.net. below are Tootsie's picture taken today.

Thats good for your breeding program. How lucky you are. Maybe there is more imported dachshunds in the US. Don´t you have a data register like we do?
How do you import a dog from Germany, I´m just curious. You can mail me about that.
She looks very nice!
What good fortune. The breeding Gods are smiling on you now! :) She looks lovely (maybe not all that thrilled about being ont he table) but what a nice looking gal!
What a good looking dog
Thank you!
