Bingo von Ellendonk

Bingo von Ellendonk was the winner of the D.V. Meisterschaft in 1977 at 2 years and runner-up in 1978, 1979, 1980 and 1981. Judge Ottmar Vogel particularly admired Bingo's performance at the D.V. Meistershaft in Hamburg in 1978 and described him as a very hard dog that could take extreme levels of stress and still show no problems in grip. Bingo is the only Dobermann to have recorded a perfect score of 100-100-100=300 points in Schutzhund III and titled "V" (excellent) in Schutzhund III over thirty times. He exhibited an enormous will to work and constantly impressed most with his immense fighting spirit and outstanding courage, hardness and strong nerve. Best of all, Bingo threw his own high drives and robust character onto a large percentage of his progeny. His contribution in enhancing the breed's working ability is unparalleled.

Bingo passed the Körung 'for life' with highest rating for hardness, working drives and fighting spirit. Conformation wise he was a masculine, substantial, medium-sized, stretched male of very good type although a little low set (short legged). His withers could have been more pronounced and the back firmer. He had a short neck due to a far forward placed shoulder. The croup was well laid. Sufficient depth of chest and a well angulated front, but the elbows could have been tighter. The pasterns were sufficiently firm, but the feet were flat and turned outwards. Well angulated hindquarters. A powerful head although the planes could have been more parallel, a strong muzzle. He moved with an effective, ground-covering movement.

Bingo lived to 10 years of age and passed away from bloat. He has left a strong mark on his offspring and is widely credited with improving the working temperament of the Dobermann in Europe. Below are his most influential litters and offspring:
