Bonni vom Nettetal

Bonni vom Nettetal was the winner of the D.V. Meisterschaft in 1986 and 1987. He also passed the Körung 'for life' with highest rating for hardness and working drives. Bonni passed away in 1991 at 9 years of age while his sire, Bingo von Ellendonk, lived to 10 years of age.

Bonni was later sold to Spain where he managed to win the D.C.E (Dobermann Club de España) Meisterschaft in 1989. In 1990, he placed second in the working Championship of Spain for all-breeds with a score of 285 points. In the same year Bonni participated for Spain at the F.C.I. IPO World Championship in Denmark.

Bonni's sire, Bingo von Ellendonk, was the winner of the D.V. Meisterschaft in 1977 and passed the Körung 'for life' with highest rating for hardness and working drives while his dam, Anuk vom Nettetal, was the winner of the D.V. Meisterschaft in 1985.

“This black male was exported from Germany to Holland. He was not a big dog and some critics said that he was too feminine in body and head shape. However it was generally agreed that Bonni had an outstanding character. He has IPO III and Schutzhund III. He was a German Working Champion in Dobermanns in 1986 gaining 97-94-95 and again in 1987 with 96-94-98. He was a Dutch Working Champion in Dobermanns in 1985 and 1987. It is interesting to know that at his first attempt to gain his IPO Bonni failed with a score of 76-83-74 but only six weeks later and under the same judge he passed with a score of 92-80-90. Soon after his success in Germany at the 'D.V. Leistung Siegerprüfung' he was sold to Spain. He did not sire anything important for the breed.”
