Bryan von Forell

“This powerful black male was imported into Sweden by Mrs L. Edström at the age of 5 months. Bryan was a big male with a good head and correct body. He was the son of Vello von Fürstenfeld, a dog whose value as a stud dog was first recognised by Mr E. Wilking, Chairman of the German Dobermann Club, breeder and judge. The “B” litter proved him right.
Bryan improved the quality of the breed in Scandinavia. He also produced some excellent progeny in Holland and Germany by artificial insemination. One of his sons Guys Hilo von Norden Stamm became an influential male.
His Dutch son Don Dayan vom Franckenhorst was very important to the breed in Holland through his own son Hertog Alpha le Dobry. Bryan became a Champion in Norway and Sweden and was probably the most influential male since World War II. He sired more than 30 champions.”
