Chico von Forell

“This black male won a Bundessieger-title in 1970. He was a powerfully built dog, very square and compact with good bone. He had a good, deep chest, good reach of upper arm, correct topline and tailset. His rear angulation could have been better. His head was proportionate to his body but was rather roman-nosed.
For a working dog he had the wrong sort of temperament. According to Mr. Vogel Chico lacked 'Fighting spirit' and the will to work. He never gained a working certificate. However he passed on many good points and had among his off spring are 4 Dutch Champions and Flint von Forell. He was a good dog to put too finely boned bitches.
He won the DV-Sieger in 1969. The judge Mr. Utecht said: "of excellent type, nice blunt wedge type head with a strong muzzle. A strong back and a wide deep chest. Excellent angulation fore and aft, a dog with nobility".”
