Eick vom Eschenhof

“Eick vom Eschenhof was a middle sized black male bred in Germany. He had a good head and reachy neck. His angulation was good and he moved well.
He passed Schutzhund 1 with a score of 88-90-80. Though his result was not particularly high, his character was never in question. He passed the Körung twice.
He was well-known for the excellent working qualities he passed to his progeny.
He was the founder of the von Nymphenburg bloodline. Athene, Athos, Brutus, Berenike and Bellona von Nymphenburg all came from him.”
