Graf Guido vom Franckenhorst

Graf Guido vom Franckenhorst passed the ZTP with 1A rating for character and V for conformation plus winner of numerous show titles. He lived to 10 years of age and tested clear for PHTVL/PHPV.

“This black male was imported from Holland into Germany by the German judge Mrs. Assenmacher-Feyel. At a special show for Dobermanns in Germany Mr. Kugel wrote: 'A male with a lot of nobility. He is very good build. He has substance, a very nice long head with parallel planes, dark eyes, long neck, and an enormous deep chest. The topline is correct. He has a good forechest and a good angulation. He has well muscled hind quarters and a dark clean tan. His dentition is correct'. Like his contemporary Baron Bryan vom Harro's Berg Guido was very successful in the showring. He is the title record holder. Guido is an International Champion and in 13 countries National Champion. He won the World Winner title in 1987. Guido was the Bundessieger in 1989 and the Europesieger in 1988. He mated bitches all over the world. His descendants are not sufficiently developed to warrant any final conclusion concerning his hereditary power and value. Guido has a very good character and passed his Schutzhund 1.”
