D.V. Deutsche Meisterschaft

  • Highest protection score.

Helena vom Eschenhof competed four times in the D.V. Meisterschaft and passed the Körung 'for life' with highest rating for hardness and working drives. She also gained her FH tracking title and Ausauerprufung (ADPr) endurance test.

“Bred in Germany this was an important foundation bitch not only for her owner Iris Krummel, but also for the breed in Germany as a whole. She was the mother of such important dogs as Berenike, Brutus, Bellona, Daphne, Farina & Feus von Nymphenburg, and her grandchildren also proved to be International champions and sought after breeding animals in many other countries besides Germany. Helena was an elegant but powerful bitch with a squarely built body. She had a good head and neck, was very good in the chest, topline and tailset. Plus she moved correctly.
In the character, she was an outstanding specimen, passing her Schutzhund III 38 times, and was also 4 times a participant on the DV Working Championships (where even to qualify once is recommendation enough). On one of these occasions she also was high scoring dog in the schutzdienst (manwork). She was the High in Trial at several working trials and also passed the Körung 'for life'. In conformation she also performed credibly, for example in 1976 she placed second behind Dewi vom Franckenhorst at the Bundessieger show.
Breed specialist Ottmar Vogel considered her a 'dream bitch' - an invaluable brood bitch for the breed. Due to her good conformation standard and truly outstanding character and working abilities. She lived to a very old age, and therefore proved to be more widely influential than her more famous daughter Berenike von Nymphenburg.”
