Miko von Fürstenfeld

“This black dog was imported from Germany into Holland by Mrs. Knijff-Dermout (Van Neêrlands Stam). He was a large and elegant male with a lot of substance and a magnificent head. Unfortunately his tailset was too low and although he sired many excellent Dobermanns in Holland and Germany he passed on his poor tailset as well as his good qualities. For this reason Mrs. Knijff-Dermout sold him to another Dutch breeder Mrs. Bendien-Wansink.
He had a very fiery temperament and passed this on to many of his offspring. His daughter Palma von Ellendonk became Bundesleistungssiegerin. He passed his Schutzhund 1 at 5 years old and was shown for the last time at 7 years of age. The judge Mr. Rothfuss gave him the Champion Class and graded him excellent (DV Sieger Show at Würzburg). Miko became an International and Luxembourg Champion and lived to 13½ years of age.”
