On the weekend of 19th and 20th May 2001 I
visited the town of Rehburg in Niedersachsen, where the ADRK BG
Schaumburger-Land e.V. were hosting the Frühjahrskörung 2001.
|

|
I received directions from Helmut Witt, the chairman of
the BG, by e-mail before I left South Africa, and found the venue without incident.
|
|

|
The ADRK Frühjahrskörung 2001 Welcome was given by Gerd Apel, the
ADRK Main Breed Warden, and René Külzer - the ADRK Chairman.
The event was managed by the Hauptzuchtwart Gerd Apel. The two Körmeister were Helmut Freiburg for the
inspection, and Werner Walter for the protection work.
|

|
The helper for the
first part of the protection work was Adam Feist, and for the second part
was Tino Baumert. Ralf van Appeldorn acted as reserve helper.
As the Körung is an important element in the selection of the most suitable
breeding stock, the ADRK takes great care to exclude dogs that do not
show the desirable breed traits and temperament. This was confirmed
by the
strictness of judging throughout the two days. |

|
I met some old friends at the Körung, including Martin Hillgemann
and Nicolas
Nolf, and also made some new ones, like Jacob Grol with Donald vom
Urstromtal. |

|
Martin Hillgemann makes these life size bronze Rottweiler statues
by hand. |

|
Saturday night's supper. I heard from Nicolas the next day
that the party was good! Unfortunately I could not stay, as I had to travel two
hours either way each day. |

|
|

|
One of the most memorable dogs was Kuddel vom
Fleischer,
who performed as test dog for the protection work on Sunday. Kuddel impressed
me with his keenness to work and was going to be entered in the
Herbstkörung 2001. I read with shock and sadness of his sudden death a short time after this event. |

|
Thank you to the helpers for their work. |

|
Thank you and farewell from Helmut Witt, the chairman of
the ADRK BG Schaumburger - Land e.V. that hosted the Frühjahrskörung
2001. |

|

|
On the 22nd May 2001 I visited the ADRK BG Hoyerswege, which was
close to where I was staying. I met the chairman Hans Steckelberg as
well as club members of the BG. |

|
I was fortunate to watch one of their training sessions and to talk
to club members afterwards in the BG's club house. |

|
On the 23rd May 2001 I traveled to the
town of Oldenburg and visited the two ADRK Rottweiler Kennels "Vom Tweelbäker See" owned by
Jonny-W. Bulk, and "Vom Hause Anin" owned by Andreas Piepgras.
It was a worthwhile and interesting trip!
