Our history
My whole life has always revolved around dogs and horses. It all began in 1991 when I got my first dog. His name was Morris and was a mixed breed Husky from a shelter.
He accompanied me every day until the 13th of January 2006. He was the steadfast guardians of the stables and the best friend and playmate of my riding students. I started working with Morris on the dog training facility and this led to many years of intensive dog sport.
We participated many times at the Companion Dog level 2 and several times we were awarded club champion.
Another interest of mine was to be a part of protection dog sports.In April of 1993 l bought my first German shepherd dog "of the Joplin Brandachschneise" and with her I passed the Schutzhund III.
During this time I got to know Mrs. Dagmar Haidinger, the "Jil from Brandachschneise," the foundation bitch of her kennel Teufelsjoch possessed.
In june of 1995,from her first litter I purchased Andor Teufelsjoch. Andor was my absolute top dog and I took him to the SchH III, IPO III. Andor died on 9 June 2008, afte rliving a beautiful and fullfilling life.He was the dog of my heart!
The documentation about the universe "Rex the true story of 1996 –which is a documentary about the German Shepherd dog but also introduced to the Australian Cattle Dog. I was fascinated with what force and determination two dogs were able to move a large herd of cattle. A riding friend of mine had spent a year in Australia and when he returned had nothing but rave reviews about these dogs.
My interest was sparked and I began my arduous search for breed descriptions, breeders, etc. At that time many years ago not much was know about the Cattle Dog.Years passed but this race of dog never left my mind.
In 2004,so began the search for a Cattle Dog puppyThrough the Internet, there was now greater access to the still fairly rare breed and so I came to the kennel "Kings of the Dawn" by Mr. Andreas Kettl. He just had a litter and so Donka came into my life.
Donka ACD is a male with his own personality and a little rough around the edges, I was puzzled because, what had worked well for German Shepherds, was not working for him. Donka is the absolute ruler and leader of the pack in my house but still friendly with people and loves to play.
Donka is fully approved for breeding since 2006 and has already witnessed promising offspring.
When I showed Andrew his second litter, I was immediately aware of the high quality. After much deliberation, I decided to keep Lela, much to the delight of Donka, because he was getting bored with my old dog.
Lela is a very friendly and obedient dog. She’s absolutely compatible with a high willingness to work and enjoys to play Frisbee. Lela is an absolute shadow dog,following your every step.
In January 2007 with Blue, l fullfilled a wish come true and breeding partner for Donka, but also committed a good deed. Blue was returned back to the kennel Cidabro from Mrs Andrea Dankova, because the previous owners did not know what to do with her.
Mrs. Dankova, the Blue adored, decided reluctantly to seek a life space for Blue, because Blue was not equal because of their bad experiences with their previous owners, the pack pressure in the kennel Cidabro.
In the beginning,Blue was afraid of everything but after a few weeks a real power package came to light. Blue always has something, and she is always good and obedient. She can be allowed anywhere to run free because l know she will always come to be by my side.
Byron, the Lord is our latest addition, he is from the litter Lela x Otto. I have long considered another dog to keep, but there never were any problems between Andor and Donka, I hope that Donka and Byron keep it that way.
Byron is a truly nice guy and has inherited the balanced nature of his mother. He’s always mild tempered, loving and good.
The kennel Teufelsjoch
The kennel Teufelsjoch produced four litters of German Shepherds between 1995 and 2000. In The offspring from these litters were well-known sports, Narcotic Drugs and service dogs. Through Mrs. Haidinger I learned a lot about breeding, litters and German Shepherds in particular. Now l can use this knowledge to raise litters of my own.
When it was time to open up my own private Kennel, Mrs. Haidinger offered me her kennel name Teufelsjoch under the My Cattle Dog Breed.
Meanwhile, Mrs Haidinger was infected with ACD virus. With the death of her German Shepherd dog Dango from Teufelsjoch, Bruni moved in with them. That Bruni doesn’t feel lonely they kept Biene from the B-litter as well.
And thus has come full circle, since the universe documentation, Dagmar and I always talked about the time when we will have our own kennel of Australian Cattle Dogs ......
