Andreas Igel is working with his dog "Simon vom Haus Barrett" very hard in the last few months. He was very successful this summer. He passed SchH 2 with 99 points in tracking, 88 points in obedience and 97 in schutzhund. He also entered a trophy competition and made 90 points in obedience and 99 points in schutzhund.

We do want to congratulate him on these great results. We are very pleased with this dog. Simon is a son of "Zaskia von Arminius" and "Gustl von der Köhlertanne". We do have plans to have him as the sire of one of our upcoming litters with "Melody vom Haus Barrett" this fall of 2006. Here are some recent pictures of Simon

For a new edition of a dog equipment catalog from "Michael Schweikert, Germany" a few pictures of "Grizzly vom Haus Barrett" were taken during schutzhund work. A few pictures can be seen below.

Done very well, Mr. Schweikert said

The owner is very proud of Grizzly

Yesterday we entered a trophy competition with our Tabaluga. The competition was held in another city. We started as a team with my girl-friend Petra and her dog "Diego vom Schloss Ebersberg. They were showing the obedience part. I entered with our "Tabaluga vom Steckenborn" in schutzhund. Although we only trained two times at this new place with a new "trainer" Tabaluga done very well. Together as a team we came in 3rd place. Diego reached 93 points in obedience and Tabaluga also 93 (from 100) points in "schutzhund". We are very proud of them. My son Jason who had birthday yesterday was joining us and making a few pictures of Tabaluga during "Schutzdienst". Because of this competiton his birthday party started a little late, he did not mind. Thank you again, Jason!!!

Today on12th of June 2005 we had a trophy competition in our club in "Groß-Rohrheim

Marion with "Dragon vom Haus Barrett" and Petra with "Diego vom Schloß Ebersberg" started as a team and came in 4th place in VPG 1.

Petra with "Rica vom Haus Barrett" and Dagmar with "Nora vom Haus Barrett" started also as a team in VPG 1 and came in 5th place. Nora did not do too well today. She showed not the best behavior, when it came to let go of the arm. She did "let go" on command, but then tried to nip a few times back at the arm again, which of course was a "no, no".

Dragon is a son of "Ondie vom Jägerstand" and "Gustl von der Köhlertanne"

He found the "bad buy"; he is only allowed to bark, not bite

Running after the "bad guy"

Dragon in "action"

He is doing this part very well

On command he lets go very quickly
