FC Audi Oslo von Dorndorf was WINNER of the Buckeye Invitational field trial today! WAY TO GO, Stan and Oslo!!! 20 of the best Field Champions in the country were competing, and this turned out to be a *nine* series field trial! Judges were Bill Dyer from Ohio, Jolanta Jeanneney from New York, Shawn Nies from Missouri, and Robert Schwalbe from Georgia. The trial was held on the grounds of the Buckeye Beagle Club in Dundee, Ohio.
Oslo went undefeated the first three series. He sustained his first defeat in the 4th series, braced with Bob Page's b/t mini smooth male Ruckus. The Buckeye Invitational is conducted in a different format than regular AKC field trials. In the Invitational, it's two defeats and you're out. Dogs with one or no defeats continue in competition... Oslo defeated his 5th series bracemate... Oslo defeated his 6th series bracemate... Oslo defeated his 7th series bracemate who was Bob Page's Ruckus. This was the first defeat of the day for Ruckus. At the end of seven series, there were three dachshunds 'still standing'. They were Oslo from Mississippi, Ruckus from Texas, and Carmen from New Jersey, a red mini wire bitch owned by John Merriman. All three dogs had sustained one defeat... Oslo was the only one that had not been a bye dog yet, so Oslo was bye dog in the 8th series... Ruckus defeated his 8th series bracemate Carmen... The 9th and final series, then, was Oslo running with Ruckus. Ruckus was the only dog who had defeated Oslo all day. Oslo was the only dog who had defeated Ruckus all day. You already know the result! C@NGRATULATI@NS to Stan & Oslo, Bob & Ruckus, and John & Carmen on your marvelous, persevering performances!!! Many thanks to Jolanta Jeanneney for the photos. At Sunday's Houston Dachshund Club field trial, Babe (see previous blog entry) was 3rd in the class of 6 Field Champion Bitches. Oslo, FC Audi Oslo von Dorndorf, was 3rd of 8 Field Champion Dogs. Babe is owned by Tina Knoll, Oslo is owned by Stan Knoll, both dogs were handled by Stan. Congratulations on a good weekend!
At Sunday's trial of the Madison Area Dachshund Club, Oslo placed 4th of 15 Field Champion Dogs while littermate Ochre placed 4th of 14 Field Champion Bitches! Oslo is owned and handled by Stan Knoll, Ochre is owned and handled by Laura Knoll. Congratulations!
A zuchtschau (breeder's show) of the North American Teckel Club was held today in Loves Park, Illinois. Our judge was Andreas Tornau from Germany. I found Mr Tornau professional yet fun in his demeanor, informative yet succinct in his commmentary, and strict yet fair in his judgements. I enjoyed the day and I know others did, too! The primary purpose of a zuchtschau is for dogs to be evaluated by a DTK judge so they may receive an official conformation rating. A rating of Vorzuglich (Excellent) or Sehr Gut (Very Good) is required for a dog to be used for breeding in the DTK system. People not breeding in the DTK system, however, may still show dogs for ratings. It is an informative experience to show to a judge from the country of origin of the dachshund; it serves to broaden perspective. It is also fun! My FC Alpine Owl von Dorndorf was rated Vorzuglich (Excellent) which means he is now V rated x 4. Maxine Brinker's 14 month old Sage v Dorndorf L receieved an SG (Very Good) rating because she is presently way out of coat. But Maxine was so happy that the judge liked her Nutmeg that she hardly noticed! (Nutmeg is spayed so she did not receive a rating.) Tina Knoll's FC Bob's Babe von Knobydox was rated SG for the very same reason. The Germans are strict on coat. They are strict on a number of things about which we are rather lenient. And they are rather lenient on some other things about which we are more strict. Like I said, it is an interesting and educational experience to show to a judge from Germany. It tends to tweak the mindset. Following is a video of Stan Knoll in the ring with his six year old FC Audi Oslo von Dorndorf. This is their first time in the conformation ring together. I showed Oslo at a zuchtschau one time a few years ago where he was rated SG because he weighed half a pound over 22 pounds, the weight limit for a V rating. Today, Oslo weighed 9.5 kg which is 21 pounds. We figure that a weekend of field trials before Oslo's weigh-in today must have been a good thing! He showed well for Stan. Before I began recording, Oslo had been on the table you'll see on the right side of the screen. He was weighed on the digital scale, his chest was measured, he was briefly examined for two testicles, and thoroughly examined for all his teeth and for no malformations of his bite or of any of the vertebrae in his tail. Beginning this year, the DTK (of which NATC is a member club) also requires each dog to undergo a basic temperament test. First, the judge pays close attention to the dog's behavior during examination on the table. Then after the dog has been shown, it's reaction to the loud noise of metal hitting metal - dog off lead - is observed. NATC's zuchtschau guidelines tell us to remember that the dachshund is a hunting dog. Handlers' dress is casual and grooming of the dogs is minimal. There is no 'stacking' of the dogs, very little baiting, and dogs are shown in a variety of leads and collars, including flat buckle collars. Nothing fancy, this is all about the dogs. Here's Stan and Oslo. They have already gone around the ring a few times. This clip begins after about a third of their time in the ring. Badger Dachshund Club Field Trial
