V-Jory von der Grone was the Young Dog Sieger in 1972 and continued to appear in pwedigrees through his son Arras von der Grueber Hoelle(who was also the sire of Lissi vom Hermannsgrund. making her linebred 3-2 on Mutz).

Jonny von der Rheinhalle had a litter brother Jalk, who was VA-rated in 1974 and 1975. But as it often happens, Jalk did not produce anything note worthy, while Jonny was born on Mutz’s legacy.

Jonny eas born on MArch 17, 1970 and connected the Mutz line to the line of Vello zu den Sieben Faulen. He was linebred 4-4 on both Hein vom Richterbach and Alf vom Nordfelsen. Due to dental regulations (he had a double P-1), he was unable to receive a VA-rating and placed V-1 in Munich in 1973. Jonny is described as large strong, good type, high withers and strong back. His upper arm and croup were slightly steep. His movement and temperament were outstanding. He generally carried on the attributes of Mutz, but also produced weak ears and paling pigment. Jonny von der Rheinhalle is the most influental progeny of the Mutz-line and produced some important sons and daughters: His daughter lna vom Streithahn produced the foundation female for the kennel “von der Steinhaegerquelle”, V-Grit von der froehlichen Morgensonne. She is representated in almost all the Steinhaegerquelle-dogs pedigree. V-Lump vom Osterberger Land appears in some important Fourniemuehlenbach-dogs, like VA-Hardy.

VA-Gauner vom Gruendel is found in VA-Enzo von der Burg Aliso on his mother’s side through VA-Dax vom Kopenkamp and V-Jan von den Paderquellen). V-Kuno vom Weidtweg produced the N-litter “von der Wienerau” (Nick, Narro, Natz etc.), born on May 28, 1976 by the Canto von der Wienerau-daughter, Flora vom Koenigsbruch. Nick went on to be a predominant producer i Germany, although he died relatively young, as he was found poisoned in his owner’s kennel (vom Hischel). It is through Nick, that the Mutz-line is immortatalized in our GSD. He is the sire of the famous P-litter “vom Wildsteiger Land” (Palme, Perle), his daughter Jona is the foundation line for the Kennel “vom Fiemereck”. V-Cora von der Michaelswiese was bred to him 3 times (K-, N-, and V-litter “von der Michaelswiese produced VA-Fando vom Suedblick.

Another sone of Jonny is also immortalized in our pedigrees: VA-Jupp von der Haller Farm. He produced VA-Puetz von Arjakjo, who was sold into the U.S. after producing son VA-Karo vom Asbacher Land and the famous V-Dax von der Wienerau (dam: Flora vom Koenigsbruch).

VA Fando v Sudblick

From some VA groups you see years later no progeny who can continue the sire line, only a few, but what happens to the other VA,s? Some don’t brong a stunning successor

And sometimes, people think a particular dog should have been in the VA line-up for example he is under the first 20 in last year youth/young class, so its a good one, it is a breed contest the judge has to look at the bloodline, will it fit with the topdogs lines, does he have the good character? and a line where we can expect something?

Now we have the domination of the Ursus line (line bred 3-3 Odin !!! some do forget this.

The judge H Scheerer, in year 2005 at the Siegerschau in Ulm He took a young dog in the VA Dux Quatro Flores a Hill Farbenspiel son, in his comment he said he would not wait for other good sons, (if they come).

To take one in the VA, the Hill line is important and Dux is a nice and a good dog so he hopes the line will go on. Also the last VA: Nando Gollerweiher(his father has a line to Fando) if you look at him you can maybe critique this or that, but overall a fantastic dog, so too a good choice, so it should be, its also the quality of the judge to SEE what dogs/line to take in the VA line-up

In the year 1985 become Eike Kirschental Junghunsieger sg 1 and Fando Sudblick sg 2, 2 nice types, judged by J Kesekamp. Of course Eiko as a Uran son and owned by M Goebl became VA in 1986. Fando in 1986 was V22! The next year 1987 Fando went to Arnold Meier in Bremen Eiko was still VA and Fando was V2, and for many he was in 1987 better then the most Va,s and finally in in 1988 and 1989, H Martin took him in the VA (eiko was 3 years in front with mating the best females)

Why Fando v Sudblick?

A dog with a fantastic pigment and coat, and expression, real 64 cm. good temperament, he was shown in Austria, Belgium etc on the Nationals, allways good courage tests, he had a very talented brother (other type) and sister who were never shown, his fantastic bloodline, was (now) so useful. He had a very good forehand and was very correct in front, one could say he could have more hind angulation, but he was excellent in his gating with powerful hind thrust.

His father was Kim Michaelswiese (not so well known as his brother Nick. Nick vd Wienerau --- with a fatherline to the Mutz line!

His mopther Wiske v Sudblick was a very well pigmented bitch with good bones and coat a straight back and with normal angualations she was a V dog, she was a daughter of Xaver Arminius, and the Dutch champion Gonny Twebtebloed (who’s sister Granny was the mother of Putz Arjakjo VA)

Fando braught good doge, and his progery had very light/strong backs and a real good type. His best sons were VA Ajax Haller Osing, Lasso Haus Bablion and Yugo Michaelwiese all 3 with progery groups on the Siegerschau, and he had some nice VA daughters like Wenke Farbenspiel and Anusch Bierstadterhof.

As it seems, the Mutz-line is pretty much carried to nowadays lines through V-Nick von der Wienerasu (sire of VA-Palme and V-Palme grandsire of VA-Fando vorn Suedblick) and V-Dax von der Wienerau.

Dax von der Wienerau is the site of V-Dixie V.Tannenmeise, dam of Haesel and Helke. All breeders should be familiar with these two girls. Haesel is the dam of VA-Odin V. Tannenmeise (sire of VA-Zamb von der Wienerau and VA-jeck vom Noricum). Heike, the 1983 Young Dog Siegerin, produced the N-litter “v.Huize Hintdonk). By VA-Uran vom Wildsteiger Land. The only out standing son is VA-Natz vom Hasenborn, who was widely used but is mostly known for his famous son, V-Cello von der Romerau.

1)The (Mutz-) line is manifested in todays lines. The descendants of Palme vom Wildsteiger Land’s line carries Mutz through Nick von der Wienerau. The same goes for the motherline of VA-Odin v. Tannenmeise (Haesek-Dixie). And then there is Cello von der Romerau. A male descentant from his line being VA-Hill vom Farbenspeil, now represented by females, not the males, Unfortunately, a lot of people discount motherliness, which is a grave mistake.

2) The male representative of the Mutz-line is VA-Hill vom Farbenspiel and his sons VA-Dux de Cuatro Flores and V-Andrijuscha van Noort., V Hannibal steglerhof, V hillson V athaba, the top breeders recognize this important sire line and will keep on breeding tom these lines, one of the best opportunities to preserve a bit of Mutz through his important Gollerweigher, Nando would be linebred on VA-Fando if linebreedings were counted past the 5th generation (4-6). In addition he also carries Mutz through Cello in his motherline. Nando produces good character and movement. But one has to be careful about his front which is not absolutely correct and size. As he produces over size offspring.

It really saddens that VA-Fando is not represented more often now. Every breeder should have goals in mind, one being the preservation of the working character, Using the descentants of the Mutz-line is great tool to do so

Mutz is found in many of the working dogs today as well.

Grando v schloss Veitenstein’s sire, Hero kleinen Pfahl’s dam was V assie v Klenen Pfhal.. a littermate to Anderl. Grando was the sire of 1990 BSP winner Brix Kapfwald, Alice’s sire, and can be found in many pedigrees today. Yes, as I had mentioned before, Mutz is represented in workinlines as well through his decendants of the A-litter “vom kleinen Pfahl”. Back then, the division between workinglines and showlines had not taken place yet. Hat mutz is in many workingdogs pedigrees I almost logical, but there are not males who have a direct paternal line to him, maybe a exception on this is

The V male Lump v Osterbergerland, he was a important Johnny son, he was he was not in his type at all (color), he was as his litterbrother Lex almost black, their courage tests were stunning ate the Siegerschau, Lump was a big dog and became a good sire with a direct line in the working scene, over Amigo Gronendamm, to Kim Werseufer(all almost black) a good dog who is in many working dogs pedigree today.

Johnny Reinhalle V1 -------------- Erl trappen berg VA bennie Heideloh VA

Jupp Hallerfarm VA ----------- comments on him were he gave deep hind angulation, in type and expression better than his father, over years represented with very good progeny groups.

Natz hasanborn VA 2 and 4 times VA H. Martin said he would fit very good to Mutz blood cause his middle size. He has a very good croups and was very good angualated, as said he was middle size but was a real male.

His son…..

Cello vd Romerau the big son of the middle size VA dog Natz Hazenborn Cello was a fantastic dog with a very good movement and drive to run, he had 1 litter sister Cindy sp V, he was SG 2 at the Sieger in 86 Hamburg, in front of him Odin Tannenmeisem, Cellow was as said a big dog, his mother Quana was from the famous Q she was in type a bit different to Quina more the colour from cello, character wise he is better bred then the other lines, his father had a good character, many good sons and daughters he sired, and the influence from his mother was of course big, Atlas Bad Boll VA 2 was one of his sons, and Hoss Hasanborn VA 3 (normal size) and V1 Cim Ecknachtal who had bad luck that already 2 sons of Cello were in the VA, he was darker as his 2 half brothers. The big Enzo Romerau JHKL sg 1, Eros Luisenstrasse, and the one who impressed the most off all; panto Luisenstrasse, but….. The most saw Cello not as a representative from his father to Mutz breeders attribute his qualitys to the Q litter and for the conformation they may be right, but for sure his father the VA 2 gave his good part to his off spring too, he was a very stable dog with very good head and expression. Cello has over years very good progeny groupes, and we can say for sure Cello vd Romerau was one of the better sires in history.
