What a beautiful type, Zambo pedigree has Jeck von Noricum every where, Till this thread I never heared about Jeck producing outstanding work ability, on the other hand Jeck is in almost all showline GSDs, I am not sure if Jeck really makes a true a pattern like Ulk does. I believe we should hear more from the well informed about this interesting Jeck von Noricum.
What about Zambo, any one knows this dog, his breeder, seen him work, he is a very young dog with future ahead of him, any one knows about the siblings?
Loneluft, you kep this thread interesting, alive and mind scatcher, thank you. In your tone there is a positive challenge I wish some one rises up to it.

Thank you for your questions about Zambo vom Riedschlurgi. I am the owner and handler of Zambo. His breeder is Petra Lumpe in Lahr, Germany. Zambo's littermate sister Zora was SG4 in the JHKLH class at the BSZS in 2009, and his full brother Sirk vom Holtkamper Hof was SG19 in the 2008 BSZS.
Zambo and I competed at the WDA Nationals at the beginning of the month. Although the trial did not go as well as we had hoped - he failed tracking - Zambo did well in the stadium, earning 87 in obedience and 86 in protection. Today Zambo won the WDA National Universal Sieger competition with scores of 92-96-85 and he was V1 in the conformation show. We will go to Austria for the WUSV Universal Sieger Championships at the end of June.
It is indeed the beginning of Zambo's career - he is only 3 years old - and I am having a great time training and trialing with him. I bought Zambo as a puppy, and he is my first dog. I have been fortunate to train with some of the best trainers and helpers in the country.

Congratulations to all the Universal Qualifiers!
Since you guys are here; can you write a little about what it takes to go all the way to this level for those that are thinking about giving it a try?

Randy,
As many on these pages are all too aware, it takes hundreds leading to thousands of hours to properly prepare a dog for higher level competition; but that is not nearly enough. What it absolutely takes beyond the aforementioned dedication of time is club, club, club; and, I'm not talking about the proverbial "seal bashing" kind.
There isn't a single top level competitor in the history of our sport who did it themselves without the benefit of a supporting organization and quality helper work. For most of us in the sport, that means the additional requirement of quality training helper work.
I am very fortunate to have an exceedingly supportive club in Hundesport Alaska and their training directors Shaun and Bridget Lytle. They allow me the flexibility to sometimes train in methods outside of their "system" and the additional time and guidance required to prepare for "beyond club level" competition and travel.
My home club and I are additionally most fortunate for the high level excellence in training provided by Mark and Ann Marie Chaffin and High Plains Schutzhund. The leap from a good or very good club to one that could prepare a competitor for the podium is quantum. The Chaffins have allowed me many, many months with them to hopefully ingrain not only how to compete well with my current dog but hopefully highly with the next.
Mark Chaffin is a teaching/training helper who has never received his "proper" due. His first love is preparing others to succeed and even to this day that priority often infringes upon his own preparation with his current world class capable dog. Of course, I benefit from that and cannot express enough my appreciation for Mark's dedication to me and others in the sport to the detriment of himself. I have had the privilege of seeing and/or working with several top notch, "name," trainers who's work I would one day like to emulate; but even among them, Mark's ability is uncanny. I admire him greatly.
This is a shameless plug, but I am going to do it anyway. Many, many competitors have traded the fame they acquired by reaching the podium into dollars from training videos. Some are quite good; others are not. But, I have yet to see a series that even approaches the usefulness both to clubs and individuals of those the Chaffin's are accumulating at topschutzhundtraining.com. The raw footage and narration is a glimpse into the gist of Randy's question "what does it take." What is most beneficial is that it presents the "whole picture" of training required for higher level success that I assure you the "big name" producers of these videos are leaving out.
I understand that Erin and Zambo have been fortunate to have access to high quality work and guidance as well. What was his name again???? If I remember correctly, you're training direction comes from a "somewhat" accomplished gentleman in our sport. What was his name, again? Geez, just can't quite recall it... :)
That "it takes a village" in this sport may be cliche, but it is oh, so accurate...

Kevin,
I'm like many enthusiasts across the country. I want a dog that does it all. I searched the internet and found the best website. It has a top, supreme, ultimate, puppy suitable for schutzhund, SAR, watching and protecting the kids, doing their homework and the laundry while they are at school.
This breeder breeds for the total dog according to their website. Both parents are titled so we know this pup can do it. They has just the right puppy for me. It's just the type of dog to do this Universal competition according to the breeder. Boy was I lucky!
What are my chances of making it to the Universal with this pup?
