No have never used Uri...but that does not stop me giving credit where its due...

Just reading the threads. I for one wish I had something direct from Uri. Beautiful dog, Fiona has done wonderful with him as she is doing with my female's mother Babette! Credit is given where credit is do and Amulree Kennels deserves lots of Credit. Isobel and Fiona do wonders! When I found Fiona had Babette I was more then pleased knowing she will be able to do wonderful work with Babs. She already has had great places with Babs and the 2 Bab daughters here in the states can move. Sadly 1 will not be shown or worked but would be very capable. She was shown in a puppy class back in June and Took VP 6 and my Female Rooh took VP4... both with NO ring training. My female Rooh is nearly 1 year old and has just started her obedience and tracking but if you put her in the ring her she presents herself very well, head held high. She has had no ring training, she is rich red and black good pigments and full of energy and drive. She is my first show-line female and I couldn't be happie knowing she has the Famous Amulree kennel in the background and above all Uri!

thank you Jozolli, I await Taz and spectators replies. I also understand that Uri was available to UK breeders as his owners were willing to bring him over to Dover for agreed matings. He is a superb male and should have been place much higher in his German Sieger appearances.

Shinto - as a relatively new breeder (though I was associated with another kennel from the late 80s) I have NOT used Uri - but wish I had, even now, a suitable female to take to him.
I have his half brother in my kennel - Zorro Amulree, whom I have used on two females. I have two Amulree females in the kennel from his mother line Amulree yazz also.
Fiona and Isobel Anderson are good friends of ours and I have had the opportuninty to see much of Uri's influence - Im sure I have said before on this database, if I could have taken any one of their excellent females from them it would have been his excellent, hugely typical daughter ASPARKY. Tho his grandaughter Babette was hard to overlook!
Asparkys worth as a brood will be evident in the near future I am sure.
With regards to who has used him - I believe he never stood at stud in the UK so pet passport would have been required - and for many people the lure of high rated germans would have left Uri overlooked. He has done his fair share however.

I have a daughter by " Uri " in my kennel she is an excellent female in contstruction , character and her movement is truly outstanding . She has also produced some excellent progeny of her own , giving credit to the dogs used but very strongly due to the Amulree line. Many of the top kennels in the uk today owe some of their sucess to this breeding.

I would be very interested to hear from taz, spectator and Jozolli whether they used Uri and about the resultant litter(s).
and if not why not?

Credit must be given to the Amulree kennels for their achievements in Europe..they have stuck with the same british female bloodline to produce the animals that have been successful europe...wonder if any other brit has been as successful with their original blood line..

No apology needed jozolli I'm not that precious lol, glad to see I have provided some light entertainment in the past too, as for shinto, shades of solo if I'm not mistaken.

Hi sparky, congratulations is due, I wasn,t suggesting that you wanted to do it all again with Uri, just wondered as I said if there was any truth in the rumour going around that he was coming over for a fixed period to mop up some of those CCs that nilo needed to beat heiko's record, anyway it's history now and I doubt if nilo's record will be beaten.

Well I would like to say that we had no intrest in going for British breed record again with Uri, only to make him a truly international Champion (Belgium & GB).
As for Heiko he will always be a top record dog as he is the only British breed record holder to have a great great grand son a VA and Sch3 kkl.Also he is in the pedigree's of the first 3 females winning the top class at last years first British seiger show. What more can you ask of a truly top class record holder.

And as an aside... yes Red Rum was around in Heikos day - as was Vorlich Amigus and later Langfaulds Amos.
Heiko was only shown until he was a little over 6 years old when unfortunately he died prematurely. I believe he tied twice with two different (heiko)sons (Tarik and Hassan) for top winning shepherd (Ch show 1st prizes) in the early 80s.
And back to Uri - I saw him in August last year - aged 9 and a half - still a most impressive male and a lovely mover.

Sorry spectator I did misunderstand you - and I didnt think you were getting at Nilo either. My apologies.
Shinto - have you just registered here to have a go at Spectator? If you try chatting to him about dogs you might find him quite interesting - if, at times a little mischievous!

spectators ideal shepherd.

who has any interest in what spectators 'ideal' shepherd is?

spectator - totally insignificant in the gsd breed - everywhere.

just like spectators comments - insignificant.

bye for now

Yes taz has got my drift, jozzoli either you misunderstand me or you are trying to cause mischief,I wasn't criticising the current breed record holder though he wasn't my ideal shepherd I could appreciate his qualities, it would have been much harder for Heiko to be displaced if Uri had spent a year here don't you agree ?, as for there being more CCs on offer in the past yes this was the case but I may be wrong but wasn't red rum around when heiko was being campaigned ?.

Correct me if I'm wrong..I think what spectator was saying.. if Uri had been campaigned over in the UK he would have been the dog to take the majority of the CCs that would mean Nilo would not have gained as many..

Interesting comment from you spectator - has me confused. 'Protect Heiko's record'? This of course is no longer Heiko's record - it was taken off of him by Ch Gayvilles Nilo - so Uri would have to 'regain' the record for Amulree. However - I would think the financial implications of Uri coming to the UK for 52 shows would be a bit much for the owners. He could of course have been left with friends (tho I cant see Fiona managing that wrench) but why chase a record in the UK with a dog who has achieved so much abroad. How difficult for a dog with even a hint of UK lineage to attain a VA grade in Holland, V15 in germany - a spectacular feat, and get ANY useage at stud. Uri pretty much a record breaker in his own right I would have thought.
Since we're on the subject - hats off to Nilo for attaining that record too. I believe there were FAR fewer tickets on offer annually in his day when compared to Heiko's career.
Three great dogs spectator. I love a good chinwag!

I didn't see him as a young dog though what impressed me most was his superb movement, there were rumours in the uk a few years back that he was going to be campaigned here to protect heiko's record, though not sure if there was any truth in that or if it was just gossip ?.

Uri also sired Amulree Kelly at Chiara - 2 CC's in the UK

Uri was not used as much as normal V15 dogs as he always stayed in Belgium.
But he has sired 3 VAs
Xitte v Paulushof
Yeti v Alten kastanienbaum
Fero v Messebau
also GB Seigerine 2005 is a grandaughter of him Babette v Louwerhoeve.
Res CC winner Asparky v Amulree

Super male, has he produced his own type ?, a genuine question as I haven't seen much of his progeny.

Puppies available from what is probably Uri's last litter. Show quality pups available direct from his breeder. Female line Fritz Farbenspiel and Esko DanischenHof.
