Ulm next German VA;'s...who will they be ?? - Page 2

What about the new rules that state a male must present a progeny group, as well as have Hips and Elbows x-rayed before inclusion in the VA group? Will it be brought in this year, if so, then that precludes a number of animals from the VA group as they are not old enough to present a progeny group. Does anyone know when this new rule comes into being?

Talking only of the race for Sieger. I have posted earlier, the chances of Erasmus van Noort going VA1. Apart from his evident Anatomie, he is one male who has proven himself with very good progeney as well. Along with his brother Esto, He has proven the strength of his bloodline. It is through this son most beleive that the blood of Ursus through Yasko will be carried forth long after Ursus. As it has been writen time and again, it is also the family his mother comes from, Nero Hirschel to Enja van Noort to the beautiful and top producing Alke van Noort, Without a question of a doubt Erasmus is most deserving to be crowned Champion. Another male who apparently was never in the race for Sieger, but will leave an indelible impression for generations to come is Quantum von Arminius. Pronounced masculinity the hall mark of this Male among Males is a virtue which was almost lost! It is hoped Zamp vom Thermodos will keep his nerves getting through the bite work and stake his claim at VA1 if not his year definately next. Once again the breeding of Zamp vom Thermodos shows the quality of his Family, apart from him, his brother Zasko vom Thermodos has been produceing extremely well. Both dogs with evident top Anatomie.

Just to confirm that the new rules apply this year so certain younger animals with less than 15 progeny will not be able to be VA this year. For my money Erasmus will be VA1

Is Larus out of the race? Does any new dog have a chance?
