My deepest sympathy to Nicos. Because her VA dog got second place at a show behind Dasko von Arlett, under one of the most prestigious SV Judges who has judged at the German World Sieger Show, Nicos has gone on a rampant rage, launching libelous attacks on every one: the Universal Sieger; the handler; the Judge; and the owners. Dasko von Arlett's distinguished record speaks for itself, and nothing Nicos says can affect that. Indeed, I agree with earlier people who reacted to Nicos: every great dog has his detractors.

Nicos has been consistent in using foul and inflammatory language and carrying out vendettas against other top dogs, impinging the integrity of judges, and making all sorts of false and incorrect accusations. See, for example, the low moral levels to which she sinks in her user sent messages of October 31, 2004, November 1, 2004, and April 24 and 25, 2005. I have never seen such vitriolic acrimony or so much evident ignorance.

Nicos is so unknowledgeable that she does not realize how much ignorance she shows in her writing. For example:

1. Nicos refers to "confirmation" shows; there is no such thing. Nicos has yet to understand that the shows are "conformation" shows, because judges judge how close to the standard the dog is.

2. Nicos does not know that the GSDCA-WDA Universal Sieger Show is a national show like the Sieger Show, but a much more demanding one. It requires the dog to go through a full SchH 3 Trial and through a Conformation Show in one weekend. It thus places extreme demands on the dog. Very few dogs have the stamina, training, endurance, and structure to meet such a challenge. Other dogs that competed for the title of Universal Sieger at the show, where Dasko earned the title, failed, and others did not even enter the working phase.

3. Nicos was at the Universal Sieger Show, where Dasko earned his title, with her dog, but did not enter him for obvious reasons. If it were so easy to become Universal Sieger, why did Nicos not dare enter her dog?

One word of advice to Nicos: learn from Dasko's owners. Enjoy and love your dog for what he is, and follow their example of congratulating the winners at shows. I have never heard Dasko's owners bad mouth other dogs. They did not buy from Germany a titled dog, like you did to nourish your ego. They bought a puppy, as a pet, and had fun titling him. You have no idea what it takes in terms of dedication, devotion, and time to title a dog yourself. If you had worked with your dog, instead of just parading him, you would have probably bonded with him, loved him even if he did not win a show to satisfy your arrogance, and learnt what sportsmanship is all about.

Nicos: you are a sore loser and you should be ashamed of yourself. Given your unethical attacks on World Sieger Larus von Batu and the SV Judge at the World Sieger Show, Universal Sieger Dasko von Arlett is in good company.

May God give Nicos peace of mind and bless her soul.

DINO try not to take up all the space on this site.
Look accept the fact that this is a SIMPLE DOG. He is a nice Pet leave it at that.
Like I said you can't list his Show record because he does not have one. We do not "parade dogs" we show them if they are good enough that is.

One can only have pity on Nicos.

She has gone into a vindictive rage because her VA dog placed in second place behind Universal Sieger Dasko von Arlett, under one of the most prestigious SV Judges who has judged at the World Sieger Show.

Like the witch looking into the mirror in Snow White, she cannot accept the fact that her dog is not "the prettiest of them all".

Her use of foul language, her vendettas, and her false accusations all over this forum have been leveled against every dog that has placed ahead of her dog. It is people like her that give the sport a bad name.

Her writings in this forum speak for themselves about her low moral character and ignorance.

She has a poisoned apple for every dog that placed ahead of her dog, and for every judge that did not give her dog the first place.

I pray that God will bestow on her peace of mind.

Sorry that the true story had to come out about this simple dog.
All you had to do is tell us the conformation record this "fantastic" dog has. You can't because there isn't one so all you can do is call me names.
Like I said this dog was the only male in the Universal Sieger Show (there was no other dog to give it too).
He can't move " you may want to X-ray his hips"!!
Save your money and all that space in the URMA book. Find another hobby for the old women -------- and spare us the bullshit OK.

I do know what a "conformation show" is and most of all what a conformation dog should look like.
Your dog has no distinguished record nor can he ever have one. What little he got was at one club under "very good friends" of yours.
The Judge you bought expensive gifts for was more then happy to help you and this sad dog with one closed eye get the v1.
This dog on a very good day could perhaps get the last of the V places. For most of us that know him he is a "SG dog".
His title of "Universal Sieger" is a total Joke and this should be well known.
His conformation record is also a joke. It is best not to "parade him" and have everyone see for themselves what he is.
Why has this "distinguished dog" that can place ahead of a VA male never been shown at any place other then one very small club?
What is fact hurts and so we hide the real story and publish big adds full of overinflated bullshit about a simple dog.

My what happened to the information about this male. Seven comments gone. Well perhaps someone is not happy. Lets hope they return.
Sorry I did not get a cahnce to see what Dino had to say.
Very average dog with pathetic show record. One of the most over rated dogs in the USA with the Universal Sieger Title that is a joke as he was the only dog going for it that year.

I am obviously one of the many avid admirers of Dasko von Arlett. I find him extremely harmonious and handsome, meeting the highest conformation standard. I was at a large show where the SV Judge completed his evaluation of Dasko by saying that Dasko was the most beautiful dog he had seen at the show -- in all classes! What a tribute! But Dasko is also a dog that has earned all his working titles in the US, having been imported as a puppy.

I have recently seen Dasko's progeny win at various conformation shows and working trials. Dasko seems to pass on his structure and working ability. This is not surprising, since his father, World Sieger Ulk von Arlett, produced two Universal Siegers: Lasso vom Kampchen in Germany and Dasko von Arlett in the US.

I had wanted to breed my female to Dasko, but I understand that Dasko has moved to France. Although it is a long way from North Carolina, I will take my female to France to breed to him.

The departure of Dasko is a big loss for the German Shepherd Dog breed in the US. This exceptional dog, a direct descendant of Uran, could have helped us improve the breed here, not only in terms of conformatiom, but, more importantly, in terms of working ability. I hope his progeny in the US carry on Dasko's line.

One last word of advice to Nicos: learn from Dasko's owners. Enjoy and love your dog for what he is, and follow their example of congratulating the winners at shows.

There is nothing special about a dog making a place ahead of a VA male when the place was bought at a show with three males in the ring.
If you had the Judge stay at your home and bought him special gifts ----------then perhaps even your pet may make a nice place.
This dog can't be shown not because his owners do not care but because he is a very average Ulk son. If he was to be in a Sieger Show we would all see his real placement.
The VA male he placed ahead of should never have been behind this dog but crazy things happen to nice people.

Could the detractors' remarks be from owners of VA dogs that were placed behind this wonderful dog by highly respected SV Koermeisters at the conformation shows in which Dasko participated? Or by owners of dogs that placed behind Dasko's progeny?
NOPE, NOT HERE...ALL WORKING LINE OWNER HERE.

I guess we should get some responses to this, along the following lines:

Well, every great dog has its detractors. I have seen Dasko von Arlett, and he has a great working temperament and exceptional conformation. At several conformation shows, under different SV Conformation Judges, he placed well ahead of various VA dogs. Dasko is the son of one of the most important sons of the Uran line, World Sieger Ulk von Arlett. His owners have him as a pet in the house, and pamper him. His success is all the more remarkable in that they have not been running around with him from show to show all over the United States. They are not breeders, and have not been after the trophies. Even so, Dasko's progeny have placed very highly at various shows, with one of his sons placing in first place in his class in a recent USA Regional Show. Could the detractors' remarks be from owners of VA dogs that were placed behind this wonderful dog by highly respected SV Koermeisters at the conformation shows in which Dasko participated? Or by owners of dogs that placed behind Dasko's progeny?

I also find it strange too. If you go to the owner's website: http://daskovonarlett.com/htmlfiles/Dialogue.htm,
you'll find that Dasko has only competed under Hardy Ernsting and no other show.
I have met Dasko and his owners, they all are very nice, but a dog is not a true title holder unless it can go to other fields and such and gain it's titles that way.
All in all, oh well...this is how SOME of the SchH dog owners do their thing.

The Universal Sieger Status of this male is something of a joke!
He was the only dog that ran for this title at this show. The rest of the males were only in the Confirmation part of the Show and so they could not give this Title. He was the only dog that did the working requirement and in the show itself there were perhaps 6 dogs at best.
Ok he can work but as for his confirmation and movement well lets just say he leaves much to be desired.
As a young dog he made a G at the USA Sieger Show. As an Adult he has made V with much help at very small shows with Top German Handlers and Judges that close the owner.
It is no accident that we have never seen him at a USA or WDA Sieger Show.
Ok he is a nice dog but a normal dog with with a less then normal show history.
