Kenzo's Fathers: I Am A Newfoundland

Sparked by Min Inches, we embarked on a small genealogy project of our own to find Kenzo's roots. Together with the registry of the Danish Kennel Club and working-dog.eu, this is what we found out of on Kenzo's father's side.

Kenzo's father was "Odin", or by his official name, "Chaccomo vom Bohrertal", and we were so happy to have meet him once. Odin was a Danish champion and he only had one litter. Following the direct line from father to father, we found our "Adam": Markus, a 100% Newfoundland!

The thing is, if you have a Hovawart and would like to try this with your own dog, you probably end up with Markus as well, as Castor Meyer-Busch is the first "real" Hovawart most of us descend from. Before Castor you will find different mixes of Newfoundland, German Shepherd dogs and the so-called type dogs - the "Hofewart" - the breeders found on farms, resembling their ideal of a Hovawart.

I hope, if one of the people with vast Hovawart databases read this, they could provide me with photo's of some of the ancestors of which I have none.

Coming up, what about Kenzo's mother's line?

  2. Oh neat! I haven't followed Elka's lines back nearly so far. Maybe I should!


    (I confess, when I read the thread title, I wondered if this was going to be like Kennedy's "Ich bein ein Berliner" speech")

  3. Wow, great post! It looks like an interesting project. Our (possibly or impossibly 100%) Labrador "P." came from the Humane Society. They told us her father was a rolling stone. Her mother well, she just couldn't resist a handsome face.
    We'll always love P. anywhere her lines came from. She's our little rebel-girl for all her life.

  4. This is so cool! I love the family tree and think it's pretty awesome you were able to find all of his relatives.

  5. How cool is that? Too bad that there was no picture for Markus.

  6. Wow! I only have our puppies mom - no more. And with Blue, we have nothing; I look at him and wonder where his siblings are. He's an amazing puppy, I bet his siblings are too.

  7. Indeed, tracing back our Boef's pedigree on Working-dog.eu results in the same Markus - Newfoundlander. Amazing, will document it in detail during the holidays.
