Cobra's story;

Born September 16, 2003 in Niederalteich, Germany along the Danube River in the District of Deggendorf, Lower Bavaria. Niederalteich is one of the oldest (731 A.D.) original settlements in Bavaria and home of the oldest Benedictine Abbey in Old Bavaria.

November 2003: In Germany, Thomas Unholcer locates Cobra v. Niederalteich for us from breeder Walter Hundhammer. Harald Fraude is in Munich on IBM business. German IBM co-worker Nikolai von Dehn assists Harald to obtain Cobra. After a short visit to the Alps, Cobra flew 1st class to the USA on November 25, 2003 aboard Lufthansa flight 412.

Cobra's Ahnentafel: page-1 page-2.

I joined the VDD/GNA and purchased the VJP manual so that my son Seth (age 15) could train Cobra for the spring test.

April 25, 2004: Here is 1st time handler Seth (15) and Cobra (7 months) at the VJP test in Mifflinburg, PA. VJP Results

 

Next came the HZP manual so that my son Seth (age 15) could train Cobra for the fall test.

September 5, 2004: 1st time handler Seth (15) and Cobra (11.5 months) pass the 10-hour HZP test on a hot day in Jackson, NJ. HZP Results

 

September 2006: Cobra was bred to Bruno vom Eckenstein from Dwight Runkle's Büffeltaler kennel

November 5, 2006: Cobra welps 7 females and 5 male pups. The last pup didn't make it. Watch Cobra have a pup here.

 

Day 2: The tails are docked - see how Dr. Lang and Dr. McFee do it here.

Martin,
I was on your website and came across photos from the GNA newsletter at the June 2006 Breed show in Carlisle, PA. Included in these pages are photos of my dogs. I am asking you politely to immediately remove these pages from your website as my kennel and dogs are not associated with you or your kennel in any way, shape or form.

Please notify me when the photos are removed.
