Message from the President
Doberman(n) Worldview
Our members have made us all proud to own Dobermanns. We sent Wendy Schmitt and Victoria Hall to the
IDC this year and they did an excellent job of representing us.
Treasure Seeker Dobermans
As soon as they got back Victoria put on a very nice Fall
Classic in Pomona CA. She’s like the Energizer Bunny!
The trial was well run and the helpers’ protection work was
very nice. Jeff Helsdon, president of the DPCA, was there
supporting us as he always does. Thank you, Jeff. He went
to bat for us and got us a great venue.
Our 2014 National will be held on the west coast next
Spring. Erynn Lucas from the Central Valley Club in the
Sacramento area put in the bid and has exciting plans.
There have been a lot of requests for a left coast National. I
hope everyone can come and make it the best one yet.
The updates on our
manuals are nearing
completion. We are
considering a supplemental FOCUS issue to
distribute this information to the membership.
Beth Bishop is preparing a member survey to
send out to all members
in order to get your input for the coming year.
I urge everyone to respond.
On a personal note, thank you to all for your kind words
and condolences on my loss of my Jett-Jett, UDC/ADA
Ch. Tahi-Reme Gloria ZTP-V1b, SchHIII, IPOIII.
One Dobermann for all,
Patrick O’Connor, UDC President
Message from the Editor
This issue marks the end
of a second year of on-time
Focus issues. The increase in
advertising revenue has been
gratifying to say the least.
I know many members would
like all issues to be printed
issues. Unfortunately today’s
costs for printing and mailing
make that impossible unless members are willing to
pay much higher advertising
prices. As it is, because of
little advertising support of
non-print issues, the UDC is

electronic is a very sensible
thing for the club to do. It eliminates printing and mailing
costs, which are several thousand dollars per printed issue.
But if advertising is not going to support those issues, they
must be pared down. I encourage members to try advertising in the electronic issues, it’s inexpensive and a great way
to share recent accomplishments.
On a personal note, I am thrilled to say that Cala is still
with me, and for now at least still able to compete in one
last sport, Barn Hunt. She has spondylosis but is otherwise
healthy and as contrary as ever. More and more, I wonder
why it should be such an exceptional event for a Doberman
to live past 10, when so many of my friends have dogs of
similar size/type who are healthy well up into their teens.
Prior to now, I have refrained from writing a true Editorial
piece for the magazine, but now I feel it is time.
Our unique and amazing breed is facing a crisis. Since my
entry in the breed in 1982, I have seen an alarming downturn; not only in health and longevity, but temperament
and functional structure. Many people, including myself,
are turning to alternate, healthier breeds. Putting years of
love, training, and conditioning into a dog only to have to
retire that dog early or have it die young is heartbreaking.
I believe this breed is on the brink of failure as a breed.
NOTHING is more important than preserving the Doberman. If we do not address the health, longevity, temperament, and structural issues facing this breed openly and
truthfully, I truly believe the Doberman as we used to know
it will be fundamentally extinct within a generation. Working and Conformation breeders, proponents of American
and European bloodlines, all have an important contributing role to play. Rescuing the breed should be our first and
only true priority, and all else should unfold from that. Let’s
look forward and make it happen.
Best wishes to you all in 2014.

Got Dobe? Got toy drive? Got pool?

ock diving is a fantastic sport that builds extreme
confidence and a sense of teamwork with your dog. It’s
a sport that has a close-knit network of people who help,
encourage, and cheer each other on to greatness – even
your competitors root you on! I am proud to be part of
this amazing world, and I’m so passionate about the sport.
Happy diving!
I began diving with my Doberman Summer a little more
than a year and a half ago. I was introduced to dock diving
when a close friend of mine, who is heavily involved in the
sport, was competing and I went to watch. My natural attraction to water and love of swimming lured me in.
Summer and I began training at Alpha K9 University in
Fishers, Indiana. Alpha K9 is a large facility with a 32-foot
dock, a 40-foot pool, and a one-of-a-kind puppy dock. The
puppy dock is only about 5 inches over the pool and is
designed to build confidence in the dog or puppy that has
never dock dived before.
After viewing the facility at Alpha K9, Summer and I joined
a beginner class. We started on the puppy dock and within
a few one-hour sessions, my Dock Diving Diva was sailing
off the dock. Once she was confident on the puppy dock,
we moved to the competition side and began the process
again. Within an hour, she was flying off the competition
side.
Days of practice rolled into months of practice – we had
to get our throws and timing down perfectly. It’s a common assumption that dock diving is as easy as tossing a
toy in the pool and the dog jumping in to retrieve it; think
again. The sport involves timing, positioning, and finding
the dogs “sweet spot” on the dock. If you start too far back
and the dog takes off the end of the dock too early, it will
hurt how far of a jump you end up with. Leaving the dock
2 feet early will take a 21’ dive and turn it in to a 19’ dive.
Timing throws correctly and the dog’s location on the dock
are just as important as prey/toy drive.
by Diane Linstrom
we were used to. In the training facility, it was a fairly quiet
indoor area with a minimal amount of people and dogs.
In this competition, kids were hanging on the pool edge,
splashing and yelling – something Summer had never
experienced before. I brought Summer out for a short
practice session before our competition. She nailed it! Her
total focus was on that toy and our work at hand, and she
ignored the distractions around her. I felt great about our
first experience in a real competition.
The next morning, it was time to compete. Summer and I
hit the dock, and she hit the water with a 16’10” dive. Remember when I said it was all about timing and positioning
on the dock? Well, we trained on a 32’ dock but a regulation dock is 40’. We hit our sweet spot at 32’, so why did I
think it was OK to sit her at the end of 40’? Because I was
a nervous wreck! My dog felt my nervousness. She still had
a respectable dive, but it was not the dive I was used to.
For her next dives, I shortened us up on the dock to 32’.
Summer and I won our next wave in Master division with a
21’2” dive, and we were invited to finals. We placed second
in Big Air finals with a 21’7” dive.
We have been to several competitions now. I am no longer
nervous on the dock since I’ve found our rhythm, and
we’ve placed each time. We have continued on to earn our
National Senior jumper title and have one more leg left to
earn our Regional Master Jumper title.
One of my most enjoyable moments is coming up the
ramp with my Dock Diving Diva Dobermann and hearing
the announcer introduce us: “Dobermanns are not typical
in the sport of dock diving.” That’s Summer’s cue to haul
nub down that dock and show the crowd how versatile a
Dobermann truly is. As the crowd claps with delight, one
of the best feelings in the world is hearing the announcer
exclaim, “… and that Dobermann can fly!”
We practiced our throws and found Summer’s spot on the
dock. Before we knew, it she was hitting Master Division
dives (21-23’). My trainer at Alpha K9, Keli Andrea, was
thrilled about how well Summer and I worked as a team.
Keli encouraged us to get out there and win!
I decided to try competing with Dock Dogs, one of the
largest dock diving organizations in the country. I found an
event in Missouri the third weekend of June, and off we
went to our first regional dock diving competition. When
Summer and I arrived, it wasn’t anything like I expected.
We were right in the middle of a farmers’ market in a
parking lot. There was a pool, a dock, lots of dogs, lots
of competitors, and lots of spectators. There were also
vendors, loud music, and announcers. This wasn’t what

How & when did you acquire this dog?
Tyndre is my fifth SAR dog. When I was looking for a
puppy, Sue Kelly-Walsh of Spokane, WA suggested the litter to me since it was out of her male Jim v Aurachgrund,

UDC FOCUS
Did you have any specific goals in mind
when you selected this dog?
Tyndre was always destined to be trained as a ‘live find’
dog only. Many experienced SAR dog trainers/handlers
have for years advocated training single purpose dogs.
Since my other SAR Dog Raksha’s Mmmmmystere, CD,
WAC, CGN (Parquetta) is trained for human remains only,
I had a need for a second dog to cover off that profile for
our team. My last SAR dog Wittrock’s Cascadian Tiger
(Retta) was cross trained for live and human remains and
like many other cross-trained SAR dogs worked very well.
However, now that I have single purpose dogs, I find this
approach is definitely advantageous.
Specific qualities sought in selection
process.
Together with a colleague in our organization – Search
& Rescue Dog Association of Alberta – we developed a
selection process for our SAR group. We used a couple of
different selection criteria from different sources and then
added our own adaptations based on our experience with
evaluating dogs for SAR work. Basically a successful SAR
dog should have a stable, confident temperament, low sound
sensitivity, willingness to work with people, medium prey
drive, but high hunt drive, and toy crazy. In Tyndre’s case,
she thinks all those who hide for her have her toy and will
play with her; therefore, she’s gung-ho to find them!
Future goals?
Tyndre has done well in her career so far with several
successful searches to her credit. She obtained her TD in
2012 and we have been exploring the world of trailing
lately however this is not a training profile that is used in
Canada at the moment, so there is going to be a lengthy
learning curve!

The 2013 United Doberman Club National
by Bonnie Guzman, Sport Doberman Club Colorado
A
fter a long absence, the Sport Doberman Club stepped
up to the plate and hosted the 2013 UDC Nationals.
Being a show chair was a first for me but we were able to
assemble an incredible team of dedicated Doberman folks
to get the job done.
We started early by getting a web site set up in order to get
the information out early. Many thanks to Jessica Ross! As
soon as we had info to be posted, it was done the same day.
Many long hours were spent sorting through show venues, IPO fields and determining what to have indoors and
outdoors. We have a lot of open space in Colorado but
unfortunately, it can be very difficult to find IPO fields that
are regulation sized and within a relatively reasonable drive
of Denver. We opted to have the trials on the fields owned
and maintained by Black Diamond Schutzhund Club. John
Hinderschott and Diane Yandrich could not have been
more helpful and easy to work with. They made this transaction so easy for us.
Denver is in a unique position to have an extraordinary
indoor facility devoted just to dog sport. It is called the
Denver Dog Sports Arena, conveniently located right on
I-70 in the central metro area. Obedience, rally, agility,
chiropractic, nose work, obedience and many other venue
practitioners rent out space at this facility every day. It is
state of the art facility with all the indoor creature comforts
needed for our event. Nancy Christensen and I toured the
facility and felt it would be perfect for the Nationals venue.
More to come on that later.
Since most/all of the members of the Sport Doberman
Club are also members of the Doberman Pinscher Club of
the Rocky Mountain Area, we sought to co sponsor some
events to draw more entries and also share the burden of
work and costs. We were able to offer a WAE as well as a
CGC sponsored by both clubs. We also shared the work on
providing food at the venues.
The host hotel, the Marriott Courtyard at Stapleton, was a
beautiful facility that made it simple to have a dog in your
room. All rooms were on the ground floor and had immediate access to nice green grassy dog walking areas via a
sliding glass door on each room. The hotel was wonderful
to work with.
Monday, April 22 was our meet and greet in the evening,
held at the hotel. Nancy’s room was the meeting spot and
somehow, we managed to get everybody squeezed in there
for treats and drinks. There were many old friends to revisit
with and many new people and new UDC members.
Because Colorado weather is so unpredictable, we are
always prepared for everything and Mother Nature did not

fail to show her power. For those of us staying in RV’s at
the arena site, we were met with severe cold, snow and
wind. Poor Irene and Dave Korotev sprung a leak in their
roof and had to stay indoors instead. Fortunately, the terrible weather was shortlived and the sun was back out in a
day or so.
Tuesday, the 23rd, was our first official day. We started
right in with the TT, done by Nancy. This was followed by
the first Conformation show which had to start a bit late
as our judge, Joyce Vanek, lives in the mountains and the
roads were still icy and snow covered. She made it! It was
Joyce’s first venture at a UDC event but she did a great job.
We had enough room for two rings to be set up so we
were able to have obedience start pretty much on time in
the next ring. Pat Maynard is a well known and very Dobie
friendly obedience judge and she did a great job walking
folks through the pattern.
Because of the arena size, we were able to have a separate
room just for CGC’s. Considering the snow on the ground
and the wind outside that day, we are mighty grateful we
were indoors for the CGC. Dustin Darnell is an experienced
CGC evaluator. Tim Cruser came along to help as well.
Lunch was informal and fortunately, INDOORS! Jon
Sander is a heck of a good cook and he made some great
chile for lunch, as well as having the option of chile dogs.
Nobody went hungry.
The end of the first day wound up with a wonderful and
comprehensive presentation of SAR dogs and how to
choose a SAR dog, presented by Irene Korotev. Irene
brings many years of SAR experience to the table and we
were very fortunate that she and Dave were willing to drive
all the way to Colorado and put up with our fickle weather.
The dogs performed a demo and did a great job.
Wednesday, the 24th, was supposed to be combination of
a seminar and health day but unfortunately, Health Day
had to be cancelled due to lack of participation. We were
very sad about that as we had every health test imaginable
lined up for the event.
Waine Singleton put on a fantastic seminar for Entry Level
Protection Dogs. We had some last minute add on dogs
and had a total participation of 13 dogs. There were some
younger pups there as well as dogs completely new to
protection sports. Waine is a gifted and talented individual
and clearly loves to teach. It was my first time meeting and
working with him but I now see why he is so popular. He
gives 1000% to anything he commits to. He also loves
working with Dobermans and sees how talented our breed
is in protection sport. Many thanks to Waine for a long and

Thursday evening was our banquet, silent auction and
AGM. We wanted to keep dinner simple and affordable and
we could not have made a better choice than La Mariposa
Restaurant, which was a stone’s throw from the host hotel. Once again, we had a wonderful UDC member, Marsha Sheppard, working behind the scenes to organize and
present an INCREDIBLE silent auction. There was a very
good selection of goodie bags with a variety of items, wonderful leather leashes, dog bedding and attire,some incredible sculpted pieces that many people were drooling over
to bid on. I think nearly everybody walked away with what
they really wanted and as a result, we were able to raise a
good amount of money to offset expenses.
The evening ended with a short AGM presented by our
president, Patrick O’Connor. Everybody was tired and I am
sure ready to roll into bed at the end of the night.

valuable day.
The day was not over, however. That evening, we were
presented an incredible lecture on Essential Elements, by
Sandra Murray. She has an extensive background in structure, movement, and form and was able to tailor part of
her presentation to specifically include the Doberman. This
seminar was open to the public and we did have some non
Doberman folks attend.
Thursday, April 25th was our second round of conformation and obedience. Fortunately, we now had sunny and
warmer weather so life was much easier taking doggies out
for relief time.
Friday, April 26th was another busy day. We started out
with two Breed Survey Advanced entries, evaluated by
Nancy. What would we do without Nancy? The evaluation
was assisted by then apprentice judge, Doug Matson. Both
entrants seemed pleased with the process and appear to
have learned from the experience.
Friday was also practice day for IPO entrants as well as the
BH eval. Jennifer Reid arrived and made it to the field on
time, thanks to Suzanne Belfiore. Amazingly, we had only
one BH entry.
Weather remained cooperative and the IPO entrants took
full advantage of practicing on the field as well as doing
some tracking at the sod farm. Once again, Waine made
Victoria Harris is a well known Doberman breeder and
judge. It is clear she appreciates each and every working dog
who enters in Conformation. Every entry brought a smile to
her face and she is always so gracious in her critiques.

himself available in any allowed way possible to ensure success of all participants.
Saturday morning, the 27th, started bright and early at the
sod farm. We had a total entry of 9 IPO dogs so we had a
full day ahead of us. As with all IPO trials, there is a lot of
tense waiting and fingers crossed for success. Not all dogs
qualified but we did have a high tracking score of 93.
Shortly thereafter, we started obedience followed by tracking. The weather was near perfect; not too hot, not too
cold at least for participants. Towards the end of the day,
things warmed up for our helper, Waine. He managed to
do protection on all 9 dogs with a minimum of breaks.
Jennifer Reid was just a wonderful and pleasurable judge to
work with. Her critiques were informative, consistent and
provided good feedback to the competitors.
We had a wonderful food vendor available for four hours;
the Tastery Truck. Nobody wanted for a good meal, gourmet style. They were a big hit.
Denise Wolfsen, of DenWolf Productions, is an experienced and seasoned dog show videographer and an IPO
competitor herself. She videorecorded every possible moment and made individual videos available for people who
participated, if interested. We also had a still photographer
available for part of the conformation/obedience venues.
Juanita Troyer, an experienced photographer and conformation person ( Irish Wolfhounds) gave of her time at no
charge. John Ross rose to the occasion as well and took
many additional great photos.
Behind the scenes that day, Jon and Nancy were busy getting the WAE area set up. Fortunately, the arena grounds
are large enough that we were able to use the fenced, back
parking lot for the WAE. Weather was starting to really
warm up and we now were in shorts and tank tops. Gotta
love Colorado weather.

Also, some special thanks to others who pitched in and
helped: Mike and Eva Gisseman for their extra help at the
show arena and their help with food, Stacia Gunderson
for helping at the AGM, Doug and Jacque Matson for
their take charge presence and for arranging the ribbons/
rosettes in perfect fashion (something I had forgotten to
delegate and didn’t feel competent doing myself, quite
frankly) and Doug’s wonderful IPO pictures, and Bettina
Cholewinski for providing gourmet desserts. Not to be forgotten couple more folks for phone consults and expertise:
Jim Toman, Lindsay David and Chris Rasmussen All three
were invaluable regarding strategy planning.
The week ended with lots of tired participants ready to make
their way home. The show committee was exhausted but we
expected that. It was all worthwhile. I think everybody had a
good time and came with great competitive spirit.
In the second ring, we had our second day of Obedience
with Sue Oviatt-Harris. Sue is a delightful and easy going
judge who put all entrants at ease. We all had a good time
whether we Q’d or not.
The WAE was judged by Eric Peterson. It was my first time
meeting him and I can say it was just sheer pleasure working with him. He is easy going, good humored but very
organized and detail oriented. We had a very good turnout
for the WAE. Thanks to all the participants.

worked tirelessly for months on this show: Sandi Atkinson (

BABY/PUPPY TEMPERAMENT TEST– NANCY CHRISTENSEN JUDGE
We knew it would be a challenge for some IPO competitors
to work on sparse sod in a high altitude arid climate as well
as perform on less than normal Kentucky Blue Grass fields.
We knew it could be done though because Colorado has a
number of very successful IPO trials every year. As with all
things in life, being mentally prepared, participating with
a positive attitude, and maintaining a sense of humor always results in success. We are happy that the 2013 UDC
Nationals were a success. Thanks for allowing us to host
this event.

he weekend of October 12th & 13th, 2013 the UDC
held their IPO 3 Fall Classic Championship trial in conjunction with the DPCA National in Pomona, Ca. on the
infield at the Sheraton Hotel & Fairplex. We had entries
from California, Arizona and Utah. Draw night was held
in the hotel on Friday evening the 11th. Each competitor received a Fall Classic logo t-shirt and a tote bag. The
tote bags had healthy dog treats in them courtesy of Terry
Fisk of Show and Sport (www.showandsport.com). The
American Motorcycle Association races were scheduled
for Saturday so we used that day for tracking off site. By 6
am on Sunday morning as promised by the hotel, the area
was clear of motorcycles and we had access to the very
nice grass infield for the obedience and protection portion
of the trial. Thank-you DPCA president Jeff Helsdon and
Ellen Hanley DPCA show chair for facilitating the hotel’s
compliance and cooperation. We had a number of dedicated people help out with making the Fall Classic a success.
Roca Sport donated a custom helper suit for each helper
while photographer Jowhar Karim of J.Karim Photography
was busy taking actions shots and portraits of our Dobermans. The use of the trial equipment was donated by the
Arizona Schutzhund Club. A big thank-you to our trial secretary Pat Murphy, our trophy coordinator Anne Conroy,
our donations coordinator Marie Miller, tracking coordina-
tor Linda Calamia, track
layer Steven Lemmer,
our superb helpers
Weston Kester and
Lionel Madden and our DVG judge, Ted Hartman. And a
huge thank-you to everyone who came out and supported
us, helped set up equipment and load up when everything
was all over. It was a super weekend!
The 2013 UDC IPO 3 Fall Classic Champion is Vicaral’s
Vesna iz Gratsiano, owned, trained and handled by Victoria Hall. Vesna won the championship with a very respectable 95 in tracking, 92 in obedience and 95p in protection
for a total of 282. Vesna is a dynamic girl who loves to
work all three phases but, her favorite part is to “get the
bad guy.” Vesna earned High in Trial, High OB, High Prot,
High Tracking, High HOT and Helper’s Choice. This was
Vesna’s grand finale; a super nice way to end her career
and retire to become a Mom.
Our other IPO 3 Championship competitors were:
Cara’s Hit Man Stasi v. Legacy owned, trained and handled
by Marsha Sheppard. Stasi is a young dog and Marsha is
a new IPO competitor. They struggled a bit in the tracking
but, their commitment to being a team was always apparent. Stasi passed the tracking phase with a 70 and went

One of the newer titles offered now is the IPO-VO and
Erynn Lucas from northern California trained and handled
her girl, Haida van het Wantij to a stunning 278 total score
with 99 in tracking, 85 in obedience and 94p in protection. The VO is an opportunity to get the dog and handler
used to the trial field experience and to see where the dog
needs work in preparation for the IPO 1.
The IPO 2 dog Cara’s Fedor Bas Rutten owned, trained
and handled by Steven Chavez had a nice tracking score
of 85, obedience score of 84 and an impressive 95p in
protection for a total of 264 earning his new IPO 2 title.
Looking forward to seeing a lot more of this boyo!

UDC FOCUS
I
am making this nomination posthumously, because,
in addition to being a loving and loyal friend and companion, HARM was Rick’s dedicated search partner for
many years, right up until the very end. Our beautiful and
beloved HARM was an exceptional search partner to Rick.
Rick obtained HARM from his breeder, Lisa Schuller, all
the way from Denmark. Rick wanted a puppy who would
be capable of following in his previous search partners’
pawprints by working successfully in both Search and
Schutzhund, so he was looking for an extremely peopleoriented, outgoing puppy with stable temperament,
excellent prey drive and superior work ethic. It was soon
apparent that HARM possessed not only the pedigree,
but all the inherent qualities Rick wanted in his new search
prospect.
HARM pretty much had two speeds … “full speed ahead”
and “asleep” … he had to be doing something all the time!
While Rick and HARM had fun working in Schutzhund,
HARM tended to have a bit too much fun in the protection
phase, so, to avoid conflict and confusion, Rick’s primary
focus with HARM was his SAR work. Rick was thrilled
when HARM was field-qualified for Wilderness Search with
German Shepherd Search Dogs of WA State in November
2005. Together Rick and HARM worked more than 40
official searches over a period of seven years, including
wilderness, water, cadaver and evidence searches. In addition, Rick and HARM represented GSSD at many Public
Relations events, including their favorite venue, the annual
Special Olympics events held at Joint Base Lewis McChord
in Olympia, WA.
HARM came to us “complete” with natural ears, tail and
dewclaws; we did have his tail docked and his dewclaws
removed after he arrived, but HARM became our first
experience with a natural ear puppy. We were amazed to
learn that we would actually have to tape his ears down for
a time, so we wouldn’t end up with a unique “flying nun”
look! As he matured, HARM’s very expressive natural ears
gave him a somewhat
“softer” facial expression that was especially appreciated by
the search and rescue
community.
We lost HARM very suddenly in 2012 to liver failure due
to cancer of the liver; he was diagnosed on Monday August
27, and he passed in his sleep on Saturday Sept 1. HARM
had just turned ten years old in March of 2012, and he had
never shown any signs of being sick until a couple of days
before he was diagnosed. We miss him so much. He lived
a long and healthy life until the very end. At least we were
all spared the pain and
stress of a long illness,
but we are still in shock
from losing him so suddenly and unexpectedly.

Victoria Hall
IDC Weltmeisterschaft, Italy 2013
By Victoria Hall & Wendy Schmitt, photos Victoria Hall
O
n May 25/26, 2013 Wendy Schmitt with Eiko vom
Landgraf and Victoria Hall with Vicaral’s Vesna iz
Gratsiano represented the UDC at the IDC IPO 3 World
Championship as the American Team in Somma Lombardo Italy. Our two American entries placed well competing
against the best IPO 3 competitors in the world. Eiko vom
Landgraf was 10th and Vicaral’s Vesna iz Gratsiano was
12th out of 43 competitor dogs. Both dogs are owner/
handler trained and Eiko is owner bred as well.
Going to a world event is not a spur of the moment decision. There is first of all, qualifying, then commitment,
fund raising, then constant training and preparation of the
dog, airline flight plans, housing arrangements abroad, dog
food considerations, training and acclimating overseas. It
works out better if you can have a team with a similar work
ethic and commitment to compete at the same level. Interestingly, both Eiko and Vesna earned their IPO 3’s at the
same regional competition and are only one week apart
in age. Eiko is one week older than Vesna. It seemed right
that they should go to Italy together. This is our story of
how we got to the 2013 IDC IPO 3 World Championship.
In May 2012 Wendy decided that she wanted to compete
at the world level in IPO at the 2013 IDC the following
year in Italy. She had to put the idea on the shelf as she
was called away to work for several months out of state.
During her out of state stint she was able to attend and win
the UDC Fall Classic on Sept 30th, 2012 with her very serious Eiko vom Landgraf. At that event she had the opportunity to watch Vicaral’s Vesna iz Gratsiano also compete
at the IPO 3 level and earn 2nd place. Wendy and Vesna’s
owner Victoria had a bit of time to get better acquainted.
When Wendy was finally able to get back to her home state
of California the first of Jan. 2013 she was able to start
planning to attend the IDC the following May. She thought
back to the Fall Classic and thought Vesna might be a nice
addition to the team and called Victoria and suggested to
her that Vesna should be a competitor at the IDC in Italy.
Victoria was flabbergasted! Then intrigued, then excited.
By God we were going to Italy! She and Wendy started
making plans, visiting about timing and frustrating over
the lack of information coming out of Italy. It is comforting
to know when you are aging a track that your teammate
Victoria Hall and Vesna (left) and Wendy Schmidtt and Eiko (right) represented the UDC in Italy.

in another state is also aging a track and will answer the
phone and commiserate with you over whatever you are
struggling with.
The training became a 6 day a week endeavor. Tracking on
imaginary grass (weeds)—we knew we needed to find grass
but, northern California’s grass was skimpy and Arizona
hadn’t grown any yet. Wendy was tracking in cemeteries
and Victoria was driving 55 miles to beginning growth
Bermuda fields. But, they persisted and eventually Wendy
had some grass and by the time her’s died off, Victoria’s
area grew. And still they didn’t know what the tracking
conditions in Italy would be. Well intentioned European
competitors offered advice that the conditions would be
sparse and dry. It “always had been before.” Yet, Italy was
experiencing an unusual amount of rain. It was going to be
anyone’s guess. Wendy & Victoria were guessing a lot taller
grass than anything they could find to train on.
Obedience and protection training was intense and constant.
They had to bring their obedience precision up to the highest level possible both in the routine and in the secondary
ob in the protection. Finding safe, strong and fast helpers
was a priority. Training helpers who could bring intensity
and pressure were an absolute necessity and traveling hours
to get to those helpers was just one more thing that had to
done. Wendy &Victoria knew the helpers in Italy would be
world championship level and it’s a good thing they trained
that way. As it turned out the front half helper had worked
the Malinois world championship the previous year. He was
fast, intense with hard stick hits and drives that pushed the
limits. Since training helpers and training fields are not free,
both teams incurred an amazing amount of expense but, the
preparation opportunities were worth it.
The trip was long (20+ hours) but, both dogs took it well
in stride. Travel like this is a huge challenge for our dogs
so, they needed to arrive in Italy a few days ahead of the
trial to allow Vesna and Eiko a chance to acclimate and
train. Upon arriving we found our villa, which was basically a large suite on a second floor and it was very nice. It
sported a lovely, large balcony, multiple sleeping areas for
the team and large bathroom. Sharing this villa was much
less expensive than hotel rooms and it had a great grass
area for the dogs. Vesna was the sweetheart girl for the
villa/hotel personnel. Every time they saw her they said
“bella Vesna” (beautiful Vesna) and ran to pet her. Italy
loves Dobermans and has a lot of them. We saw many
Doberman faces watching us from their fenced yards as we
walked and drove around the city. Vesna and Eiko were
welcome in the hotel dining room and at the breakfast buffet every day we were there.
The Italian officials and many other teams from around
the world welcomed us when we checked in and helped
us get our paperwork verified. Silvia, one of the secretaries was delighted to meet us. Many years before she had
owned a Doberman she dearly loved from the American
Cara kennel. She was excited to share her story with
Victoria, an American.
All the competitors were shared out with the many IPO
training clubs in the Somma Lombardo area. Silvia directed
us to a club that we shared with some of the members from
the Swedish and Spanish teams. The Italian dog clubs were
very welcoming; very nice people. The one we trained at
enjoyed sharing their strong Italian espresso. That was an
experience! It certainly cured any jet lag.
One of the proudest moments of our lives was entering the
stadium in Somma Lombardo, Italy in the opening ceremonies to hear our National Anthem being played. Our Flag
was proudly carried ahead of us and we heard cheering
and clapping as we walked in. It was uplifting and welcoming to our spirits.
had made it very difficult to find enough tracking fields. All
things can happen in a trial.
The stadium was a large grass soccer field within a track
and had a huge covered seating area. The flags of all the
competing countries were displayed along with the IDC
and Italian host club banners. The obedience judge had
advised everyone at the handler meeting that he would be
scrutinizing every step of the retrieves and he was right
there close to us every moment. He didn’t miss anything—
very sharp pencil. In protection, the blinds were the full 80
meters apart and the judge kept the dogs in the bark and
hold for a long time. Some dogs had a problem with that
but, Eiko and Vesna were solid. The front half helper was
quick and consistent. His turn in the back transport was
to the stick side which is opposite of many helpers. And
that is why we train it both ways! The back half helper was
tall and strong. Both Eiko and Vesna hit him hard but, he
caught them well and carried them through the spin, immediately starting the drive as they came out of the turn.
The drives were hard with significant stick hits. The Italian
audience cheered and clapped for our performances and
both Eiko & Vesna received standing ovations for their
protection routines. When a whole stadium of people are
on their feet cheering your dog’s long bite, you are smil-
ing so proudly that your face threatens to break! Getting
those last two outs are pretty special too. On day one Eiko
earned 88 in obedience and 94 in protection. On day two,
Vesna earned 82 in obedience and 93 in protection.
During the closing ceremonies our National Anthem
played again as we proudly followed our flag into the
stadium and took our places with the other teams. First we
were lined up as teams and then in our respective places
that we earned. Eiko in 10th place and Vesna in 12th
place. The German team was the IDC World Championship team, the Italian team placed 2nd, and the Finnish
team was third. The IDC World Champion was Ataraxie’s
Big Ben owner/handler Jurgen Gutbrod (Germany), 2nd
place dog was Ottomac,, owner/handler Guiseppe Soprani
(Italy) and the 3rd place dog was Wilma vom Eschenbruck
owner/handler Franziska Kalmbach (Germany).
We represented our country, our breed and the UDC the
very best that we could and were honored to do so. Victoria and Wendy want to say a big thank-you to everyone
that helped us get there.
UDC has some great Dobermans and we need to continue
to take our place on the world stage. Next year we need to
take a full team and take our place on the podium.
Because of the constant rain the previous 3 months the
tracking fields were wet and difficult and mowed only a
couple days before. Even though we had worried about the
tracking conditions, we did very well. Vesna earned a 95
in tracking and Eiko earned a 93. Vesna’s tracking on day
one was in damp and soggy conditions with tufts of grass
and dead vegetation between the clumps. Eiko’s tracking
on day two was a little drier but, on the same fields as the
day one tracking, which certainly was an oddity. The rain

I
had not planned on going to IDC this year. Then, just
a few weeks before the event a delightful young couple
that I had met at previous dog shows in Europe who live in
Hungary contacted me and invited me to go to IDC with
them, so I could not refuse. I flew into Budapest and spent
a couple of days with them in Nádudvar, in the Hortobágyi
region before going on to The International Dobermann
Club (IDC) world sieger show held at Teleki Castle, Satulung, Romania. Since my hosts had no reason to attend the
IDC Congress business meeting the day before the show,
we did not journey to the show site until Saturday morning, the day of the Puppy and Youth judging. Of course, as
most of you have heard, the main news from the Congress
meeting was the announcement by the Dobermann Verein
(DV) that they plan on changing the DV Dobermann standard to dis-allow cropped or docked dogs in the standard
beginning January 1, 2015. There is much speculation
whether this is just a threat or whether the DV will follow
through with the standard change, but there is no indication that they are not serious about changing the standard.
It was evident that the The Dobermann Club Romania had
done a lot of work to put on a very nice IDC event. It was
one of the best organized IDC events that I have attended.
Congratulations DCR!!!

The finals ring had an excellent hard surface and was well
decorated for the occasion. The host club had a special
area set up for taking photos with a very colorful backdrop.
Unfortunately, at the time of the late afternoon when the
finals were judged, there was a harsh glare from sun shining from the backdrop that did not give the results that
were planned or desired. The Siegers and Siegerins are
noted below:
Black Siegrein - Wita del Monte Aspro (Vaydee Jungle Beat
x Hellectra) – Italy
Brown Siegerin - Havana dei Due Intenti (Red Rascal del
Fiorsilva x Hophelia dei Due Intenti) – Italy
Black Jugendsieger - Toscano del Diamante Nero (Urbano
del Diamante Nero x Clara del Diamante Nero) –Italy
Black Jugendsiegerin - J’Adore Gucci v. Nobel Line (Purgaj’s Porsche di Altobello - Beckers Mystique v.Nobel Line)
- Sweden
Brown Jugendsieger - Aguirre v. Westwall (Orson v. Nemesis x Stella v. Klingbach) – Germany
Brown Jugendsiegerin - DOROTHEA v. Nibulengenring
(Orson v. Nemesis - Vilija v. Klingbach) - Germany
I did not choose to fight the usual large crowd of Dobermann Paparazzi for position to take photos of the winners
because I knew that in a few days there would be would
be hundreds of them on the internet. You can find the full
results and numerous photos on The Dobermann, www.
the-dobermann.com, Dobermann Review, www.dobermann-review.com, or any of the other common European
Dobermann websites.

As with any large show of this magnitude, there is always a
certain amount of controversy and varying opinions of the
winners or who should have won in their place. However,
the judges decisions are always final. There were some
loud vocal protests by certain contingencies of countries
when their favorite did not win. This type of poor sportsmanship has become somewhat common in recent years at
IDC and this year was no exception.
Susan Brown
There was even a physical altercation in the back of the
crowd, but it was far away from where I was positioned. In
the end, a few were very happy with their wins, some others happy with their placements, and others not so much,
but such is the usual result at the dog show.
I would like to give credit to the host Romanian club again
as the Finals Judging was carried out in an efficient and
well organized manner. It was completed before the sun
was set which allowed adequate light for taking the Sieger
win photos.
The 2014 IDC Meisterschaft is scheduled to be in Belgium.
The 2014 IDC Congress and Sieger Show is scheduled to

Judith Fellton Memorial Award for 2013
goes to Rayanne Chamberlin & Bristol
The Judith Fellton Memorial Award is given out annually
at the DPCA Nationals. The award acknowledges achievement by a rescue Doberman. Every year the DPCA seeks a
rescue Doberman that is credit to the breed.
If you would like to read more about the Judith Fellton Memorial and Rayanne and her dog Bristol, you can type this
in your address bar - http://dpca.org/awards/awards_fellton.
htm or, go to DPCA.org>Awards>Fellton Memorial Award.
I am so proud to be able to share with United Doberman
Club Members that a fellow UDC Member and part of
our Search & Rescue Group, Rayanne Chamberlin along
with her dog Bristol was granted this recognition for 2013.
Rayanne is a founding member of Michigan Search and
Rescue and has produced the UDC FOCUS 3rd Qtr. SAR
issue the last three years.
In 2013 Rayanne and Bristol became the 4th Doberman
dog team in history to have achieved FEMA Level 1 deployment status. A remarkable achievement.
Rayanne writes “An award that recognizes a rescue Doberman is truly heartwarming. The Judith Felton award
is a huge honor for Bristol and me. And although Bristol
received this award for passing the FEMA CE (certification evaluation), she is just a symbol of what a rescue dog
- whether Doberman or not can achieve when given the
chance. Additionally, this is an individual honor, but no
one (person or dog) achieves this type of honor without
the support and assistance of many, many people along
the way. Bristol and I will continue to work and strive to
provide those who are victims of a disaster with the best
possible canine search team. I’m so humbled by receiving
this award ... and so thankful for all the people who helped
us get to this point.
Bristol is my 4th rescue dog that has worked in search and
rescue. All have been wonderful dogs who simply needed a
job. Bristol wouldn’t even have this job if Debbie McReynolds of Midwest Doberman Rescue hadn’t bent the rules
and allowed her to placed so far from St. Louis. So many
people along the way made this possible.”

The New IPO VO Title
by Erynn Lucas
Editor’s Note: Erynn successfully titled her dog to an IPO VO at the recent UDC Fall Classic.
T
Catherine LaBarre
here is a new title being offered in IPO. It is a transitional title that is between a BH and an IPO1. It is currently unknown about what will happen in the future with
this title (like if it will be allowed as a breed test or not) but
for now it can be a nice intermediate step on the way to
achieving an IPO 1 degree.
General
Dogs going for the VO degree must have already achieved
a BH. It is a three phase title but each phase is shorter and
less intensive than an IPO1 phase. Dogs must be at least
15 months to enter.
Tracking
The track for the VO is laid by the handler and consists of
two legs with one corner. It is 200 paces long with only a
single article at the end. Be aware though, that one single
article is worth 21 points so you want to make sure your
dog will lay down on it at the end! It also doesn’t have any
age to it. The handler lays the track and immediately gets
their dog to proceed to check in with the judge. It is worth
100 points total.
Obedience
Obedience is a bit of a mashup between the BH routine
and portions of the IPO1. There is both on leash heeling
and off leash heeling although the pattern though does
not need to be the same as the IPO1 or the BH routine.
Instead of 50 paces on the straightaway you are only
required to go 40. An about turn is demonstrated and
after the fast and slow pace the team must demonstrate 2
right turns an about and then a left turn in to the group.
These need not be demonstrated in the typical IPO or BH
pattern though. In between the on leash heeling and off
leash heeling you must go through a group. Unlike the BH
routine you only go through the group once and it is on
leash. You make the typical figure 8 stopping somewhere
in the middle and demonstrating a sit. During the on leash
heeling there are two gunshots.
After both heeling portions there is a down out of motion
and recall. There is no sit motion exercise. The buildup is
the same 10 to 15 paces then you make the down command and continue 30 paces away from the dog. At the
direction of the judge you recall the dog who must show a
correct front and finish.
Following the motion exercise there is a flat retrieve. This
is different than IPO1 however as the retrieve object does
not have to be a dumbbell. It can be ANY item of the
handler’s. I used a dumbbell for my older female and a tug
toy when I did the VO with my puppy. Anything is fair
game here. Balls, toys, some even use rolled up socks. The
48
UDC FOCUS
actual retrieve must be shown the same as when it is with
a dumbbell. The dog must go out fast, return fast and sit
quietly until it is outed. The distance of the toss is shorter
than in IPO1. It is a small five pace toss.
Following the flat retrieve there is a jump. The jump is lowered for VO participants. It is not one meter but rather 80
cm. That is roughly 31 inches instead of roughly 40 inches.
It is a nice variation for both old dogs that struggle to make
the height and young puppies that shouldn’t be jumping
full height routinely. With this exercise though, there is no
retrieve. The handler and dog position themselves like a
regular retrieve but instead of tossing something over the
jump the handler is allowed to take one or two steps to encourage the dog to go and give a jump command. The dog
must go out and jump the jump cleanly and then without
picking anything up the dog is recalled by the handler to
make a clean jump back and show a front. The front and
the finish are shown the same. There is no wall in the VO
and there is no go out exercise.
There is a long down under distraction but it is short. You
pick up your dog after the third exercise of the other team
that is on the field.
Protection
The protection routine is pretty fun and hands on. You
check in with the judge on leash and then proceed to the
middle of the field. You remove the leash and send the dog
directly into the find blind for a bark and hold. There is no
blind search. Upon the judge’s signal you go into the blind
and hold the dog by the collar and pull it back a few paces.
As you are pulling the dog back the helper is supposed
to be leaving the blind and going directly into an escape.
There is no setup for this escape, it is a dynamic exercise.
When the helper is approximately 5 paces away the judge
signals you to release and the dog must go directly into
the helper and try to prevent the escape. When the helper
locks up you out the dog and it should be shown cleanly
and the guard work should be the same as IPO1. While the
dog is guarding you walk up and again hold the collar of
the dog. At this point the helper walks briskly away about
20 paces and then turns to make an attack. You cannot
pump the dog up while holding it, but neither is it required
to sit quietly. At the judge’s signal the handler releases the
dog for the grip. There are no stick hits but there is supposed to be the threat of the stick. Once again, when the
helper locks up and out command is given and at this point
there is a little bit of control work. A side transport must be
demonstrated to the judge but it is on leash. After checkout
you must heal the dog away a few paces before the routine
is officially over. With this protection routine, there are no
re-attacks no stick hits and no TSB rating.
