Vello von Fürstenfeld

Vello von Fürstenfeld competed multiple times in the D.V. Meisterschaft and passed the Körung 'for life' with Körklasse 1 rating. His litter-brother, Verry von Fürstenfeld, was the winner of the D.V. Meisterschaft in 1970 while his litter-sister, Vilja von Fürstenfeld, became Bundessieger in 1967.

The same combination of Bordo von Fürstenfeld x Citta von Fürstenfeld also produced:

• Mascha von Fürstenfeld: SchH 3 and Bundessiegerin in 1965, DDR-Siegerin, Italian Siegerin, German Champion and International Champion.
• Mecki von Fürstenfeld: SchH 3 and Bundessieger in 1965, Netherlands Champion in 1965, International Champion and best male at the World Show in Brünn.
• Miko von Fürstenfeld: SchH 1 and International Champion. He is sire to Palma von Ellendonk who in turn was the winner of the D.V. Meisterschaft in 1975 and dam to Bingo von Ellendonk.

“This black male obtained no titles at shows, although he received good reports from various judges. The dog's owner, Mr. Vogel, was more interested at that time in working the dog.
Vello passed his Schutzhund III 35 times, came 4th and 6th at the DV working show and also won several working test. He also earned his 'Körung'. He became very important to the breed thought his two sons Bryan von Forell and Bonni von Forell.
Vello proved that the Dobermann could be not only an excellent working dog but also an excellent show dog. If Mr. Vogel had devoted more attention to showing Vello he would undoubtedly have acquired many titles. At the age of 15 months he had already won a CACIB show in Pirmassens, even though he was entered in the junior class. This is extremely unusual in Germany. The judge Mr. Dietmann described the dog as follows: “this 15 month old male is elegant, with a beautiful head and neck. Good eyes and correct dentition. Excellent topline, however the tailset could better. A good front and well angulated hindquarters, movement free and correct”. It was a pity that this male, two months later at the Bundessieger show at Frankfurt, entered the ring too late. The judge Mr. Schulz had already placed the dogs and so was unable to alter his decision. Of course the male had his faults. It was said that his back was too long, his head too feminine and he lacked bone and substance. Nevertheless he left behind many good progeny, both working and show, when he died at the age of 9 year.”
