Vivre Vivien vom Franckenhorst

“Bred in Holland this dominant black bitch proved to be a brood bitch of excellence for the vom Franckenhorst Kennel and Dobermann breed in General. She did well in conformation herself, although due to circumstances she was not extensively campaigned. But she did become a French Champion and also won the German Champion show where she made D.V. Siegerin.
The Dutch specialist Mrs Onstenk-Schenk wrote about her: “a nice 18 month old bitch with much nobility. Very short bodied and a good head with a nice expression. Very dark eyes, long neck, good front, and excellent depth of chest. A short, strong back and sufficient hind angulation. A beautiful specimen”.
She made Schutzhund III with a scores of 92-82-83. Her sire was also a SchH III dog from the same kennel, and was widely acclaimed for his fierce fighting spirit.
Vivre Vivien died at 7 years of age, leaving numerous important progeny behind her such as Amos, Dea Dolores, Dexter, Golda, Gringo and Guido vom Franckenhorst.”
