For the students of German Shepherd's history, the examination of important dogs in the past that had a great influence on breed development presents an attractive study.
One of the most influential dogs in breed history was the controversial 1929 German Seger-Utz. vom Haus Schuetting. Today, there will be very few German shepherd dogs in any part of the world that show pedigrees that don't have the Utz name.
As you talk about the history and specific periods of breeds in the late 1920s and early 1930s, when interest in German Shepherd Dogs has grown enormously, you need to delve into many generations, apparently studying your dog's pedigree.
What is interesting about Utz is the fact that he has been the subject of much controversy in the German Shepherd Dog world, whose virtues have been praised by some people and severely criticized by others. It was.
“Utz” represents a complete departure from the long-legged, slightly sherry-type shepherd that was popular at the time. He was born on March 12, 1926 and was bred by Dr. Funk, a famous “houseshooter” kennel in Munich. Dr. Funk became president of SV from 1956 to 1971.
In the 1929 championship in Germany, "Utz" became the Grand Champion-"Sieger". Later, he was exported to the United States and earned the title of American and Canadian champion.
What kind of dog is “Utz”? From the explanations and reports of the famous authorities at the time, it seems that he was slightly smaller than the popular dog type at that time. He was also said to be somewhat impressed due to the temperament. Nevertheless, he is a well-balanced and beautifully constructed dog and he proved to be a very dominant stallion.
Before leaving for the United States, "Utz" was widely used in research in Germany and proved his value as a bull. The most famous sons in Germany were the 1932 “Seager” and “Fussan vs. House Schwetting”. Hussan said, “I was two bulls,” Siegerins “-” Jamba v. Haus Schuetting “1933 winner and 1935 title winner“ Stella v. Haus Schuetting ”.
In the United States, “Utz” invited many champions and two Grand Victors. These were the 1935 Grand Victor "Roseland Knox" and the 1939 Grand Victor "Hugo of Cosulta reared by Marie Leary".
In England, his influence was profound. Mrs. Gwen Barrington's famous international champion "Brittard's Gerolf" was loved by the imported dog "Boss vs Bern", the son of "Utz".
Another famous pedigree that Utz perpetuates is of “Erol Ingoson”, familiar to the famous Utz descendant “Ingo vs. Pier Stem Dam”. Ingoson was the grandfather of Champion Avon Prince of Allambert, one of the most widely used studs of his time, so the extent to which the blood of “Utz” spread to the British pedigree is highly appreciated.
"Utz" has been widely criticized for its poor temperament and fading, and it is a recognized fact that his dam ["Donna zum Reurer"] was a particularly light-colored female. However, it seems to be an indiscriminate “misuse” of “Utz”, rather the use of this important dog seems to be the root of the trouble.
The famous "| Britta" kennel Mrs. Barrington wrote in 1942 ... "The benefits of his blood far outweigh the disadvantages. Most of the shortcomings attributed to Utz are actually in this The bitches he was mated with related blood tension ... "
Colonel Baldwin, a “Picardy” doghouse, is a legendary figure in British breed development and made the following comment in an article published in the September 1946 issue of the American publication “Shepherd Dog Review” ...
"Utz is often said to have been bred, lightly colored, very shy and shy and reared. Instead, he was lethargic and indifferent. We must add aristocrats to it and I am convinced that Utz blood is invaluable if it is used properly.
Finally, famous American breeder Mrs. Margaret Horn made a similar comment in the April issue of the same magazine.
"I don't do what good Utz has made to breed, but he is overkill and this is dangerous. Utz was not a villain. Our American fantasies are overused A villain, a glass of pepper. "
Therefore, it seems that “Utz” must be regarded as one of the most important dogs in breed development. But it is clear that he was used indiscriminately because of his amazing qualities and the rare ability to reproduce these qualities.
Clearly, there are messages to learn. Today, breeders tend to sell puppies that are popular with famous show winners and mate their bitch with the dog, regardless of whether the animal is optimal.
