This is Coach and Olympia's father, Am/Can. Ch. Samuel vom Steinhof. He is known to his friends as "Willie". Willie is one of my all time favorite dogs. He is the alpha male of the group. He rules with experience and compassion rather than brute force. Willie is a BMDCA Top Conformation Sire as well as a Top Working Dog Sire.  It's good to be King  Willie in his spot w/ Baby Grand.

9 month old Hansi being gentle w/ puppy  A happy, but dirty boy.  A happier and dirtier boy!  This is Ch. Eur-Am's Hanselmann. He is Coach's full brother, from a previous breeding. He is a very handsome and athletic dog who finished his championship very quickly. He is second in command at Elke's house. He generally patrols the property during the day and comes in every so often to cuddle. Usually the first thing he does is to give Willie a lick on the nose as he reports back in.

This is Coach's mom, Malaika von den roten Eichen. Malaika, like Willie, is a German import. She is a beautiful bitch and a very good mother. She is very loving, at time a little too much so. At the age of 5 Malaika went back East to live with a lady who was having a difficult time and needed a lot of love. Malaika and the lady are both very happy and Malaika is being loved and cared for very well.

This is Hanselmann's son Trooper (Ch. Eur-Am's Leading the Troops) getting Winners Dogs at the Lake Mathews KC show at 13 months old. Trooper lives with our friend Holly Leong and Susan sometimes shows Trooper for her. Trooper finished his championship with a 5 point major and 3 Best of Breeds, one of which was over specials. He is about the sweetest boy you could imagine. His hips are GDC-good and his elbows are clear.

Olympia's Mom Cloe in front,  Olympia's grandma, Dixie, is Susan's Pillow. Dixie's son, Tank, is to the right. Tank's dad was a good fence jumper.  You never eat alone at Elke's house,  Lining up for yogurt.  A school of berners.  Ever feel like you're being watched?
