Beurau of NRCR, leader of land-group "North-Western Union".
Her first dogs were GSD - Zika and Rena. In 1990 she bought her first
rottweiler - a female Dendy. Some years later she finished kynological
courses and became RKF judge for open and then national level shows.

Inna became a Chairman of the Show committee. Thanks to her efforts and
professional managing there was organized a special rottweiler show which
became annual. The show is very popular with rottweiler breeders and lovers
because of perfect organization, friendly atmosphere, rottweiler specialist
judges. In 2002 the show received a national status. In November 2001

The work with the breed begun in early 90-s, but only after foundation
of Russian Kynological Federation (1994) the kennel was registered in
RKF, and 4 years later - in FCI.
Our first females derived mostly from Russian blood lines and they were
mated with best males of domestic and foreign origin.
Most successful litters were sired by:

to Moscow RUS Ch Amado z Zaglebochka. Terminator was linebred to one of
the best producers of Poland of that time - J:J Lila Hagsater, it was
a medium size male with strong head, strong bone and good temperament.
His descendents inherited good body construction, strong bone, typy head
with dark pigmentation of the mouth and they were leaders of the show
ring of middle 90-s (Erfolig Erica, Erfolig Chelsi).

Analyzing the results of work with domestic lines we saw that blood of the ancestors that derives from Soviet military kennel “Krasnaya Zvesda” (Red Star) is very hard to overcome even by strong German studs. Legally fixed facts of using not only rottweilers in the beginning of the development of the breed in that kennel is also a dark spot in the history of rottweilers from Red Star. It’s become absolutely clear that in order to achieve positive results it’s necessary to import new PURE blood breeding female of pure German origin.
In 1994 we met Gerasimova Irina - very experienced dog owner and rottweiler
breeder, the owner of "Kirfield" rottweiler kennel. This person
played a remarkable role on the development of our kennel.
In 1989 Irina imported a Hungarian female Beher Leini Bianka, from ADRK
sire - Edelboy v. Werther Sdadt and DDR dam Enke v. Winkel. Both parents
were imported to Russia (URSS) later.
Enke
was medium size female with excellent body and very typy head peace, excellent
stop, well developed cheek bones, short muzzle and high set ears. The
most successful litter of Bianka was V-one out of DDR import Astor v.d.
Pfingstwiese. Irina kept two dogs from that litter - female Vildgret and
a male Vainbrand.
A female Vildgret possessed a very typy head with prominent stop and cheek
bones, she was shown 9 times in her lifetime only on the special rottweiler
shows with results of 8 "BOB" and 1 "BOS" titles.
She became a foundation bitch of the "Kirfeld" kennel.
Her brother Vainbrand was a very popular stud of the middle 90-s in Petersburg.
He is a medium size male with well developed and compact body, with good
musculature and strong bone, very typy head with prominent stop, well
developed cheek bones and wide skull, small high set ears, it's a very
temperament male with high working drive. Being line bred to "Enke+Eyk
v. Winkel" parents Vainbrand was a very influent producer and he
matched perfectly most females of domestic origin, giving to his descendents
his head type and working abilities; qualities which dogs of that time
lacked drastically.
The most titled son of Vainbrand was Erfolig Zvaiter, multi class winner,
champion of S-Petersburg.
As you might've noticed DDR rottweilers were the most popular and available
import due to conservative politics of former Soviet Union. Advantages
of those dogs were modern head type, good hips and extraordinary working
abilities, as faults - some times light eye color and medium bone strength.
In
1994 we bought a female Piranja, daughter of mentioned Vildgret and Urs
Zonbrix, the last was a son of DDR import Brix v. Rotten Ufer. Thus, the
pedigree of Piranja represented a mixture of 3/4 DDR blood lines with
multiple inbreeding to "winkel" dogs and lines of Harras v.
Stenkopf [Benno v Algeur Tor son].
It was a big and strong female with wonderful head peace - wide skull,
excellent and high stop, prominent cheek bones. Together with modern exterior
Piranja inherited excellent temperament, which differed greatly from the
dogs of that time - she was fearless, hard and stabile dog in the work
field and very social and friendly in a day-to-day life.
Piranja was a class and prize winner on many breed shows of 1997-2000
years under the judging of many Russian, Finnish and German specialists.
She was also high placed on IPO competition.
She
gave us two litters. The first one was after Zhainer Katrdarstain, whose
pedigree consisted of typical for that period combination of DDR (Dargo
v. Kreutzstein) and FRG (Harras v Steinkpf) lines. The most successful
dog of that litter is Ilbret Pizhar - interchampion, champion of Russia
and Belorussya, Finish CAC. Unfortunately Ilbret left only one litter
in the kennel in 1999 after the Ben v. Lerchenfeild, multi champion, grand
son of Pasha v. Hegestrauch and Doc v.d. Teufelsbrucke and none of the
litter was ever shown or bred.
Second litter of Piranja was born after ADRK male - Brando v.d. Hassberghohen
(Ken v Schwaiger Wappen + Mira v Schwaiger Wappen). Brando - was imported
to Finland by the owners of "Fold Face's" kennel, where he made
victorious show carrier (5xCACIB, Multi CAC)
From
Brando and Piranja there was born only one female Banda, which remained
in the kennel. At the breeding age Banda was mated several times with
no success. Few mating she got empty and puppies after Int Ch Wiktor v
Geranshof and Int ch Morro vd Scherau died few days after they were born.
Thus the first attempt to breed german lines went to the end. It’s become
absolutely clear that in order to achieve positive results it’s necessary
to import new PURE blood breeding female of pure German origin.
Anyway, Piranja was a remarkable dog in our life. Mostly thanks to her
we felt deep love and faithfulness to the breed, according to her we developed
an opinion about desirable exterior and character of Rottweiler.
It was a first dog that we passed our first IPO title, we took part in
IPO competition on S-Petersburg championship (3 place, best bit work),
we took part in the first rottweiler championship abroad with ADRK judge
(Lahti-Sieger 1997 V5 among 32 dogs in open class, W.Walter). Having strong
rottweiler character with high instinct of defense, she was absolutely
friendly with home guests. As an example, I may note she was the only
rottweiler female in working class on Special Rottweiler show of Rottweiler
Club of Petersburg that judge Pirko Pessonen could touch in the ring…
She was the first and only! Our true love for ever.
Next acquisition of our kennel was a female from Olburd kennel (Zekke),
daughter of Indio
Dell'Antico Guerriero and Daphne v.d. Immenstetten, granddaughter of Doc
v.d. Teufelsbrucke and Ferres v. Hirschenrangen. It's a very promising
young female with faultless body construction and excellent temperament;
her show and breeding results were absolutely justified by her pure origin.
It necessary to note, that Indio attracted our attention as a stud a time
ago, he possesses nice exterior qualities proven on major European show
(Interchampion, Italian Ch, ADRK KS V-placed) and high working drives
(Italian work champion, IFR'01). His farther Jackomo founded one of the
most progressive lines of Germany, whose descendents represent bright
modern type of rottweiler and leads on the most prestigious rings of Europe
(Fanto and Jumbo v. Kummelsee, Ole v. Ostsaschen, Odo and Odin v. Fleischer,
Morro and Muck v.d. Scherau, Tough v. Hause Neubrand).
Zekke gave a birth to one litter after Russian champion, Russian Rottweiler
Club champion and Club Winner and Ukraine champion Burbon Pride of Beaumonde
(Ukraine import, son Ben vd Scherau, gr.son of Ciddo v Rosslesgarten).
Erfolig
Zheneva (female from Burbon and Zekke) already gave a birth to wonderful
litter after multichampion and super stud Morro vd Scherau. The page of
L-litter you may see in the gallery. Erfolig Larita (that remained in
the kennel) by the age of 20 months entitled as Russian champion with
several Best of Breed titles. Her brother Lexus is developing good show
carrier in Finland by winning few CACIB.
In the year 2003 new female
Alexys s Voshodjaschego Soltza joined the kennel. She's grand grand daughter of Carlo v. Hamburger Michel via his imported son Dachs v. Tweelbacker See, Champion of Giorgia and Russia.
Alexys
is a big strong female with strong bone, dark color of marking, strong
head with prominent cheek bones. She won Russian champion title after
several shows, also she was working class winner of Cup of North-West
under Gabriele Wodak and 4 placed on national rottweiler champion ship
in Moscow under Bianka Miksic Kasun. Her line in the kennel represents
her daughter – Erfolig Elti (f. after Junior Europe Winner'01 Odin v.
Hause Neubrand), already Russian champion and V3 rated on rottweiler champion
ship in Moscow under E.Hellmann (ADRK).
In
May 2003 we bought a female in the kennel of our friends "Alegranda"
which is linebred to Jackomo v.d. Bleichstrasse via his two most titled
sons who are also proven producers Indio Dell'Antico Guerriero and Balue
v. Silbelbrick.The farther of Unique - Fanto v. Kummelsee possesses according
our opinion most desirable qualities for rottweiler very typy head, good
size, excellent bone, strong and well developed body, good temperament,
good working drives.
Her mother - Nouki RG Alegranda derives from two interchampions Indio
Dell'Antico Guerriero, mentioned above, and Ebra Ultimatum, which is offspring
of such famous dogs as Interchampion, Germany Ch, Polish Ch Wiktor v.
Geranshof, Int Ch Doc v.d. Teufelsbrucke , Int Ch Axel v. Nedermolen,
World and European Ch Ken v. Schwaiger Wappen and ecc. Most valuable advantages
of that line are excellent bone, red color of markings, strong body, typy
head with short muzzle.
Unique started her show carrier very successfully in Petersburg and then
she continued in the hands of my daughter in the kennel “from House Rotvis”.
Unique is Interchampion, champion of Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Moldova,
Serbia, Ukraine Club Winner 2005, Poland Club Winner 2006 and most of
all – ADRK Best foreign female 2005, ADRK champion class winner! I have
young daughter (Afra v House Rotvis) of
Unique and ADRK import Lewis vom Kummelsee, Mambo v Crossener Ranch son.
Unique was not the only ADRK KS placed rottweiler raised in my home. In
2005 I took a female from Morro vd Scherau and Indiana from House Rotvis
– Hanna. Hanna did a fantastic show carrier and that was not surprising
according to her exterior and champion behavior – ADRK KS 2006 – V2, RJCAC
VDH junior class, U.Pettermann, Ukraine Junior club Winner 2006, Junior
champion of Russia and Ukraine, Champion of Moldova, few CACIB, many Best
of Breed titles. Now she lives in Greece, young and very promising kennel
vom Leuchtenbrucke.
