There is a common saying that “Behind every successful man there is a strong woman...” In the German Shepherd Dog world, the saying is “Behind every strong male there are many strong females”. This statement totally applies to Iko vom Guldenen Winkel. Iko’s mother is Oona vom Patiala (a BSP participant with the sister (Oxana) being an LGA participant), grandmother is Jilnannah vom Talka Marda (a National IPO3 Championship participant with 3 littermates (Javir, Jenna, and John) being BSP participants), and the great grandmother is Quaste vom Ankenrutt (a multiple BSP participant).
Iko’s father is Arrico vom Wolfsheim, a BSP participant and his littermate Agent vom Wolfsheim was also a BSP participants. Their father Justin vom Pendel Bach was also a BSP participant. Arrico was not owned by a famous dog trainer but many famous kennels like Wannaer Hohen, Vom Peroh, Pa-Schacks, Eiserner Kreuz bred to him on multiple occasions, which is a testament of his actual working ability and his breed value. His father’s mother is Noditha vom Teufelsgrund, a BSP participant, who was is also the mother of famous Bomber, Bandit vom Wolfsheim, and Gin vom Wolfsheim. Noditha was a daughter of Andy vom Lemper Heide (a BSP participant) who was a Neck von der Maineiche (a BSP participant) son. Arrico’s son. John-Boy von der Wannaer Hohen is a two-time BSP participant finishing 6th at the last year BSP.
Iko was bred by Mr. Gregor Kaschinski of Guldenen Winkel kennel. This famous kennel produced the Falco vom Guldenen Winkel, owned and handled by Mr. Helmut Raiser. The team of Falco amd Helmut were 2004 Schutzhund 3 German National Champions (Bundesseiger). Iko has normal hips and elbows and he has received a BH at a young age. Iko shows a lot of promise in all three phases of IPO and is a great dog to live with – ask my daughter!
