von der Silberquelle Great Dane kennel



History:


In 1985 our family decided to buy a black dog, only for hobby at that time. Ten months later we also possessed a harlekin bitch which was followed by another black one.
In those days only the Czech-line dogs were available that were considered to be rather good quality in Hungary.
In 1991 my father became a member of the ”Deutsche Dogge club” in Germany. Seeing the publications issued by the club and the foreign exhibitors’ dogs at CACIB exhibitions we determined that we could make the progress-up only by the full replacement of our resources.
The first step was taken in 1993 when we obtained our first imported German harlekin bitch / Baccara von Haus Kamitz / that commenced the commenced the replacement of our resources. Finally „von der Silberquelle” kennel was established under my name in 1994.
We proceeded to change the face of our enterprise with two imported Belgian bitches / Tess and Vita van de Pelterdog /. We had them covered abroad /
Germany, Belgium, Italy, Poland /, which defined the qaulity of the dogs born in our kennel.
Harlekin and black colours are the characteristics of the kennel but we rambled into th blue colour for two litters.
Dayton von der Silberquelle blue dog and Dalma von der Silberquelle blue bitch fulfilled the hopes we nursed into them. Unfortunately Dayton died of spinal marrow infarction at the age of 20 months, which comcluded the successes we had begun.
In 2001. we bought Torino von Csúf Márky bringle bitch that made successes during the exhibition season in 2002. Later on we look on her as a breeding bitch.
In conclusion we have to say many thanks to those – inland and abroad –whose knowledge and positive attitude have helped our work. The list would be long but it is essential to mention the following persons, as „von der Silberquelle” kennel could not follow its current trend without their assist. We found really good friends in them:
