Yucca v Schilfkolben of Ladymeade (fawn) (Kekki v Birkenhof x ?) Siblings Ymir, Yorrik, Ystard, Yoga, Yonita, Yves v Schilfkolben. Born February 1946. Yucca was, curiously, not registered in the DDZB (Deutsche Doggen Zuchtbuch, as the studbook was called after 1933) but has the AKC number W-105183, having been imported to the USA. The rest of that Schilfkolben “Y” litter, however, does appear in the DDZB – six of them. The significance of this is that a rule came into effect in Germany that all pups in a litter over the number of 6 were to be put down – so….was Yucca a 7th pup spirited away to safety?

CH Zeus Hexengold (lightly striped golden brindle) (Cathal vd Irminsul x Ortrud Hexengold) Born June 5, 1937. Breeder: Carle Narbe. In the 1938 Cologne show, Zeus was rated “Excellent, first” and chosen as “Best in Show” of all Brindle Males (defeating what would be known here as Specials). But the Reichssieger title was denied him because he was not yet 18 months old. He was used at stud in Germany twice before he left, once by Hexengold and once by v Schilfkolben. On April 27, 1939, less than 5 months before WWII started, Zeus arrived in Canada. He was 8 days short of 22 months old and was registered by the CKC as a “golden brindle, white mask” (!) – some kind of garbled German translation, perhaps, because his mask, though not extensive, was black, and had not gone grey. He had been bought by Betty Hyslop’s husband, George, for a mere $500 to join a string of other top-winning German danes that they had imported to Cairndania. According to Betty, Zeus, as did all her German imports, had beautiful temperament. He moved well, had dark eyes, good dentition and plenty of masculine size and substance. She remembers he lived to “a decent age.” Sire of Diana Hexengold. Sire of CH Vance of Rosehall.
CH Zeus v Merscheid – see CH Zeus v Ohligs
CH Zeus v Ohligs [aka CH Zeus v Merscheid] [aka CH Zeus v Ohligs-Mercheid] (brindle) (CH Ador-Colonia x Schmunzel v Merscheid, unregistered) Born September 30, 1906. Owner: Hermann Kadow, Beuel a. Rh. This was Hermann Kadow’s first Dane of note. Breeder: Jos. Bohmer, Merscheid. Zeus’s title was not recognized by the DDC back then (Holland was not part of Germany and only German titles and “affiliates,” like Austrian ones, were accepted), he was obviously one of the breed’s most influential sires and was used often by other breeders. Ths dog won many prizes and was a very important progenitor of the breed. He was obviously very recognized as worthy since his head is the emblem of the West German Dane Club.

Owner: Frau Hedwig von Rhoden, Loheland kennels. Grandmother was Alruane v Boehmerwald.
