in -98 ch tape, Wolfs handler Dirk v Swerten wears red suit and he has mustache. Helps also if you pick the fastest and most impressive dog, thats Wolf
Yes Dirk Swerten has grey hair, skinny guy with red overall. Wolf is a red, medium size male. Very fast.
If it is the championship tape: Dirk misses the 1 minute down exercise there because Wolf refused to lie down. Good for them things went better afterwards and they still won!
The offspring from the Tourtel line (Brett, Brenda, Corak, Corat, Coraly & Eriem) look a lot like him. Also fast, good object guard, beautiful dogs. Great working dogs.
Hi, Has any of Wolf's progeny achieved his accomplishments as far as being a champion? If not what are the current offsprings/ relatives competing in? Juan
It is very wrong to focus on champion titles, because it's not always the dog that becomes champion that is the best dog. All the dogs that get a championship selection are able of taking the title and it depends a lot of a little bit of luck at the right moment (or on too much nervosity of the handler at the wrong moment) .
You should look at the total achievemens of a dog during his whole career, to be able to judge it. How many trials did he attend and how many of these did he win? Was he selected for the championship every year? If he wasn't selected, what was the reason (maybe he couldn't attend enough trials because of injury).
No Wolf son, besides Eriem, became champion, but some did very good in the trials.
Zinros: retired now but 2nd and 3rd place in the championship. Brett: no titles but nice working dog Corat: no titles but impressing (has been out a whole season because of injury) Corak: no titles but nice working dog Eriem: Champion Cat3. Very good sport dog.

I agree with your assesment of the championship dog not necessarily the best dog there. I wanted to point out that I was trying to figure out how consistent the bloodline/ kennel was in participating in the big events of BR. Juan
