INFORMATION
There are many anecdotes regarding animal breeding. How does one understand what works, how to read a pedigree, who to breed to whom, who is the ultimate judge, is the standard followed for the breed, is the breeder improving the breed with the offspring. All of these statements need to be combined to produce the better animal and be a successful breeder.

My personal experience of breeding Morgan horses and dogs for 30 years has always started with an excellent female line. A line of pedigree with proven generations of qualities one wants to continue in the breeding program. Combined with a male who also has a strong female line with the desired traits produces the best genetic possibilities for the breeder. Classic Giant Schnauzers follows this theory and the dogs are exceptional specimens of the breed, not only in phenotype (what you see - body structure, bone, coat, dark eye, large head, drive, confidence, excellent temperament) but also in genotype (what you don't see - what the individual will in turn give to their off-spring). Classic Giant Schnauzers has now produced the third generation in 2003 & 2004.

CH Classic von der Allenhof, CD, BH, V rated -  purchased at 8 weeks from Jim and Cornelia Allen with the qualities of excellence in both phenotype and genotype for my female line. An Iro daughter and Atze grand-daughter on her mother’s side, "Liebchen" is the founding bitch for the Classic breeding program.  Shown to her championship as a young dog, 'Liebchen' was the first offspring of Iro von Sandokan, SchH III, IPO III to achieve her AKC Championship title.  We went on to compete for the BH schutzhund obedience title (my first!) in 1997. Having gained some confidence, we completed the AKC Companion Dog title in 3 consecutive shows and were awarded High in Trial at the Giant Schnauzer Club of America's Midwest Specialty Show.
