01.06.2013: Today we could celebrate the 16th anniversay of the kennel Racker vom Moos.
16 years ago, the A-litter has been delivered by our famous Flora.
However, based on experiences and concomitants we were facing, there is no real
reason to party.
One year ago, when we arrived back in Bavaria after having finished our business
life, we found ourselves in a situation which was not encouraging to continue with breeding.
In essence:
Despite the perfect outer appearance and the unequalled character of our Godiva,
her genetical health status, over time, proved to be critical. In addition,
other than accepted in the contract, only 3 puppies have been screened for HD
(only one of them by a real expert) with not optimal results (1 x A, 1 x B, 1 x C).
Missing input from the remaining 5, the database was not reliable enough to exclude future
skeletal disorders.
The most depressing problem, however, is the fact that Ernest, a very promising
male puppy, is suffering from hypothyroidism, which probably is inherited. Ernest
was bought by a Mistress from France and designated to be trained for competitions.
Recently, his Mistress wrote in a letter that, under permanent medical treatment,
he is doing well. He is an excellent family dog. He likes playing around and walking
including limited sports activities. However…
You may understand that under the given circumstances, I cannot guarantee any
longer the high breeding standards which I feel myself obliged to.
You will understand as well, taht, as a consequence, for the time being, the
kennel Racker vom Moos is not in the position to deliver litters.
Despite all this, I'm still devoted to Schnauzers and interested in all
developments. This includes my offer to assist in all questions related to
Schnauzers or in the research for a young puppy.

15.08.10: Godiva awarded to Deutscher Champion PSK und VdH!
Only a few weeks after our settling down in the Netherlands, Godiva continued with her carreer.
Already with the first attempt, she succeeded at the KSA in Cologne. Despite the weather conditions,
she got the excellent 1 and, consequently, made "Deutscher Champion PSK and VdH".
Also one of the youngsters had his chance:
Enno Racker vom Moos
achieved a "promising" based on a really fair evaluation.28.04.10: It´s time to move again!
However, please feel you invited to stay in touch.
Effective from tomorrow:

After more then then years, a little "Racker" returns back in Rackermoosstraße. We are happy
that Espina will find a well proven Mistress.
