Winnetou, call name "Vinny", had a-normal hips and elbows and was DM Clear. Vinny excelled at everything he did and even his IPO3 scores were so high that he could have competed regionally or even nationally. He was very sweet, but also our most "hard" dog. Due to him not doing well with our other male dogs, we ended up selling Vinny to a breeding program based out of North Dakota, where he sired more litters. Vinny sired our beautiful girls, Kenzi and Karma.
