Unfortunately, for various reasons, the bitches didn't conceive this year. We then focused on training, so it will effectively be a puppy-free year. This needs to change in the future. I'm currently waiting for Tina and Wenke to come into heat. I will provide updates here regarding upcoming matings as soon as possible. I do expect suitable puppies to be available in the spring.

Highlights of 2023 included the spring trial in Ursprung, the competition between Hohndorf and Kronau (in Kronau), the local group trial in October, and also in October, the Saxony State Tracking Championship, which we organized and in which two dogs from the von der Traubeneiche kennel successfully participated. One was Tina with me, and the other was Quat von der Traubeneiche with Karl-Heinz Riedel. A huge thank you to Karl-Heinz, who constantly motivated me to train; without him, this result would not have been possible.
