Dave and Lori Langen are the proud owners of two Fogelhund Kennel babies named Arwyn and Emma.
They enjoy competing in scent detection and other fun filled competitions.

Arwyn, aka: FOGELHUND’S ARWYN THE DARK QUEEN, SD-S SD-A SD-E , has earned many scent detection titles with Dave.

Arwyn is a 5 year old black GSP and Logan is an 8 year old little boy who is her best friend. They have been doing scent detection training together for approximately 2 years on and off. Logan is a busy boy and also has baseball and hockey to keep him busy.
They competed in their first Sport Detection Dog Association Trial on October 14th and 15th/23. Arwyn and Logan entered at the Started Level. They qualified in 4 out of 5 events. In a few of the events they were the fastest team to qualify and locate the scent .
This team is very excited to continue practicing and training for their next trial.

Way to go team Logan and Arwyn! We are so very proud of you and eagerly await to hear how you do at the next trial.

ANOTHER FIRST IN THE BOOKS FOR OUR KENNEL!!

We had a great time at the GSPCC Water tests held in Binbrook this past weekend.
I’m sure our dogs were road weary after just completing 5 shows in 3 days in Muskoka and then going straight into the Water Testing.

I am so very proud of Jeff Pletch and Cooper. They tackled a CKC newly released Water Dog Elite title.
As a result, they are now the very first and only one to have added this title to their name! 🥇Two of their three qualifiers came with the Highest Score (99/100). Another first from Fogelhund Kennel Perm Reg’d.!
Cooper is now titled:
CH FOGELHUND’S VIER J P COOPER VD FD FDX FDA FDXCH WD WDX WDE NTD CGN NAVDHA UTILITY PZ1

Betsy, Paisley and Gema also had a fun time and are looking forward to next years test.
A special thanks to the hard work of Maria Foster for making this event come together. Also, thanks to judges Mike Leitch, Mike Foster and Jack Dafoe.
Thanks to all the people in the background who made it all happen.

A special shout out to Renato Poloni and Ripper , Jeff and Coopers training friend, for being the very first qualifier towards the Water Dog Elite title. I enjoyed meeting and getting to know him and his capable dogs.
Congratulations to all the new title holders and qualifiers. It was so nice to see people I haven’t seen in some time and meeting new ones.
Thanks to Emily Meko for photographing the event.

Such an awesome weekend at the Muskoka District Kennel Club show for our Fogelhund pups!

Betsy was awarded - Best of Breed, Best Opposite (x2) and Select Bitch as we work towards her Bronze Grand Champion proudly Breeder Owner Handled.

Gema was awarded - Select Bitch (x3),
Best Opposite and finished off the show with Best of Breed and a fabulous Group 2, in a very strong Sporting Group.

I’m so proud of how Gema has followed in her mother’s steps (Paisley).
As you recall, Paisley was the first solid Black GSP CKC Champion and now Gema ( pending CKC approval) will be the first Black Grand Champion GSP Gema was also the first Black GSP in Canada to earn a Group 1 win and now has a Group 2 to her credit!!

Congratulations to Gema’s Owner Maria Foster and thank you to Nate Francesco for piloting our girl to her current standing.

Thank you to all the respected judges for recognizing our girls amongst some very nice dogs.

So thankful to Sheryl Law for her support and sharing a great few days with me at the show and cottage. It was great to see well the dogs all interacted together and was fun to watch her Dobermans swim for the first time with Gema and Betsy…
So proud of all her wins and thanks for stepping in to take Gema’s leaf as well!

This truly was a weekend to remember!
We attended the Georgina Kennel Club Dog Show with Gema and Betsy.
Today, under Judge Genevieve Munro, our two girls were both pulled out for consideration of Best of Breed. Gema, ultimately was honoured with the win of Best of Breed and Betsy with Select Bitch. What a breeder/ handlers thrill!
We are so proud to announce that Gema completed her CKC championship today and CKC pending is now,

Under the care of her new best friend, handler Nate Scarpino, professionally guided her through to a Group 1 win against a large group of top dogs. Nate continued to show her at the Best In Show level.
Thankyou Judge Ms. G. Munro for awarding Gema her Group 1 win from a lovely lineup of dogs. We believe that Gema is the first black German Shorthaired Pointer to win a Group 1 in Canada under the CKC.
Congratulations to owner Maria Foster- thanks for allowing Gema to be shown and make our kennel proud.
We look forward to seeing Gema’s future unfold and where her new connection with Nate takes her.

It is with broken hearts we say goodbye, much too soon, to one of our beloved Fogelhund Kennel GSPs.
Rocket aka:
CH. FOGELHUND’S SKY ROCKET N FLIGHT, AmSH CD RN CGN.
May 31, 2010 - March 22, 2022
Rocket was a solid liver GSP and was multi capable in field, show, water and various forms of obedience. Most of all she was an amazing mother to all her puppies of three litters. She produced the first solid black Shorthairs for our kennel.
Rocket got her name from the non- stop wagging and speed of her tail (even when swimming)! She always had a flower, leaf, toy or stick in her mouth to share with all family and visitors. Her contagious crooked smile was heart warming. Cuddling both her human and fur family was her favorite part of the day. No one was ever left out!
RIP Rocket - we miss you.
