𝙍𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙇𝙖𝙢𝙥 is an exemplary representative of DDR Line 5A, going directly back to V 𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙤 𝙫𝙤𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙏𝙝ü𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙟𝙪𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙣 SCHH3 (LGA) FH2 in his fifth paternal generation. Dargo was a hard, massively built paternal grandson of V 𝘿𝙤𝙣 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙍𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙞𝙘𝙝 SCHH2 FH, (DDR 108760) who propagated one of the strongest strains of Line 5A we see today, especially with regards to "DDR type." His sire, Belarusian import 𝙀𝙣𝙣𝙤 𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙎𝙄 is a strong representation of Line 5A himself, with both parents being members of this line. Enno's damsire V 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙩 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙜𝙧𝙪𝙣𝙙 IPO3 was one of the top producing pure DDR males of high drive and excellent hip scores. In Rory's fourth generation topside is V 𝙍𝙖𝙨𝙥𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙣 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙁𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙗𝙚𝙣 IPO3 FH2, another strong producer of DDR type. Rory most definitely inherits his strong phenotype, especially his massive head, from Rasputin. On top of phenotype, Rasputin was also known for producing strong nerved, sound dogs, which Rory especially takes after. Through Rory's lineage going back to dogs from Kabuschsee kennel, he holds much less common, valuable bloodlines such as SG 𝘿𝙪𝙭 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙃𝙖𝙪𝙨 𝙆ä𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 SCHH3 (DDR LGA) FH3 RH2 (DDR 151068) as well as many gems from von der Old Lady kennel. Rory's dam 𝙕𝙚𝙣𝙯𝙞 𝙂𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙇𝙖𝙢𝙥 is a substantial bitch and paternal granddaughter of V(BSZS) 𝘿𝙤𝙣 𝙫𝙤𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙏𝙚𝙪𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙣 SCHH3 IPO3 FH2. Her g.grandsire V 𝘿𝙪𝙠𝙚 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙎𝙘𝙝ä𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙡 SCHH3 IPO3, like his sire V 𝘿𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙤𝙣 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙁𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙡𝙤ß SCHH2, was a strong producer of DDR type as well. Rory goes back to SG 𝘼𝙧𝙠𝙤 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙎𝙥𝙧ö𝙩𝙖𝙪𝙚𝙧 𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙙 SCHH3 FH2 IPO3 in his 5th generation as well. Arko was a substantially built and very tall male as well, who unfortunately did not sire nearly enough offspring as he should have. It is wonderful that Rory continues his incredible genetics today. Rory's direct maternal line goes back to V 𝙌𝙪𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙂𝙧ä𝙛𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 SCHH3 (5th gen) and her daughter V 𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙘𝙠𝙚 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙇𝙪𝙙𝙬𝙞𝙜𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙠 SCHH3, (4th gen) two of the most prolific and top producing old bitches in Germany, whom many tried and true dogs in Germany's gene pool are linebred on. Rory offers quite a diverse pedigree with minimal linebreeding. A 5-5 to V 𝘼𝙧𝙚𝙠 𝙫𝙤𝙣 𝙪𝙣𝙨 𝙃𝙚𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙩 SCHH3 is all of his linebreeding within the first five generations. This is important in today's already small gene pool to keep it from bottlenecking too much at times. Further back, he is linebred 5,6,6-6,6 to LGA competitor V 𝙏𝙞𝙣𝙤 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙁𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙡𝙤ß SCHH3 (LGA) FH2. Tino was most certainly one of the legends of the DDR world born not long after the fall of the wall. Tino not only produced a lot of drive, but great phenotype as well, as we can see in his sons, grandsons and g.grandsons throughout Rory's pedigree. Additionally, Rory is linebred 8 times further back to Tino's sire, V 𝙁𝙞𝙡𝙤𝙪 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙆𝙖𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙚 SCHH2. (DDR 156330) This no doubt brings in a strong Line 12 influence along with his linebreeding to Arek. Rory is linebred 5,6-6,6 to SG 𝙇𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙮 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙃𝙖𝙪𝙨 𝙄𝙧𝙞𝙨 SCHH3 as well, a full sister to the fantastic producer V 𝘿𝙤𝙣 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙃𝙖𝙪𝙨 𝙄𝙧𝙞𝙨 SCHH3. Lissy produced very well herself, being the mother of 𝙑𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙤 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙃𝙖𝙪𝙨 𝙄𝙧𝙞𝙨 BH, (in Rory's 4th and 5th generations) V 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙤 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙃𝙖𝙪𝙨 𝙄𝙧𝙞𝙨 SCHH3 (in his 5th gen) and SG 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙭 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙃𝙖𝙪𝙨 𝙄𝙧𝙞𝙨 SCHH3 IPO3 RH1. (also in Rory's 5th gen) All in all, Rory in my opinion is one of the best pure DDR studs in the United States, consistently reproducing his strong phenotype, great nerves and environmental soundness, with rare and top producing bloodlines throughout his pedigree. A true gem in the East German gene pool.
