German bred female who is one of the most important females in history, having a large number of great descendants in Europe and the US. Her first mating to Troll v. Engelsburg in Germany produced the sieger Ferry v. Rauhfelsen (later exported to the US where he became champion. He also was the first Dobermann who got the best in show at Westminster in1939. Ferry was the father of 37 American champions) and the siegerin Freya v. Rauhfelsen. Especially in the US, Jessy produced 13 champions from only 2 litters (the first sired by Kurt v. Rheinperle and the second by Pericles of Westphalia). About 45 of her grand children became champions in America. Jessy was German Siegerin, 1937 DPCA best of breed and American champion.

Vs current day, I notice the more snipey snout- a flatter chest, but "she is standing over herself" correct?

Also the crop, which frankly I prefer to the extreme antenna ears today ...(running away chuckling evilly...)

I wouldn't call this snout snipey compared to later years, looks like a clean dry mouth with good jaw, but I'm not the expert here, just saying what it looks like to me. Also not familiar enough with the show terms, but I *think* she is "standing over herself" rather than "posting" which would be with her weight leaning back and her front feet more forward. Show folks, correct me if I'm wrong with these terms.
What I LOVE about this bitch is her rear end! She has such a beautiful, full hip. I too love the shorter ears... not a military crop, but not nearly so long as today's show crop.
