Dixon is my first pointing dog. He was the boss of dog-puppies
in his litter and was called with the name “Mr.President”,
which he still recognize. That´s why he also got his
official name Dixon: it was D-litter and the name Dixon
comes from Nixon. But he is Mr.President also because of his
high quality.
Dixon was nine weeks old, when I got him. Breeders Pavel and
Iva had taught him many things already. He came with a
whistle for example. Dixon learnt things very quickly.
Indeed I didn´t have to teach him at all. He just did all I
wanted. He seemed to understand even my hand-signs!
Dixon´s
character is perfect, even thought he is “the boss”. He
loves people, children and adults, and wants all their
attention. He wants his hug times every day. Or then I have
spoilt him, because I love him so much… He is very calm
inside and outside. Inside the house he usually sleeps all
the time near the people. If I go to the other room, he
follow me and take the new place beside me. He has his own
pillow, which he always carry with. In the evening he don´t
want to go to the bed alone…He come with his pillow in his
mouth and keep noise until he get somebody to sleep with
him.
Dixon has desire to please, which I feel very important in
characteristic. He works very well in a real hunting. He has
an excellent nose and don´t miss games at the area. His
pointings are very good (intensive). He uses wind the right
way. And he runs when working. He runs fast and head up like
setters. He retrieve and bring all games in one piece, not
break them. Dixon can also come to tell me if he has found
the game. Then he goes back and take the new pointing for
the game he found earlier. Dixon has learnt this by himself!
It happen, when we are in the deep forest and I can´t see
him and his pointing. This thing dogs have to do in our
winner class (Kaer)…
We moved to Suonenjoki on the July 1999 and quite soon
happened an accident and Dixon hurt badly. He was not the
same anymore, I realized years later, why. After accident
our Vet only checked if legs were broken and they were not.
In the beginning of 2004 Dixon couldn´t got up! I was sure
that his life is over, when I drove to the Vet. There found
one change in his back…Good luck he got better! He has good
and bad days, but most of good days. He gets his
professional massage about once a month. It has helped to
keep problems away.
On the August 2008 I had to make very hard decision: to let my
lovely Dixon-boy sleep away. The Vet never found what was
wrong with him. His heart and other internal organs was all
ok. There was something wrong in his throat. When he got
tired his throat "closed" and he didn´t get air to breath.
Finally his condition fell so down because of these
breathing problems that it was better for Dixon to let him
die. The Vet suspected asthma as a result of living in
our sick house, where was damage caused of mould (mold in american language).
Actually I got also asthma there. The cold water and
cortisone helped to get the throat open. One of my hunting
friend said it would be cancer in the throat, but my Vet
said it was impossible, because the cancer grow up bigger
and bigger and that was not happened in his throat. Anything
was growing up anywhere inside Dixon.

Dixon has three brothers and three sisters. One brother lives
in Italy and I heard he has been an excellent hunter in the
mountains of Italy. In Germany four sister have been in the
breeding-tests (VJP,HZP), including Dixon in v.w.HZP.
Brother Dexter(HD A) is in the breeding dog list in VGM.e.v.
and he has about 25 litters in the Middle Europe. Sister
Darca did also very well in the VJP and HZP, but
unfortunately her HD was E. Also sister Doria passed VJP
very well. In zuchtschau (special breeding show in Germany)
have Dexter, Darca and Dixon all got grade v/v.

This should be the right pedigree of Dixon Ciperro. In our
Kennelclub´s system finds some wrong names: Inca v. Hoohhols
ZBDW107/78, Lars v. Hoohhols ZBDW21/80 and Belf ut
Seelterlound ZBDW202/76. There is any Hoohhols kennel in the
world and ZuchtBuch DW means maybe Deutsche Wachtelhunde...
Inka v. Hochholz, Lars v. Hochholz and Delf ut Seelterlound
are all Large Münsterländers and in the ZGM register.
You can see there finds some "reg." dogs. It means that behind
it finds DL (German longhaired pointer). All the others
should be in the ZGM register.
The Mother Bea should also be the Int Ch, but the owner has
never done it officiall.

Dixon
has been ten times in FCI shows and once in special LM show
(v.w.zuchtschau) in Germany. Dixon has got 5 CCs and 4
CACIBs in three different countries. Three CCs from Finland,
which is the maximum the dog can take, one CC from Norway
and one CC from Germany. The working dog need only two
CACIBs in two different countries before it can get the
title of Int Ch. There must be min. one year and one day
between the first and the last CACIBs. Dog needs also the
working test result before it will get the title of Int Ch.
Today the test result has to be 2.prize twice or 1.prize
once in open class. I decided that four CACIBs would be
enough for Dixon… Dixon has always got at least “very good”
in shows except once, when he decided to start his two years
old puperty in the middle of the show ring…:) Here is the
all his original critiques. Some words are so illegible that
I´ve put the question mark after those words.

Dixon
did things very good in tests too. It is not his fault
that he don´t have more working awards. Dixon was the
first LM, who started tests in Finland. It took many
years until somebody gave me advices, how to train dog
right and how I should lead the dog in the tests. I did
many mistakes until I learnt. Actually I am still
learning….:)
When I learn enough the special hunting words, I will
translate those test critiques below.
Dixon olisi ollut erittäin lahjakas koira ja helppo
koulutettavakin. Olisi vain pitänyt tietää mitä opettaa
ja miten. Yhdelläkään isomünsterillä Suomessa ei taida
vielä olla vastaavia kirjallisia arvosteluita kokeista,
mitä Dixon on saanut: vauhdikasta ja laajaa
maastonpeittävää yläpäistä hakua, varmaa
linnunkäsittelyä... Menestys oli kiinni vain
puutteellisesta tottelevaisuudesta ja ohjaajan
osaamattomuudesta, sen voi jokainen lukea rivien
välistä. Ohjaajan virheet eivät periydy ja se näkyy jo
Dixonin jälkeläisissä: neljä koepalkittua jälkeläistä,
eikä ikää lapsilla ole paljoa vuotta enempää tuloksen
saatuaan. Tässä tulokset, joista 17.01.04 puuttuu
tietokannoista, sillä onhan se nyt liikaa vaadittu
koejärjestäjältä vielä postittaa tulokset Kennelliittoon
raskaan koepäivän jälkeen...:)

"Haku on aktiivista riistalle pyrkivää ja johtavaa
hakua. Riistatyössä on erinomainen linnun
paikallistaminen, räväkkä nosto, mutta kohtalaisesti
perään. Pysähtyy kuitenkin käskystä. Noudossa on
keskittymisvaikeuksia ja vitkastelua tuonnissa".
(Oma lisäys: Noudon keskittymisvaikeudet ja vitkastelu
tuonnissa johtuivat siitä, että kun lintu heitettiin ja
ammuttiin, läheisestä kuusiaidasta karkkosi
fasaanikukko. Dixon kyllä meni suoraan noutolinnulle
luvan saatuaan ja otti linnun heti suuhunsa, mutta
paluumatkalla herran piti käydä fasaani suussa
tarkistamassa kuusiaita. Ja ennen fasun lähtöä Dixonin
nenä merkkaili kuusiaidan suntaan siellä olevaa fasua.) |

"Hakee kahdessa erässä hyvää maaston peittävää hakua.
Hakua rasittaa yksi törmäys ja ajoittainen maaston
kertaaminen. Toisessa erässä seisoo fasaanin kaukaa.
Hyvä nosto suoraan linnulle. Linnun lähtiessä ryntää
pysähtyen. Noutoa rasittaa ohjaajan noutolupa ennen kuin
se oli annettu ja linnun pudottelu". |

"Haku melko hyvää ja maastonpeittävää kohtalaisen
vauhdikasta hakua. Itsenäinen koira. Hakee hyvin sekä
aukealla että peitteisessä. Jäljittää fasaanin
jokipenkassa. Vakuuttava seisonta, hyvä raju nosto.
Koira levoton linnun lähtiessä. Nouto täydellinen kylmän
linnun nouto". |
Tässä vielä yksi parhaista kirjallisista arvosteluista, mitä
Dixon on saanut, vaikkei palkituksi tullutkaan
(vastaavia löytyy muitakin tietokannasta):
10.12.1999 Timo Ailio:
Haku on innokasta ja riistalle pyrkivää toimintaa. Erikoisesti
on huomioitava yläpäisyys ja tuulenkäyttö haussa.
Riistatyössa on vakuuttava seisonta, joka on melko kaukaa
tapahtuva juttu. Eteneminen on vapautunut suoritus suoraan
linnulle…

Dixon is now gone, but his genes will come to live in Finland,
GB, Australia, Spain, France, Holland and the United States.
You can find more information about Dixon in the news site.
Some memories...
Mr.President Dixon on osoittautunut juuri niin erinomaiseksi
jalostusurokseksi, minä saksalaiset rodun asiantuntijat sitä
pitivät nähdessään hänet vorm walde HZP:ssä. Suomessa Dixon
ei ikinä saanut arvostusta (tietyssä seisojapiirissä),
muualla maailmassa sitten senkin edestä.
Dixon on nyt poissa, mutta hänen geenit jatkavat eloaan
ainakin Britanniassa, Australiassa, Espanjassa,
Ranskassa, Hollannissa ja Yhdysvalloissa. |
