Xhey is an exceptional and passionate hunter. During her education, her leader Frank O’Leary, whom has raised and owned more Kleemann dogs than anyone in the country, said “Xhey was the best hunting dog in the kennel”. Xhey’s search has twice been awarded 4h and noted as an “impressive nose driven, expansive, intense search always adjusting for wind and terrain.” Xhey’s point (4h) is intense, stanch and her manners on moving game are impeccable.
Her impressive nose and search enables her to reliably and quickly find game; combined with her cooperation and lovely personality, she is a special dog. In addition to her beauty, she has a friendly intelligent nature, is affectionate, and is absolutely pleasant in the home.
At the 2023 Zuchstschau in Alberta, Canada SZR Jeff Martin commented “Overall in physical confirmation, this dog is very correct. In movement, her stride and reach is powerful and fluid, giving the impression of floating in the field. Today she fully deserves a V rating”. Xhey is fun to show, displaying a very proud charismatic nature.
Xhey’s mother is Sadie vom Trocken Bach 0882/16 (Cuno KS vom Thüringer Zipfelx Graci KS vom Trocken Bach) who was the Prüfungssieger (test winner) at each of her tests.

Mr. Hofstetter, who is regarded as one of the best leaders in Germany and has lead over forty Kleemann dogs, repeatedly said, “Sadie is a very special dog and one of the best dog’s I have ever led”. He also said Sadie was one of the best water dogs he had ever seen. Sadie was awarded V1 following suit of her mother, Gracie KS vom Trocken Bach V1 and top 10 at the Kleemann, and her father, Cuno vom Thuringer Zipfel V6 rude and best young rüden at the 2012 Kleemann. Cuno’s pedigree reads like a who’s who in the DKV. His sire Ungaro KS vom Hege-Has is one of the most influential sires in the last ten years. His mother Nova KS vom Hege-Haus was one of the best Hege-Haus females both in testing and breeding carrier.
Xhey’s father is the very accomplished, beautiful, and legionary Darwin KS vom Hege-Hof.

At the 2023 NAKP, Wren received a perfect score prize 1(4h search) and prüfungssieger (test winner). Wren has a wonderful personality, in the house he is very calm and relaxed, in the field or water he is very driven. Mr. O’Leary said “Wren is a special dog, we usually we don’t keep males but when you see Wren and observe him in the field, water, and at home you will understand why”.
