Aurora is a stunningly beautiful hündin with substance, great passion, tremendous prey drive, and captivating personality. Aurora has a tremendous nose, desire, passion, and a phenomenal understanding of the hunt for a young dog.
At the Derby, Aurora demonstrated ability far exceeding her age. Her search was far advanced for a Derby dog. Not only was it spacious and methodical, but it was also well thought out leaving no gaps in the field. Aurora demonstrated her understanding of the hunt during three separate searches covering very different terrain and conditions. Most impressive was the fact that during all searches and conditions she followed her excellent noise which led her to the game. When accessing her performance and justify her receiving a 4h for Nose. 4h for Search, and 4h for Pointing the judges wrote:
- Nose – consistent and proper use of nose into the wind in various hunting situations and terrain.
Dog demonstrated experienced and intelligent use of nose beyond her age throughout all search
fields. - Search – Consistent, intelligent, and expansive search. Demonstrated strong desire to find game. Always searching into the wind leaving no holes in the field.
- Pointing – The dog approached from the downwind side of the bird and carefully moved forward showing excellent manners in front of moving game.

At the Solms, under the most challenging weather conditions one could imagine, Aurora again performed beyond her years.

Ede is a noble and strikingly good looking male. His presentence and majestic silhouette draw your eye to him immediately. When you have the opportunity to see him in the field you are equally impressed.
Ede had a very impressive education career in Germany with Holger Hensel as his owner/leader. Holger made the following observation about Ede, “Ede is a male with focus on the field and in the water work. I love his searching style with a high nose and the best protrusion, as well as his pronounced predatory game hardness. He has brought flawless puppies up to now, although he is not available for every bitch. The offspring in my kennel according to the management fully meet my expectations.”
