We hope to contribute to the future of the Show type Greyhound by preserving (and enhancing) the already very restricted gene pool. That\u2019s our long-time goal \u2013 not the all-too-fleeting success in the show ring. The breed has been bred to perfection in the last 2000 years, it is not necessary to \u201eimprove\u201c it for even more spectacularity.
Please feel free to contact us to learn more about our breeding strategy, and about future puppy plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our kennel name \u2013 <\/strong>Munich and the English Garden<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The English Garden in Munich is one of the world\u2019s largest urban public parks, bigger than the Central Park in New York or the Hyde Park in London. It\u2019s a broad band from city centre to the northern periphery, covering an area more than 4 square kilometres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was planned in 1789 and finished in 1792 as a public park and military garden by the Kurf\u00fcrst Karl Theodor \u2013 acting on suggestion by his aide-de-camp, the american military adviser, inventor and physicist Benjamin Thompson, better known under the later awarded title Count of Rumford<\/em>. He supervised the project which was executed by the Royal Gardener Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Benjamin Thompson did not only work in Munich as military adviser, but also as social rerformer. He had built poorhouses, schools and manufactories, invented the Rumford fireplace and the cheap but nutritious Rumford soup for the poor. After the time he spent in Bavaria, he moved to Paris and continued his scientific work until his death in 1814.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking for a kennel name, we came upon this initiator of the English Garden \u2013 our green, rabbit-free paradise. Our dogs are running and playing there how much they want. Keeping Greyhounds in Munich wouldn\u2019t be half as great without this park!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Friedrich v.
