Eighteen-pound Herman accumulated more than 100 Best of Variety wins, 66 Hound Group First placements, and 14 Best in Show awards. His most spectacular win was Best of Breed at Westminster Kennel Club in 1939.
The American Kennel Club named CH Herman Rinkton as the best American bred specimen in the Hound group for 1938. This was the last year that the AKC made the year-end award based on the number of Group first placings. After 1938 the AKC instituted a system of points based on the total number of dogs defeated. (From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle Newspaper, 1938)
The promotion and publicity generated by Herman Rinkton’s sensational career was responsible for improving the image and public acceptance of the Dachshund in America. It also opened judges’ eyes, and they began to give serious consideration to the Dachshund in the Group and beyond. By 1938 Dachshunds ranked fourth in the AKC’s registrations, with 3,213 registered. By 1946 registrations had jumped to 6,598 !
