The Death of A/C CH Herman Rinkton (pending)

CH Herman Rinkton (pending)
November 22, 1935-October 22, 1949

CH Herman Rinkton is dead. Word passed around the ring at the Queensboro show in hushed tones as thoughts of this grand old campaigner raced back a decade to the days when the fancy united to advance Herman as the color-bearer for our Breed in the last of the great AKC inter-group contests to a show record in one year worthy of a rarely successful lifetime.

Herman Rinkton was whelped November 22, 1935, by CH Achat v Welderhavelstrand ex CH Anni Rinkton, bred by Victor Moench of Buffalo and purchased as a young puppy by Richard Heller of Elmira, NY who showed him to his Championship  dated September 10, 1937. At the Baltimore show in January, 1938, where he sprang into prominence by winning best of all breeds, he was purchased by C. Hyland Jones of Orange, NJ and shown thereafter in the name of Mrs. Annis A Jones — handled from early 1938 until the fall of 1939 by Hans H Sachers.

Herman was shown in the USA 113 times. His AKC record includes 100 bests of breed when the award was judged by the breed judge, before all three bests of variety began going into the hound group in 1942. He placed 96 times in the group–first 82, second 24, third 7 and fourth 3 times. He won best of all breeds nine times, in 1938 at Baltimore, Lenos, Westchester, Brockton, Lehigh Valley and Des Moines ; in 1939 at Mississippi Valley, Tennessee Valley and Finger Lakes. Among his outstanding wins were the Dachshund Club of America Specialty at Morris and Essex (311 entered) under the German judge Gustav Alisch and in 1939 (263 entered) when he went on to win the group; his Westchester best in show (988 entered) and his 1939 best of breed at Westminster (185 entered) and fourth in the group.

Canadian Kennel Club records show Herman Rinkton’s Canadian Championship in 1939, and during 1938 and 1939 six best of breeds and four group firsts and best of all breeds.

In 1939 alone, he won the breed 72 times and 48 groups of which 31 were at AKC member club shows to win the AKC hound group award presentation at a ceremony recorded and circulated by four of the five national news reel services. To refresh our minds, the names of the other group winners indicate the stature of group competition at that time: Cocker Spaniel My Own Brucie, German Shepherd Giralda’s Geisha, Kerry Blue Bumble Bee of Delwyn, Pekingese Kai Lo of Dalwyn and Standard Poodle Blakeen Jungfrau, final intergroup winner.

Another measure of the extent of Herman’s wins may be gained from noting that his 100 USA bests of breed represented the impressive total of winning over entries of 3,425 dachshunds; his 62 hound group firsts totalled winning over entries of 4,109 hounds; and his nine bests of all breeds saw him placed over entries of 4,380 dogs of all breeds. Stated another way, Herman won in dachshund competition totaling entries of 3,604 including 179 before and outside of his 100 bests of all breeds. The groups in which he won first add 2,340 hound entries of other breeds and groups in which he won second, third or fourth, add 1,121 more hound entries. His nine bests of all breeds add 3,866 non-hound entries, making a grand total of 10, 931 dogs entered at AKC point shows over which he was placed by more than two hundred judges. Without such a yardstick, a comparison of bests of breed or variety, groups or bests in show is a comparatively hollow gesture. No dachshund ever has compiled such a show record.

Herman came out of retirement in 1947 to win the veteran class at the Dachshund Club of New Jersey specialty at Trenton, and since that time has remained in the care of Rosalia Scheurich and Clara Weaver at their ‘Tween Hills kennels, Matawan, NJ.  Friday evening, October 21, 1949 his hitherto good appetite failed and the next morning, his heart — which so often had responded to the thrill which marks the natural-born great show dog–ceased to function, just one month short of his fourteenth birthday. It is with sympathy to Mrs. Jones and to all his many friends and admirers that the sad news is recorded: Herman Rinkton is dead. His name will outlive this generation of dog fanciers.
