KROMOFOHLANDER


The existence of this canine variety is very recent and it is due to chance and the insistence of a German breeder, Ilse Schleifenbaum who, according to her words, fell in love with the first puppies she saw. The origin was the natural crossing between a German female, with unknown linage, and a male, also unknown, taken by an American soldier to Germany, at the end of the war. The bastard puppies that emerged from that union displayed a character that charmed Ilse, who, with the support of a famous canine expert, began developing the breed with such success that in 1955, she saw her interest rewarded in the official acknowledgement and first standard as a German breed.
