Any Dauphin's foals here? PROUD MAMA #72

[JazzIT]

Hi folks!!

Sooo I create this tread because I have a Dauphin x Brentano II foal comming for 2012. This is a dream come true for me, it’s surely a keeper!

So like a crazy person I am, I am doing a photo album with all siblings I can find on internet!! The problem is that I’m doing this thing for 7 months already and I’m out of stock lol (and most of all I have very few 3years old + pictures or videos)

So if you own/know/already rode a Dauphin or best a Dauphin x Brentano II foal/horse and have pictures/videos/infos you want to share, you would make me verrryyyyy happy!! (here or by PM)

Thank you all and forgive me again for my bad english, I am french canadian!

Do you have any recent pictures of her?

I have a 6 year old Dauphin black gelding who is my dream horse. Temperment to die for. Same at shows as at home like a black lab. 1/2 steps are a piece of cake. He has a motor without being hot and always wants to please. I would love to hear how your cross turns out.

Ohh happy to hear this!! Any pictures or videos??? You can PM me if you prefer! I will keep in touch with you for news of my foal, Brentano II is known for trowing super temperment too (mom is so pleasant to deal with and very laid back) so I’m very exited about it!

@Hawkridge: Yess it is Belle de Jour 2012 foal!! You now understand why this foal is a dream came true!! This mare is perfection to me, I can’t wait to see the cross with Dauphin! Nine months seem so long!

I own the Dauphin filly Clint bred. I have a few updated headshots.

She has the same beautiful head she did as a foal. I’ll try and get better pictures this weekend.

[JazzIT]

Thank you so much, it is very appreciated!! Would really like to see confo or mouvement pics!

And what a head… Wow, simply stunning!! The 2011 filly(by wolkentanz II) out of the same mare has the same really pretty head of her mom so I really hope for the same feminine one for mine!

No others?

I haven’t personally seen any Dauphin offspring – wish I had, as I have long admired him as one of the more attractive Donnerhall sons.

For those of you with Dauphin daughters, look at the similarities in these pedigrees.

Dauphin
Donnerhall / Feiner Stern / Pik Ramiro / Akzent II / Pik As xx.
Note that Akzent II was an Absatz son.

His Highness
Hohenstein I / Donnerhall / Feiner Stern / Aktuell / Cardinal xx.
Aktuell was also an Absatz son.

I think if I had a Dauphin daughter, I would have to strongly look at putting her to Hohenstein I.

[JazzIT]

Thanks DownYonder! I reaally do love Hohenstein I as a sire, I look at it but seems like his frozen is not so good so knowing that it was the first time going frozen for the mare Dauphin was a better choice.

If I get a filly, I will really look for the cross with Hohenstein I hisself or one of his son!

[DownYonder]

And here is another stallion with similar blood to both Dauphin and His Highness.

Sir James
Sir Donnerhall / Feiner Stern / Pik Bube I / Weltmeister / Cardinal xx

Of course, Sir Donnerhall is Sandro Hit / Donnerhall. Pik Bube is a Pik As grandson, so more of some blood found in Dauphin, and then there is also Cardinal, who is also found in the pedigree of His Highness. No Absatz blood in Sir James, but Pik Koenig’s dam Anina is a granddaughter of Abglanz (sire of Absatz).

[clint]

Or, you could go with Harvard, who is Hohenstein x Cardinal, and side-step the Sandro.

[JazzIT]

Yes he was the son I was thinking about! My coach has a 2 yo by Havard by a Capitol II mare. The filly is simply georgeous, beautiful head!

Exactly.

I saw a beautiful yearling colt by Dauphin/Ferro, with SPOTS (!) at my Hanoverian inspection this weekend… He’s a beautiful black and white tobiano.

Here’s our black 2 yr old Dauphin filly out of a Goodtimes mare, very good mover and smart:

We have another Dauphin filly out of a Contucci mare; very pretty and a very good mover. Will try to find a picture of her and post.

[JazzIT]

Wow, your filly is simply georgous!!! Wow wow wow!! Do you have any videos??

Here is mine… Not the better picture but you know… Just happy to see this little thing!

The frozen semen list for Celle states Dauphin is “not for Canada and the USA.”

Canada uses the Verband. Just because a stallion is approved for Germany does not necessarily mean he is okayed for use in Canada, so again, this would be something to get clarified before you use him for your Canadian-based Verband-approved mares.

I have no doubt that Dauphin foals would be just fine for Canadian Warmblood or Canadian Sport Horse, however, as his SPT scores and ranking would be acceptable. A breeder using other registries would need confirm permission from their registry before they breed their mare to him.

He has good breeding values: He scores 151 for limbs - meaning he has a very high probability of passing on his legs. He scores 135 for passing on type. He scores 119 for passing on dressage ability. Very low score of 78 for jumping ability, which makes sense considering he is dressage-bred.

A note about those legs: When I look carefully at his conformation picture, he appears to be very slightly behind at the knees. With his strong propensity/probability of passing on his legs, you should make sure you use a mare with very correct legs and who is very, very strong about passing on her legs. Otherwise, he is a lovely boy.

Sylvan - it is obvious you have found a ‘nick’ with your Goodtimes mare. She is quite lovely.

He has a very lovely son, Don Presidente, who has no restrictions, approved Hanoverian. He scored 135.32 (2nd place) for dressage.

JazzIT, you had me laughing out loud when I looked at the picture. But, you know, it looks like a good solid pregnancy. Fingers crossed for next year. Thanks for the compliment on our filly. Will see if we can do some video of her.
