Self,

The Heinzl dogs were kept by a small group of people who were private and could only be contacted if you were in the know and had the proper references. I secretly kept but never bred my Heinzl dogs since 2006. I lost my stud due to him swallowing a rock and emergency vet wanting 5K to save his life. I was in my 20's and could not afford the cost so he was put down. My Heinzl bitch has since passed on from old age. I know one of the old men in AZ who kept them and can reach out. It would honestly give me a good reason to chat with an old friend if anything. I do hope he is still alive and in good health.

I also kept a Colby bitch I bought from Lou (hence my reference to the Heinzl guys). I sure miss him he could talk your ear off for days and would give you golden advise about the dogs, his game fowl, or in life in general. I still have old photos and letters from him and my buddy in AZ.
