"Hettel was apparently never photographed other than seated but whether his hindquarters had to be hidden is impossible to say. He is said to have been big and strong with a good gait and noble appearance. His temperament, like that of Gunter (his brother) and their father before them, was only passable and it is claimed that inbreeding on |
| 'Uckermark' gave
problems in this direction as well as spongy bone. Bearing in mind
the nutritional knowledge at that time the bone problems may have been
as much environmental as genetic."
"It is said that Hettel was difficult to condition and according to Hamphrey (1928) his most important and influential son Alex v Westfalenheim died of intestinal trouble. Strong inbreeding on Hettel, especially via Alex, was said to give this trouble with poor assimilation which expressed itself either in conditioning difficulties or in actual death from digestive complications" ~Author Unknown |
