The Kromfohrlander

The Kromfohrlander originated in Germany in 1945. At the end of World War II, American soldiers entering the town of Siegen in Westphalia, Germany, brought with them a tawny-colored dog of griffon type. They gave it to a local resident called Frau Schleifenbaum, and it mated with a terrier. Frau Schleifenbaum decided to form a breed from the resulting puppies.

The Kromfohrlander is powerfully built and can have a wire coat (most popular) or straight hair. Its coloration is a combination of white and tan in various shades. There is often a tan area on the head, and another on the back which forms a saddle thpe patch.

They should be 15-17 inches tall and weigh around 26 pounds. The Kromfohrlander was first recognized by the German Kennel Club in 1953.
