Re: [Killietalk] New and Rare

[George Slusarczuk <yurko at warwick_net>]

Hello Brian,

Congratulations on you Chaimanship! I wish your Committee the outmost
success!!!

The DKG has at least 2 commercial breeders -- Steffen Haustein and
Heinz-Günther Ulmke. I have ordered from Haustein (before 9/11) but not
since then. His fish are excellent! 
Ulmke seems to be averse to exports, but I think that NOBODY will
decline an order of, say, 100 pairs! (Particularly if you have a German
speaker talking to him.)

You probably have these addresses, but in case you don't, I'll list
them. 

Steffen Haustein
Leversum 51
59348 Lüdinghausen - Seppenrade
GERMANY

Haustein does NOT list his telephone nor e-mail.


Heinz-Günther Ulmke
Lambergstr.4
44289 Dortmund
GERMANY

Tel. 49(231)446-2512 (9AM - 7PM) (German time)
Fax: 49(231)446-2511

Ulmke's listed e-mail bounces. The fax seems to be good. I have not
tried the telephone. His stocklist is listed in DKG-actuell 4/2003. If
you don't have it, I'll fax it to you.

Of course, should you order from him, it would be nice if you also
ordered the fish of interest to me. :-)

Best,

George
