Anton
In February 2023, Tom Kaulitz and Heidi Klem faced the abrupt loss of their Irish Wolfhound, Anton. This heart-wrenching event followed the loss of their German Shorthaired Pointer, Capper, just a month earlier. Adding to the sorrow, Tom’s twin brother, Bill Kaulitz, lost his own dog a week prior. Given the close timing of these losses, the group harbors suspicions of poisoning as a potential cause.
Capper
Tom Kaulitz and Heidi Klum experienced the loss of their 15-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, Capper. Despite the dog’s advanced age, the couple had concerns about poisoning as the cause of death, particularly given the proximity in time to the passing of their Irish Wolfhound, Anton.
Uschi and Jäger
Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz currently have two German Shorthaired Pointers with very German names: Uschi and Jäger. In September 2023, a couple of months after the devastating loss of their dogs Anton and Capper, Klum got the two pups as a birthday surprise for her husband, Tom.
