I am expecting great temperments, nice structure, size and color from this breeding!! Black and Reds or Black and Tans! Some long stock coats possible. These puppies should make excellent companions, obedience, tracking or agility dogs and possible schutzhund propects! For more info on Ivan and Xtra click their names under the pictures above. Ivan is a large, black and red/tan male standing 26 1/2" and weighing 105 lbs. The above pictures taken in our back yard and at the International Dog Show August 2010. He is a sweet, happy dog with a desire to work and please. He has a calm, stable/ confident, outgoing temperment. Ivan has an infinate desire to chase and tug a stick outside and loves to play ball in the house, but he does have an off switch and is content to lay around when nothing is going on.

Xtra is at the top of the standard (24") black and red female with a gorgeous thick coat. She is pink papered and was imported by me from Kirschental kennels in Germany as a puppy. She is an active dog with a zest for life, she is very vocal and has good protective instincts. Although Xtra is always ready to go she too is a calm dog in the home. Unfortunately I did not train as planned with Xtra, but believe she would have done well at tracking as she showed good focus and food drive. As a puppy at training she enjoyed the bitework and consistently bit the rag, tug and sleeve. To see more pictures and learn more about Xtra click her name under her picture.
