Litter Born October 31: Six Males, Four Females: Males and Females Available

This is a repeat of the A-Tanzania Litter-2023. Those pups are now two years old, and I really liked what I saw from all of them in terms of drive, grip, nerve, workability, environmental stability, and social. All of the pups from the last litter could have worked in various high drive sports or jobs. That litter produced one dual purpose patrol K9 in WA, one anti-poaching tracking K9 in Tanzania, one dog working in tracking/narcotics detection, and two lovely very active family pets.

I expect this litter to produce dogs with high prey drive, twitchy to the bite, less on the defensive aggression, high hunt/ball/food drive, genetically strong trackers for real world work, strong nerve, biddable but can take a correction without melting, full and firm grips, environmentally sound, and social with people. Puppies will be suitable for French Ring, Mondio Ring, PSA, tracking/SAR, detection, and very active experienced pet homes. Preference will be given to working homes.

I will be keeping back a female for French Ring and to continue on the lines in the Nine Realms GSD program. I will also be keeping back two males as dual purpose patrol dog prospects for Nine Realms.

Alizeh is a taller female with a sqaure, athletic frame. She will hunt for her ball and work all day long if given the chance but settles in the house. Alizeh is a dominant and harder female. She takes hard corrections without folding and handles pressure well. She has no handler aggresion but can be choosy with other dogs. High drive and energy, she would have best been suited to work all day everyday as a detection or tracking dog instead of a schutzhund dog. French Ring or Mondio probably would have been a better sport for her with her twitchy grips, big jumps, and high prey drive. Alizeh has genetically full and firm grips on a sleeve and suit. High prey and low defense with solid environmentals. She is social with people and confident in all locations. Her pups are best suited for working homes, protection, law enforcement, or sport. Alizeh has achieved her UPr1 (the obedience phase of schutzhund/IGP), and SPr1 (the protection phase of IGP).

Kovacs was purchased to be a dual purpose patrol dog for LE. He quickly stole my heart with his drive, tracking skill, and INSANE full and hard grips.

He has full, firm, and HARD grip on a sleeve, suit, and hidden sleeve. One of the hardest biting German Shepherds I have worked and seen. He can handle a lot of pressure from a decoy without issue. Excellent on and off switch and balance in protection and very clear headed. Extreme ball drive, high hunt drive. Kovacs is a tracking machine and he tracks on hard surface like there are neon arrows pointing him where to go.

Kovacs is social with all people and with other dogs (males, females, and puppies). Clean and quiet in the crate/house, has an off switch in the house, rides great in a car. Environmentally solid on slick floors, stairs, tight spaces, uneven surfaces, elevated spaces, dark rooms, gunfire, etc. He is very in tune with his handler and in no way handler sharp or aggressive. This is a go anywhere do anything dog. He could have been a police dog, personal protection dog, sport dog, or even a service dog. He is that well rounded and clear.

Kovacs holds a Patrol Tracking title certification through the American Society of Canine Trainers International. He and I ran this certification completelty unknown, 0.87 miles over gravel, grass, packed dirt, urban areas, raod crossings, and woods.

July 2024 Kovacs earned got his second leg of his French Ring 1 and closed out his Ring 1.

September 2024 he earned another French Ring 1, getting second place in the trial.
