Moira Upcoming Litter

Moira (FO, P1, PD1, HD-normal, ED-normal, DM-clear) is scheduled to be bred to Ken von der Grube Waldecke (Sch3, KKL1, FO, P1, PD1, HD a-normal and ED normal) in March/April of 2012.

We are very excited about this breeding. Moira has produced pups with solid temperament and good to exceptional drive. She is a big, solid boned female, as is Ken. Both dogs have great nerve and have very nice civil side. With their perfect "off" switches, this should make for a great litter for working homes in both sport and police work, as well as family and personal protection homes.

INFORMATION ON THE PARENTS:

Moira is a nice working female with good drives and desire. She is a very VERY nice sport dog who is more than willing to commit fully to the work, but, the best thing about her is that she can turn it off too. She is very solid in her nerve - she doesn't let anything bother her much. She is GREAT with people showing no hesitation around strangers. She is also trustworthy with kids as well. The one complaint that I can see with her is that she is NOT great with other dogs. She is a very dominate female and likes to "throw her weight around". (And, she is a pretty good sized female.) We will be carefully watching for this trait in her pups but as of yet, they seem to be very social and good with other dogs. We are carefully choosing males for her that are NOT Dog Dominant.

Ken is also a nice working male with solid nerve and commitment. He is great with both people and other dogs but will not be dominated. He is out of nice working lines himself and shows an ability to pass on his traits to his offspring. He has very nice drives, both prey and civil, and an ability to turn them off and on as needed. We are very happy to have had this opportunity to make this breeding and will be holding a pup back out of this litter for ourselves.
