OFA Good Hips/Elbows

Top West German/Belgian working bloodlines

Jedi is from the final litter of Nike and Ash--a combination which produced balanced high drives, high trainability, several pups certified in SAR work, strong herding instinct, and keen intelligence--as well as good overall health and a strong hip production record! Puppies from his first litter are training in AKC obedience, herding, treiball, and several are service dogs in training (mobility, seizure detection). He has produced super nerves, medium/high prey drive, excellent trainability, and delightful temperaments.

Jedi is absolutely sound in temperament, excellent with strange dogs of all sizes and shapes, loves kids, and is bombproof in temperament. He has strong working drives with an excellent ability to harness those drives to work all day long but to settle calmly in house and car. He is a working herding dog and competes in AKC, AHBA, and USBCHA herding trials.

100% DDR bloodlines

A daughter of our imported Xita, out of a male in Germany, Oda is linebred on some of the great DDR producers of the last 20+ years. Oda is from a litter that demonstrates its sound nerves, excellent self-confidence, and great willingness to work with the handler through the versatility of jobs they ended up doing -- from herding to mobility service dog to therapy dog to competition obedience, as well as family companions with a natural love of children.

In addition to overall good health and strong genetics for good hips and elbows from a litter strong in its hip production, Oda brings very correct and sound conformation, solid bone, and gorgeous head and expression as well as moderate drive, high trainability, and excellent natural instincts. She is currently actively training in herding and will be working toward further titles in herding and AKC obedience/rally. She is a correct medium-size, about 65 pounds.
