Raven is due in heat in
February 2010. Raven is by far, my most
proven female. She consistently throws
solid, healthy pups that are known for their
ease of training and superior hip scores.
Raven is a third generation Sequoyah female.
Her grandmother was my foundation female.
This foundation was first and foremost build on
hips, health, and orthopedics. At 7 years of age, Raven is still
capable of going over my 5 and 6 foot fences.
She does not climb them -- at 72 pounds, she
jumps 5 feet in the air from a flat stand still.
She has the grace of a cat and her landings are
effortless.
Raven tends to throw large, blocky males,
with solid square heads. Oddly enough, she herself has
a more narrow head. She is a heavy boned and well
muscled female and tends to add size to her males pups,
while often, the females are only average sized out of her
breedings. This fact has been very beneficial in that
she has produced several Search and Rescue females (in which
size, health, and ball drive are all key features).
Her pups also tend to be excessively dedicated to their
owners.
By breeding her to Wasko, we expect to
produce males that are larger and masculine but very
athletic. We are anticipating an improvement on
genetic bites (a weakness of Raven), an improvement in ball
drive (though Raven's pups are often ball fanatics), and
retain a civil side to the pups (from Raven) with an
increase in toughness (from Wasko). We are currently
planning on keeping a couple of pups ourselves out of this
breeding.
Both parents have very solid dispositions
and are known to produce this same dependable attitude in
their pups. They are healthy, strong dogs with great
hips scores. The pups should make good family or
working dogs.
This litter
is being bred in February for:
*Health,
Health, Health!!
*Exceptional Hips Scores
*Balanced
drives for Competition, Working, or Family Homes
*Solid,
large boned pups
*Ease
of training and a willingness to work!!
*Very
strong loyalty to their owner.
