Our beautiful white male from the 2006 HugoxAva litter is:
WGSDCA BOSPISS, UKC GRAND CHAMPION Worrywort Bada-Boom Bada-Bing VCC, HIC/d/s
Or Crosby for short...as in Bing Crosby.
(As a wee-pup, Crosby would dance and sing for his dinner!)
Crosby is part of my Foster Program.
Crosby pictured at 13 months of age.
Crosby is not only Show Champion titled but is Herding Instict tested with sheep and ducks. (Must run in the genes from his mother!) Crosby's sister, Aspen received her UKC Show Championship title at 6 months 8 days of age. Quite a feat for such a young dog! Notably, Crosby finished his championship shortly after his sister at 7 months of age. Excellence runs strong in this line!
He is one large STUDLY, CUDDLY male!
Crosby's OFA page is: http://offa.org/display.html?appnum=1248886#animal
< NEWSFLASH: Crosby is OFA EXCELLENT on hips and Normal on elbows and shoulders. Crosby has four half-siblings that also have OFA EXCELLENT hips. Excellence does run strong in this line!
Less than 4% of shepherds get an EXCELLENT rating...this is the highest rating one can get on an OFA hip xray. Check out the statistics.

< NEWSFLASH: Crosby is normal on the OFA Degenerative Myleopathy DNA test. According to OFA, a normal parent will not produce an offspring affected with Degenerative Myleopathy. Crosby is also clear on the Degenerative Myleopathy Flash Test! SHOULDN'T YOUR PUPPIES BE DM FREE??

Our imported sired male from our 2007 IgorxAva litter is:
UKC CHAMPION Worrywort CJ Jackal The Great VCC, HIC/d
Or Jake for short.
Jake is part of our Foster program.
One can not show a dog and earn points to their championship until they are 6 months of age. Jake finished his championship at 6 months 3 days of age. QUITE A FEAT!!! Jake is Tasha's and Zelda's brother...he is 1/4 Czech Pohranicni Straze Border Patrol Lines. These bloodlines were acquired from the former DDR (East Germany) and Czechoslovakia in 1955, to serve Border Patrol. The dogs are unique with their strong nerve, large bone structure, dark pigment and willingness to work defense, obedience and tracking. They are the total companion - alarm system - bodyguard, all in one package! We are very excited to have them as part of our breeding program. Jake is part of my Foster Program and lives with a family with a few young children. I have "accidently" stepped on his foot with no repercussion.
He is one STABLE, IMPORTED LOOKING male!
