THE SHEPHERD BOYS....

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 her 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 three 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??

JAKE

DOB: 4/11/07  AKC and UKC Registered
AKC DNA Profile, Microchipped, Tattoo 

Our imported sired male from our 2007 IgorxAva litter is:
UKC Ch 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! 

Jake's OFA page is: http://offa.org/display.html?appnum=1311372#animal

Jake has been colored tested through HealthGene and is white-factored and black-factored.  He is also potentially long-coat factored since his sister Zelda is a long-coat. 

< NEWSFLASH: Jake is OFA EXCELLENT on hips and Normal on elbows and shoulders. Jake's sisters Tasha and Zelda also have OFA EXCELLENT hips.  And Jake's half brother Crosby also has OFA EXCELLENT hips.
