NATASHA of SAPPHIRE MOUNTAIN
|
|
 Natasha is a strong, medium large, dark sable female from our
3 x Rocky
/ Oresta breeding combination. Typical of this breeding, Natasha carries
considerable working drives. Her favorite working disciplines are
protection which is very real and hard, and tracking which she performs
with great enthusiasm. Ball, prey and retrieve drive are all very
strong. She is territorial of her home and surroundings showing a nice level
of natural suspicion for strangers. She is a dog that is
very self confident with a lively-playful character and solid temperament. |

prepared for certification in Cadaver and Wilderness Trailing by Ramona. |

From her sire's line Natasha is from the 2nd
bloodline founded by HETTEL Uckermark to the renown working branch
over GREIF v. Felsenstein. Other significant ancestors from her
sire's side are: KASS v
Furstendamm,
IWO v.d. Buschecke,
DRAGO z Humnan, CORDON An-Sat,
TOM z Pohranicni
Straze.
Natasha
is a typical daughter of her father
Rocky Venusina Sopka, from
which she inherited strong retrieve drive and aggression level.
Natasha's mother, our
ORESTA z Dalub Bohemia
has been not only a exceptional working dog but an exceptional producer
for our program. She
brings the blood of the 5th line founded by
ROLF v. Osnabrucker Land, and the precious blood of V
BERRY v. Christelas
and V GERO v. Markersdorf. Oresta, like Rocky also carries the
excellent working blood of DAR z Przma and Vilmar z Marusky
(great grandsire of Cordon An-Sat). Natasha's grandfather,
FRAM z
Dalub
was a National Participant for the World FCI team and was also a
National Participant for the World WUSV team.
From her mother, Natasha has inherited her attractive color and high
trainability.

TREU v Schaferstolz: 5 , 6 /
IWO v.d. Buschecke: 5 , 6 /
DAR z Przma: 6 ,8 - 6 /

VILMAR z Marusky: 6 , 7 / and VIKTOR v.d. Edelquelle: , 6 - 7.
Offspring from our
3 x Rocky / Oresta cross has not produced health problems, hip or elbow dysplasia to date. They have produced many
working dogs that are actively working in detection, search and
rescue, agility, obedience, working dog breeding programs, SchH and in
family homes also. Please see below.
We
look for Natasha to produce offspring with dark pigment, strong bones, and
very high working drives for a wide range of use
from sport to the Law Enforcement
dogs.
