 Rhea is a elegant, medium large, female with beautiful
expression and sable coloring. A very healthy female who is
OFA certified
Excellent Hips and Normal elbows. She is a very nice representative of
what her parents (Rocky and Warna) combined genetics have brought into our breeding program, healthy
hips/elbows (no hip or elbow dysplasia reported to date from this combo) and
strong working dogs with much drive and trainability. Rhea is a female that is
always ready for work showing great agility, speed and willingness to
work with the handler. Always beautiful, full eye-contact every time I
work with her. She is a passionate retriever, has very strong prey drive,
is very intelligent and performs all
commands with great joy. Her hunt drive is outstanding, her natural
aggression is high but also has great social judgment and is easily
controllable. In all environments and situations, her character
is confident and full of enthusiasm. Rhea picks up new skills amazingly
fast (both mentally and physically), always a joy to work with and is one of the smartest dogs I have seen
in my program. Rhea has offspring currently being prepared by
experienced handlers/trainers of GSD's for a number of working
areas; Search and Rescue, top sport, detection, service dog
for hearing impaired.

 From her sire's line Rhea is from the 2nd
bloodline founded by HETTEL Uckermark to the renown working branch
over GREIF v. Felsenstein. Rhea has these significant
ancestors in her pedigree: DAR z Przma,
IWO v.d. Buschecke,
CORDON An-Sat,
TOM z Pohranicni straze
and her father our
ROCKY Venusina Sopka. Rhea is a typical daughter
of Rocky from
which she inherited her great agility, strong retrieve drive and natural
aggression.
From her dam's side she is from the 3rd.
bloodline founded by KLODO Boxberg. She is a typical representative
of her great-grandsire's
GRIM z Pohranicni straze line, over her significant grandmother
DARKA z PS, and mother, our
VARNA z Pohranicni straze. Other important dogs in
Rhea's pedigree are: the great stud dog ARGO z
Travnickova dvora, and ARYS z
Travnickova dvora who is famous for his progeny possessing certified
excellent hips and elbows. Rhea is very valuable as her
grandmother, DARKA z Ps comes from 6th generations of puppies that
all had excellent hips and elbows along with her mother VARNA z Pohranicni
starze, and all her littermates certified excellent hips and elbows.
From her mother, Rhea inherited her high working drive, perfect boning
and temperament.
Rhea's mother
VARNA z Pohranicni
starze was not only a exceptional producer for our breeding program ,
she also produced 2 excellent litters overseas: From her breeding with
Furo Kamos she produced the well known EX z Jirkova dvora.
Her breeding to Ory produced: AGAR-sluzebni pes
PCR-SPV, ARCO-ZM, BH, ZVV1, FPR1, IPO2, VPG1, ZPO1,
and ARKYN- ZM, ZVV1. I was very blessed to have Varna
in my breeding program. |

Email received 6-16-2007:
Hi Ramona - just thought you'd like to see how Zoot is growing. We're taking him to Schutzhund practice and have
decided to leave him intact. He has quite a personality and we couldn't be
happier with our choice from your litter.
Thanks,
Chuck
Email received 10-25-08: Hi
Ramona, I thought you might like to see a
recent picture of Zoot. He will be 3 in Dec. He's a wonderful playful
house dog with a great personality. He loves kids... and all our students
love him too when they come over for sax lessons. We are totally satisfied
as he is a big part of our family. He's well trained, smart, and very
fast. We decided not to get him fixed. Just thought you'd like to see him,
Thanks again. p.s. his weight stays around 80 lbs.
