Sapphire Shepherds has imported this impeccably bred, ZVV 3 titled stud dog into the United States. This has been made possible by a consortium of people who share the same interest and  goals. Our focus, as always,  is to provide the German Shepherd enthusiasts with world class working genetics.

Lary is a strong, medium large, black male.  He is selected 1st breeding class with very good conformation. He carries excellent hips, clear elbows and is breed surveyed considerable hardness, courage and fight drive. His strength of nerve is outstanding.  He is absolutely 100% confident in every situation, and he exhibits this fully in his ability to quickly adapt to any new environment and new handler.  His working drives, as noted by Novotny are considerable!  Lary is a working dog that is very clear in the head. He does not attack without reason. His protection skills are excellent with bites that are absolutely full and strong. His jumps towards the handler are bombastic!!

Lary was utilized heavily for breeding in the Czech Republic.  He sired many litters for the world famous working dog breeding program, owned and operated by both the former head of genetics and director of training of the world-renowned Z Pohranicni straze (z PS) kennel. At the relatively young age of 5 -1/2, Lary has sired well over 40 working litters at various top breeding programs in Europe. Lary received his ZVV 3 title under the training and handling of Jiri Novotny. There are only a few dogs each year that are of high enough caliber to be able to obtain the prestigious ZVV 3 title.

 Jiri Novotny has this to say about Lary:

Hello Ramona,
He has gained ZVV3 in 2005.  I did it with him.  He is the only son of CAK with ZVV3.  His progeny I know has great retrieve drive, great biting and excellent working willingness. Their use is in S&R, Law Enforcement and top Sport. Lary has been used in different kennels.
Best Regards,
Jiri

Jiri has also stated to me in various correspondence that "LARY keeps the hips clean very well. His progeny is full of energy with good pigmentation,  great ball and prey drives and excellent biting. His progeny is medium large, with lot of energy and working abilities for any purpose. He has an excellent blood from both sides. I use him to breed to any line I have because he is a great refresher of my blood. "

Lary's bloodlines on both sides are strong. Lary's mother ONI Honajzer the result of beauty and top training is a strong, solid black female. She brings wonderful  working blood to Lary's excellent pedigree a 4,4 linebreeding on the exceptional producing stud dog INGO von Rudingen! Her grandmother, ASTA v. Hainecker belongs to 100% DDR (East German) blood going back to the best of the old vintage DDR stud dogs in history Don v Rolandsteich in her 3rd generation, along with v. Osterberg and v.Grafental lines.  Her grandfather EMON ze Znojemskeho hradu leads the old style show line over VILO v. Arminius a ZVV2 level dog. EMON himself had very nice IPO3, ZVV2 rating and in his time he belonged to the hardest protection dogs in the Czech Republic! ONI is a very well know and well proven producer of exceptional working dogs!!
Oni  is also the mother of:
Piko Bret-Bett: ZVV3, IPO3, FH1, ZPS2, ZPO1; Hips/Elbows:  a-Normal.
And  the grandmother of:
Atila z Kociciho dvora: ZVV1 (96/90/94), IPO1 (93/85/92), IPO2 (93/83/91), IPO3 (91/80/89), VPG1 (97/91/91), VPG2 (94/84/87), ZPO1 (92/90), Hips/Elbows: 0/0.
Both these males have been utilized as top producing stud dogs for the world renown working kennel which is owned by the former head of genetics for the z Pohranicni straze government ran kennel.

From his father's side, Lary belongs to the 6th blood line founded by Utz v. Haus Schutting over the great DAR z Przma and then DRAGO z Humnan over CIR z Vrtovske doliny over ABBE z Ansy and GERO Chmelovy kvitek to his father CAK Pisecna boure. It is worth noticing that all these ancestors represented the Czech Republic in top competitions and that almost all of them represented at FCI World Championship and WUSV Championship!

Lary strengthens bone structure and required pigmentation. He brings hard working blood refreshed with beauty. He has well demonstrated the ability to be bred to various lines with success.
