Petra's offspring have been placed worldwide in a variety of homes: SchH (National level), Search & Rescue, Herding, foundation stock for working breeding programs, and family protection / companions. Petra's genetics have been recognized and used through her son CZAR of Sapphire Mountain by the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police Dog Breeding Program) who are among the Clients of his collected semen.
Petra is an extremely elegant strong boned female with a beautiful DDR head type and an excellent conformation rating. Petra is a typical daughter of Gero z Blatenskeho Zamku. Gero was the top producing Stud Dog for The World Renown Czech Border Patrol in Czechoslovakia, famous for imparting his offspring with great hardness and courage. Petra's bloodlines are excellent. Through her father she is of the bloodline founded by Utz v. Haus Schutting, including many top producers of working dogs: Kass v Furstendamm, Klara z Pohranicni straze, Jaso z Pohranicni straze, Netka z Pohranicni straze, Majka z Blatenskeho Zamku and Bojar v. Shotterhof. Petra’s dam Ajika z Jirkove Dvora was a primary breeding female for the famous z Jirkova Dvora kennel. Bred to Gero z Blatenskeho Zamku, this cross became a proven top breeding combination that was used consistently as it produced very strong working offspring. This match was designed by the head of genetics for the z Pohranicni straze kennel. The pedigree behind Petra is an excellent example of out crossing, incorporating a percentage of West German old show bloodline into this pedigree resulted in bringing balance and diversity to a very intense group of Czech and DDR dogs. It also improved upon beauty and structure. This bloodline goes back to perhaps the most important dam in modern times Palme v Wildsteiger Land and includes other dogs such as Fedor v. Arminius, and Ux v. Kirschental.
