Santo is being prepared for our working dog breeding program.  He is a large, imposing male with strong bones, considerable head and dark sable color. He catches attention with his presence and character.  He is typical of the breeding of Rocky and Oresta which has produced many excellent working dogs for our program that have been very healthy with no hip or elbow dysplasia reported to date.
Through his father Rocky, he is of the 2nd bloodline founded by HETTEL Uckermark over the renown branch of GREIF v. Felsenstein, LOGAN Onix, AJO Ja-Kra, CAR pod Molnosskou banou, CORDON An Sat, TOM z Pohranicni straze. Santo has these excellent producing dogs within his fathers pedigree: IWO von der Buschecke, DRAGO z Humnan, CIR z Vrtovske doliny, AXA z Huckelovy vily, KASO z Pohranicni straze, CLIFF von der Mohnequelle, AXA z Blatenskeho zamku, and HOBBY Venusina Sopka.

From his mothers side he belongs to the 5th bloodline founded by Rolf v. Osnabrucker Land.  Oresta also brings in the very precious blood of former DDR dog - BERRY Christelas through Gero v Markersdorf. Other important ancestors:  INGO von Rudingen, Viktor von der Edelquelle, Bojar vom Schotterhof, TREU von Schaferstolz,

As to his overall working ability, it is excellent. Santo has very high ball and prey drive and at the same time he is naturally suspicious of strangers. He has properly developed defense drive and also has considerable retrieve drive. His natural aggression level is very high, as typical of Rocky offspring, with bite work that has full hard, calm grips.  He is a strong tracker and has strong hunt drive. Santo has excellent willingness to work with his handler.

As of August 2007,  Santo has been Narcotics certified through the Untied States Forest Service and tested under Patrol Captain Dale A. Brandebery, for Narcotics Detection which include the odors of LSD, Cocaine, Heroin, and Meth. Santo has also been certified in Cadaver Level 1. He has been trained and handled for cadaver by Ramona Helmer and was tested under Tri-State guidelines. He is now training in protection.

We expect Santo will produce healthy, darkly pigmented dogs with strong bones, heads and nerves for Law Enforcement work,  SAR and high energy level for top Sport.
