Santo is a medium large, imposing male with considerable head and dark sable color. He catches immediate attention with his presence and character.  He is typical of the 3 breedings I have done between Rocky and Oresta which have produced many healthy active working dogs. All pups from this particular combination have been healthy, with zero hip/elbow dysplasia reported to date. Santo is replacing his retired father Rocky in our breeding program. Santo has been producing progeny with drives that are very pronounced with stable temperament. His progeny are being prepared now in USA and  Canada for Police, SAR, family, SchH/French Ring.

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 brings in the 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,

Santo's overall working ability is strong. High ball/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, with bite work that has full hard, calm grips. He has good agility and super ground speed. He is a good tracker and has good hunt drive. Santo shows good willingness to work with his handler and sound social judgment.

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; MJ,  Cocaine, Heroin, Exxtasy and Meth. Santo has also been certified in Cadaver Level 1. He has been trained and handled for cadaver certification by his breeder Ramona, and was tested under Tri-State guidelines, and also trained in tracking.
