Balli was owned by Sapphire Shepherds. His pedigree represents the ultimate collection of top working lines. Primarily the line of Ingo v. Rudingen (former East Germany), along with blood of v. Kirschental, renown for breeding dogs used for guiding/protecting flocks of sheep. There is extremely old Czech & Slovakian blood, that represented in majority of dogs from CZ & SK who regularly took part in GS World Championships (WUSV).
Among many successes of these lines, it is worthy to note 2 of his half-brothers placed as two most successful competitors in NAPD/National Assocation of Police Dogs.
Balli himself showed very high working drives, hard defense & perfect tracking, titled with following results:
IPO 1 - 94/82/100. IPO 2 - 100/86/100. IPO3 - 88/84/98
Balli was a perfect stud dog, capable of everyday training with valuable balanced character. He performed all disciplines with full assignment. He had absolute solid nerves!
Balli was a truly exceptional black & tan working dog and he produced them. He was a healthy, long-lived dog into 13th yr.
