Ghira vom Klingsgarten VPG2
Ghira is an almost 6-year-old (May 25) female weighing 66 pounds,
standing 25" tall. She is OFA Good Hips and OFA Normal Elbows, CERF Normal. Ghira has a long, black hard coat with plenty of furnishings. Ghira is independent natured, very spirited and a wee bit stubborn. Ghira achieved her VPG1 with Ron Murray in September, 2008 and her VPG2 in September 2009 where she was awarded the SG rating and High in Trial.
Ghira is athletic and powerful and has a nice balance of prey and defense drives. She's very sharp and possesses superior hunt drive. If you desire a hard dog you will want a puppy like her mamma! :)

Degen von der Leidenschaft VPG2
Degen is a 6-year-old male weighing a lean 102 pounds standing 29" tall. He is OFA Hips Good, OFA Elbows Normal and CERF Normal. Degen has a thick black almost woolly coat with sparse furnishings.
Degen has a very laid back attitude and is very affectionate. He is very sound of nerve, I can't think of anything that bothers him.
Degen is very athletic in spite of his large size and has great endurance. Degen's prey drive is phenomenal. He is sound in tracking, solid in obedience, fast and powerful in his bitework. Degen will trial for his VPG3 and IPO3 this fall.
This combination is producing fantastic dogs with excellent drives and work ethic, stable nerve and reliable temperament all rolled into sound structure.

Maternal Grandsire Igor von Hatzbachtal was imported from Germany to the US and worked as a narcotics detection dog for over 9 years.
Paternal Grandsire Falk vom Weseler Wald worked as a police dog with Rolf Wassmuth for many years.
