Degen is lightning fast on his escape.

Degen is a 5 year old male from our D-litter!

He is an extremely fit and powerful dog, approximately 29" tall and a lean 85 pounds. He has a thick and coarse black coat with medium furnishings.

Degen is CERF Normal, OFA Hips Good and Elbows Normal.

Degen is a very affectionate dog with a willing nature. He lives to play ball or retrieve of any kind. He is extremely athletic in spite of his large size.
Degen is focussed in tracking, responsive in obedience, and fast and powerful in bitework.

In 2005 Ron trialed Degen under Gottfried Dildei for his BH, in 2006 under Hartmut Beckmann and Lisa Little for his VPG A and in 2007 under Ann Dolan for his VPG 1. In 2008 Degen achieved his VPG 2 under Fred Marashi. Degen was "pronounced" in his TSB rating. See below for definition of this important rating.

Degen's calm, affectionate, and extremely stable temperament will be an asset to any breeding program. His work ethic is unquestionable and his conformation is excellent. You can see more about Degen's pedigree, and photographs via the links below.
