 Youtube german shepherd tracking video Link - Alfred av Stavanger Aka Larry We've added a tracking page to the site. Click on the Youtube link to see a video of Larry tracking at 2 years old.

We were really excited to review Larry's tracking video. It is yet another confirmation that he is a natural in his scent work. He is a dog that has high food drive, is very curious, enjoys using his nose and shows really nice problem solving skills. We track once a week at most. But hope to get more training in during these unusually superb tracking conditions.



Wow - Young dogs from our A-litter are already 2 years old!

So, we were out training and Larry decides to strike a pose...good thing for cell phones with photo capture. This is obviously not a formal German Shepherd stack, but it is a good example of a correctly structured working GSD and what a working dog looks like when sporting all the training gear.








Congratulations....Ava gets her BH!

Our hats off to you Diane on accomplishing Ava's Basic Schutzhund Obedience title and temperament test through the DVG Ponderosa Dog Club! Even though it was frigid cold she passed her BH easily while showing off her beautiful out-of-motion sit and out of motion down exercises. It's hard to believe this little trouble maker that wouldn't stay in the whelping box is already on her way to bigger and better things in the dog sport world. We wish the best of luck and lots of success to this Schutzhund team and once again thank Diane and Jay for giving this little girl a super home.





"Larry" gets his BH
 
Alfred av Stavanger - 19 Months



I guess we are on a roll! My "little - Big Guy" showed himself well even
though we were not planning on trialing yet. We were encouraged by club members to enter the trial due to a last minute drop out. Larry passed
his BH under SV Judge Frank Mensing with Very Good comments. We are
 very proud of Larry since he had never done the full BH routine during
training. He also spent most of that day in 100 degree weather, practiced
protection & obedience and still had drive for the work during a sweltering evening trial. He had a few hiccups during the routine, but that was to be expected of this young male.





More Good News!

HD-Zuchtwerte / HD - Breeding Values

More good news for hip evaluations. The (SV) Verein für Deutsche Schäferhunde posted the3rd quarter HD- Zuchtwerte results. Pups from the first breeding (Kway vom Posthorn and Gjeter av Xazziam) were given a ZW score of 80. Not only are we seeing Normal hip and elbow production. But we are also seeing a genetic predisposition for dogs that have a sound orthopedic foundation.

The Breed Value Score System was originally used to determine the genetic inheritance of polygenic diseases in livestock. It is a system adopted by various countries to reduce genetic diseases including hip dysplasia in small animals.

 Because breeding parents with Normal hips does not guarantee Normal hip production the Breed Value score system is also used by the SV as an additional method for calculating hip dysplasia reduction in the German Shepherd Dog. The hip score system is based on family inheritance of the disease and not exclusively based on an individual dog's hip x-ray evaluations.

A hip score of 100 is average for the breed. Any score less than 100 is considered better than average for the breed. Any number greater than 100 is considered worse than average. The goal when using the ZW system is to use two breeding partners that average less than 100. The lower the score the better.
