Xando vom Haus Leigbiter

 
Xando and Cindy

Xando is a son of Pam Hanrahan's international competition dog, Endy v. Svenshome. Endy and Pam won the 1998 Schutzhund USA Nationals and USA North American Championship. They also competed in the World Championship 3 times.

Xando has inherited his dad's full and hard grips and exceptional tracking ability. We have heard that Endy is one of the best tracking dogs to ever compete in this country and hope to see this passed down to future generations of Leerburg puppies.

Xando is a medium sized sable dog with a nice head and correct structure. He has a nice dark eye. He has impeccable drive, work ethic, and natural aggression. His grips are genetically full, deep and hard. He has passed selection testing for police service work, does excellent body suit work and is a naturally civil dog.

He is naturally protective of the home, vehicle, and handler. Both Bernhard Flinks and his helper Alex worked the dog in our fall 2003 seminar and agreed that this dog would be excellent for breeding, police work, or high sport. They also agreed Xando is a high drive dog that is VERY serious with full, hard and calm grips.

Xando has been used in our breeding program with great success, he is producing good hips and excellent drive for sport or law enforcement.

Below is a Testimonial for a Xando puppy:

Received a Ana/Xando male puppy ~ DOB 6-7-04

Ed,

I just wanted to let you know I picked up my Ana/Xando male puppy up at the airport on August 5 and I was very pleased. He seemed very unaffected by the flight except that he seemed very excited to have someone to play with and bite on afterwards. When I let him go to the bathroom outside the airport, a plane took off nearby and he seemed to not even notice despite the loud jet engine noise. The car ride home went uneventful except that he wanted to keep looking out the window the whole way. Once at the house he took to it like he'd always lived there. He naturally seems to like people and he runs right up to them confidently tail wagging high. Every day he seems to become more of an alligator with those little puppy teeth and he seems like a bundle of boundless energy. He naturally seems to go for a full mouth bite when he goes after my hand, arm (or whatever else he's going after) It's going to be a real pleasure training and working with this dog.

I'd also like to compliment your staff, they made the whole process very easy. Cindy, Stephanie and Caya were a big help in the process and Cindy was very prompt to respond to any questions I sent her.

Thanks again Ed, I'll also send a picture as soon as I can.

PS. The green ear is a real conversation starter.
