Lucy is a daughter of my old police dog Bravo. He was an excellent police dog whose brother was in the Bundesieger 3 times.
Lucy is a black and red bitch who carries her color from the Kirschental blood in her mothers pedigree. Her mother goes back to Uwe Kirchental who produced a bitch that won the Bundessiger back in 1986. we was an excellent producer of working dogs - his father (Enno) won the bundessiger. I personaly worked Enno in a full bite suit back in 1978 when he was here in America..
Lucy is a little sharp, but excellent temperament with intense prey drive. She recovers quickly from stress (i.e. corrections). She passes her prey drive to her pups. When bred to a nice working dog with sound nerves she has produced excellent looking working dogs - black and deep red dogs.
Lucy bonds very tight. she will be an excellent addition to any kennels breeding program. she produces good hips and really nice dogs. Just have a look at her daughter ( Ursa v. lerburg ) - who we just sold .
Q&A on sales restriction:
Ed-
I understand your reasoning on your restricted puppy policy, however, how do you decide which litter to place it on? After 4 weeks are they then LESSER (the ones that have been passed over for various reasons) pups at a less costly price? This is not meant to be a flame, but something I am curious about. Take care Ed. Your reputation is second to none, and yes I have purchased many of your tapes, I'm a satisfied customer!

ANSWER:
It’s a crap shoot for me. It is not because I think one litter is that much better than another, because it is not. So I just pick one and go with it.
After breeding as many litters as I have bred, I have very consistent litters.There is not very much difference in temperament or type. So while I see where you are coming from in thinking the end of the litter may not be as good - you are wrong in your assumption - at least from my kennel anyway. 99.9999% of the time the difference in how my dogs end up depends on the work the puppy owners put into the puppies and dogs as they mature. In other words it comes down to handlers and their commitment to training and not the capabilities of the dog.
I just finished breeding another female this morning and I have two in season. So there are a number of litters coming up. I would like to pick one or two of them and have the same restriction but I do not have a clue which one it will be right now.
My biggest concern is how many dogs I sell that I think are great great dogs - that go into pet homes or personal protection homes and they are never seen by people (other than neighbors and friends) or they are never bred - so in effect from my standpoint they are wasted.

TESTIMONIAL:
August 3, 2001
Just got my net connection back up and running. I like the new addition to your site. The discussion board should prove to be quite interesting.
Chance (Lucy x Ron) is doing fine at 20 months. The kids in the neighborhood just adore him and love to come out and pet him. He plays well with the neighbor's kids and has turned out to be a very loving puppy. He seems to have stopped growing at about 100 pounds. His coloring is a stunning dark, red sable and often draws comments. He is a confident, slightly dominant dog. He is also a very happy dog and it shows. He takes corrections well and comes back quickly. Usually -- the last time he went off to exercise cats and improve their tree-climbing skills, he was strongly corrected all the way back to the yard. He sulked for about three days after that.
His basic obedience is pretty good. We still occasionally have some issues with off-lead recalls under strong distraction (cats). I may have to go to an electric training collar to resolve that. However, his 'walking' manners are excellent. We usually move off to the grass to let people pass. Chance (and Dallas, when she stays with me) immediately wheels, prances to my side and parks in a sharp, straight sit with his ears pricked forward. It really impresses folks. Guess they aren't used to seeing smart, well-behaved dogs.
Looks like he is probably ready to start working obedience in groups of dogs. The local kennel club does obedience run-throughs a couple times a month. It would be a good idea to take him up there and work him a bit. SAR is still an interest. However, there is not much call for it in this area. When they do bring dogs out, it is usually a cadaver search. Mostly, it seems be a way to get the dogs out in the woods for training and exercise.
Dallas (Gayle Dixon's dog & one of your old foster family dogs) still gets to visit on a regular basis. The dogs really look forward to each other's company. The only thing that excites Chance more than "Dallas is Coming" is "Walk".
