Blackthorn's "U" litter

Xita v Ludwigseck x Sumo vd Dewhaus

Born June 30, 2013

5 females, 3 males

This breeding combination brought together some of the top DDR and Czech working bloodlines.

This combination with should produce beautifully structured, medium-sized dogs with rich pigment (blacks and rich sables) with with plenty of drive to do just about any job but steady, confident minds. I expect pack/family oriented dogs with clear temperaments and exceptionally good judgment and adaptability--but these pups are also likely to have a serious side with strong guarding instincts.

Top DDR and Czech working bloodlines!

 
Sumo

 

 

100% DDR bloodlines

Xita was imported from Germany in summer 2010. She's got a rock-solid temperament with a clear head and strong natural defense.

She's impressed all who meet her with her soundness and excellent temperament--sweet when appropriate, but serious when it comes to protecting her people and space.

Puppies from her previous litters are working in SAR, herding, agility, rally, schutzhund, and training for Service Dog work, in addition to being excellent family companions. She passes on her excellent conformation, beautiful pigmentation, a strong desire to please and willingness to work with the handler.

Sire: Sumo von der Dewhaus

OFA Good Hips

Top Czech/German Working Lines

Sumo (pedigree) works in schutzhund and PSA. He is a dog who can do serious "for real" bitework yet socialize easily with new people, new dogs, and hang out on the sofa in the evening. He has extreme hunt drive and strong ball drive and has produced several puppies working in detection/SAR. Physically, he is compact and athletic--a very correct medium-sized dog with extremely rich black sable coloring and a strong, blocky head.

You can see Sumo working in several online videos:
