Blackthorn's "Y" Litter

Blackthorn's Solstice (Sunny) x Valentino vom Sontausen (Rudy)

born August 28, 2014

3 males, 4 females (blacks, sables, bicolors)

Litter Pedigree
(DDR and European working lines)

Sunny (OFA Excellent hips, Normal elbows, DM clear/clear) is a bicolor female from my S litter out of Jedi and Xita, and she carries many of the fine qualities of both her parents - a strong work ethic, good health, pronounced natural instincts, high pack drive, as well as good looks. She brings together top DDR bloodlines as well as strong German and Belgian working bloodlines. Sunny's litter has shown itself to be healthy, sound mentally and physically, and versatile. Sunny's siblings are working in PSA (personal protection), AKC obedience, tracking, agility, herding, SAR, serving as service dogs, and living as much-loved family companions. Sunny is a small female (about 55 pounds), lively and confident with medium+ drives, and amazing natural tracking skills. She will be working toward further titles in rally, obedience, tracking, and agility.

Rudy (OFA Good hips, Normal elbows) is a medium-large red sable male with great enthusiasm and high drive. He brings some of the best working bloodlines from Europe (German working lines) as well as a strong motherline proven to produce dogs for police work, SAR, herding, and schutzhund, among other roles. Rudy is working in AKC tracking, obedience, and agility, and has trained in herding too. He brings his great joy in working as well as his sound nerves and versatility to this breeding.

This litter produced medium-high to high drive puppies who should excel in dogsports and SAR work as well as being superb companions for active owners.
