Akeelah's dam is Lusy Naspo, a lovely solid black female imported from Eurosport by owner Bob Pac of PacHaus K9. Lusy is completely focused on the work and learns incredibly quickly. We searched for a good female to breed to our late male Norbo in the hopes of producing a son from the mating which would be of the same quality as was our Norbo, and were extremely pleased to choose Lusy Naspo  V Rated, SCH3,  KKL1 as the dam for our 1st litter by our late Norbo von Schraderhaus. . Conceived via surgical insemination with frozen semen from his late father Norbo.  Norbo's first son, Norbo Den-Lu and the siblings Bojek and sister Akeelah produced within this litter are wonderful representatives of the breed and possess all the traits that we strive to produce in our offspring.  Lusy has been trained and earned her working titles with owner Bob Pac, who is her Handler/Owner/Trainer (HOT). To date Lusy has obtained her Sch 1, Sch2, and her Sch3 in 2009.

Akeelah's grandsire is the legendary Norbo Ben Ju...6 time WUSV competitor on the world Team for Czechoslovakia, Norbo Ben Ju has been one of the most influential producing stud dogs worldwide for the original working German Shepherd Dog. He is truly one of the finest producing stud males to ever be imported into the United States and has earned his place in history for improving upon not only the working ability of the original GSD but for imparting strength in structural integrity to his offspring.

Akeelah's granddam, Denny Jipo Me is one of the finest daughters of Gero z Blatenskeho Zamku (výborný, ZVV3,  IPO3, SchH3, FH, OP1) . Denny is the product of the exceptional breeding between Gero and the foundation female for the Jipo-Me kennel, Zeira Jirkova Dvora (velmi dobry, ZVV1, 0/0). Zeira was noted for passing on to her female offspring excellent temperaments and warmth in character, characteristic retrieve drive, and excellent overall working abilities.  Some examples of these fine dogs include greats such as Gero z Blatenskeho Zamku, Omar z Blatenskeho Zamku, Treu v. Schaferstolz, Iwo v.d. Buscheke, Whisky v. Ritterberg, Bojar v. Schotterhof, and the well known Czech working female Klara z Pohranicni Straze who has been noted here because of her long list of super strong working offspring. Other greats include Arko vom Gräfental, (one of the last DDR Bundessiegers before the wall came down in 1989).
