Sarge is a handsome dark black sable male, of pure DDR lineage. He is in training for Narcotics Detection and Apprehension work.  Possessing an excellent temperament, he is agreeable, willing and ready to work and will be certified as a working K9 in 2014.  
Sarge's dam is DDR female Ittiana von Schraderhaus HIC  . Ittiana is one of our own progeny out of Franzi vom Grafental x Sven Grafental, both SCH3, KKL1 and V Rated in working structure. 

Sarge's sire is our Pure East German DDR Stud Lux vom Kameruner Eck.  Lux is V Rated, Sch3, KKL1 for Life.  Imported from Germany, Lux's pedigree is excellent working lineage of Pure DDR/ East German bloodlines. His drive for the ball is intense, and in protection work he comes at the helper like a rocket. with excellent civil and defensive drive.  Lux's temperament is very solid and he is an attentive dog to the handler, always striving to please. 
 
Sarge's Grand Sire, Tino vom Felsenschloß was a highly sought after sire in Germany, siring excellent working progeny. Lux is a grandson of Lord vom Gleisdreieck, well known for imparting excellent working drives into his offspring,  particularly for tracking and protection work.  These genetic scenting and tracking abilities come through loud and strong in Lux's offspring, and Sarge is no acceptation to this,  showing a very strong and deep nose for scent work.  Two half brothers of Sarge are SAR dogs in Oregon, one of which is WuffJager.

DDR Lines to Jeff vom Flamings-Sand, Blacky vom Gleisdreieck, and Ingo von Rudingen (credited for producing some of the strongest structural health for the working German Shepherd gene pool, vastly improving upon pigmentation and working abilities).
