Jerzey is an extremely powerful and intense dog. He is strong and determined. He has high food drive, high ball drive, high prey drive, high defense, med/high hunt drive, med/high energy, and a great nose for tracking. He works both in prey and defense, but primarily works in prey. He is quick and precise with obedience but also has a lot of aggression and loves to bite. He can handle a lot of pressure and excels in a Malinois dominated sport. He is incredibly smart and biddable. He enjoys affection from his circle of people. Off of the field, he is goofy and loves to play. He would excel in any protection avenue I chose- personal protection, IGP, ringsports, and would have been a good detection dog too. He is a lot of dog and not for someone inexperienced with the breed. But, day to day he is extremely easy; he is clean and quiet in the kennel/ non destructive and he settles well in the house. His bite mechanics are some of the best I have ever seen in the breed, and in general. He has strong, full, deep, pushing grips. I am beyond blessed to have him as a part of my program and as my sport dog; he has a lot to offer the breed especially for GSD's in suit sports.
Jerzey's littermates are all doing well in family homes. His two brothers live with small children and are great family dogs. One sister dabbled in protection, one brother dabbled in IGP, one sister does agility. All of his littermates as well as his parents are social with people.

SIRE: SG LANZO VAN ARNE'S HOEVE AD, BH, MR1, IPO1, IPO2, IPO3
Lanzo Van Arne’s Hoeve is described by Brian Aghajani (Trainer, Author, & Photographer) as follows:
"Lanzo Van Arne's Hoeve, MR1, IPO3, SG KKL is the Bo Jackson of Working Dog Sports. Bo Jackson is the only athlete in history to be named an All-Star in both baseball and football, and one of few to do so in two major sports.
Lanzo arguably did the equivalent in the world of dog sports by competing at nationals in both IGP (IPO) and Mondioring. In November 2017, Lanzo earned 6th place with 89/93/90 272 P at the USCA IPO Nationals. This by itself is an incredible accomplishment. But owner Samantha Barnes had the goal of also competing at the Mondioring Nationals. The GSD breed does not commonly compete in Mondioring, Malinois have an advantage due to being lighter and quicker. But Lanzo has an advantage over most GSDs, as he is compact and Malinois like quick. It took 12 months for them to make it happen. Lanzo is a son of Quardes von Der Staatsmache, who has sired Debby vom Eisernen Kreuz, the 2017 WUSV World Champion, as well as Dexter vom Eisernen Keruez who is a US National Champion. He was handled by Brad Hardin; they were the only alternate breed (non-Malinois) at the 2019 USMRA National Championships. They didn’t just show, they delivered! They took home 2nd Place in Level 1 with 182 points."
I had the privilege of meeting Lanzo for myself in person and even at 9 years old he was extremely sharp, quick, intense, and had beautiful obedience and protection.

Description by: Brave and Faithful K9
ERRA MARCONA is a highly titled Czech Import. One would need to search world-wide to find a working-line female that could equal her accomplishments. The titles that she has obtained are enough to showcase her amazing abilities. Under the training and handling of Antonín Hanzal by the young age of 22 months old, she had passed 10 working exams including top IPO3, ZVV3 ("Only 3 to 5 dogs yearly attain the ZVV3 title. This title includes long, detailed tracking phases, full obedience and extensive protection on and off leash" Ehert German Shepherds), and FH2 and has since added FPr1, 2, & 3 titles to her resumé. Erra’s breed survey results are excellent as well: Breed Survey: 5JV1/P.
Erra is an extremely dark sable and is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. She is V4rated (Excellent in Show) and has a beautiful head. Her temperament is EXTREMELY CONFIDENT; and yet, she is very social. Not only is she a fantastic sport dog, she is also a very REAL dog.
Erra has had exceptional progeny in the past; several having gone on to be very successful in the working world. Erra's son, Henry Marcona, obtained his IGP3, ZVV3, & FH2 by the age of just three years old!
Her pedigree is OUTSTANDING and, without a doubt, contributes to her many successes. She comes from Czech bloodlines with proven workability and excellent health.
I had the pleasure of meeting Erra on two separate occasions. When I first met her, it was when I picked out Jerzey. She is incredibly sweet and social, and wanted to just play fetch. The second time, I got to see her work and my husband John worked her himself. She turned on immediately and her genetics really shown through even though she had not worked in a long time. She has crushing grips and is a powerful female.
