Tikka & Brinks Litter is Here! Click for Journal entries and photos.

Tikka is out of our male Aiko's first litter. She is from a litter of 8 pups, 2 of whom are bomb detection dogs. Another full brother from a repeat breeding is also a bomb detection dog and worked at the ports in Vancouver all season.

Tikka is striking in appearance and she has a temperament to match! She loves to work, play with her best pal, Riggs (our Border Collie) and loves to cuddle with anyone who will allow her to! She loves people and other dogs, traits essential to the German Shepherd breed.

She earned her first CKC herding title at the age of 8 months of age and 9 months later earned her first U.S. herding title. Tikka is worked /trained in boundary/tending work. Work the German shepherd was originally bred to do. She is worked regularly on my herd of sheep and we hope to trial in the higher levels this coming summer.

Through her sire, Aiko, Tikka goes back to Condor v Hohenstamm, Fenga v Kirschental and hence Racker v Itztal. Racker brings in some wonderful bloodlines with great working abilities. Vefa v Kirschental brings in Bernd v Lierberg in the 6th generation as well as Blanka v Mummelsee which is a superb working combination. Aiko's tail-female-OUT line is pivotal in bringing in great working ability and drive as well as stable temperament. The most influential 'key position' in Tikka's pedigree is held by Amie v Kirschental and Ben v Thuringian (from her dam Abby's pedigree), thus bringing forth some outstanding working abilities plus biddability and trainability.

Tikka's dam goes back to some great German Shepherd dogs like Anderl v kleinen Pfahl, Jordan v Kirschental, Seffe v Busecker Schloss, Zello Blue-Iris, and Mike v Bungalow, plus the 'B' litter Lierberg several times (Bernd and Bodo). and Centi vd Ruine Schonrain. Schonrain brings in the backbone of the old HGH herding lines. You also see Valet v Busecker Schloss and Vello zd Sieben Faulen multiple times in Tikka's pedigree. Valet, Vello, and Bernd/Bodo passed on 'genetic obedience' and genetic love for working.

See List of German Shepherds in Tikka's Pedigree at page bottom. Their names are links to their pedigree in the German Shepherd pedigree database.

Tikka is the embodiment of the German Shepherd dogs in her pedigree. She has outstanding working ability, natural herding instinct and a nose that never stops. In addition her structure is very correct! Brains and beauty, the ultimate combination.

Her hips and elbows are x-rayed. My vet said her hips were excellent and she has normal elbows. She is certified through OVC in Canada for both.
