The foundation of our males is built upon dog's proven for solid character, strong drives, strong/stable natural aggression/protection and tracking ability.
Longevity and health are also well proven within our breeding stock, and we’ve been blessed with numerous males reproducing past the age of 10 years.
*The precious blood of Czech Border Patrol Dog Tom z Pohranicni straze, renown for the number of Police Service Dogs he produced is present in our kennel through his son our foundation dog Rocky Venusina sopka (littermate's; Rex, Police Service Dog Czech Rep. & Rondo, Police Service Dog USA).
*Furthermore, to our knowledge Sapphire Shepherds is the only kennel in North America offering the prized genetics of two outstanding black & tan working dogs Czar (Balli Panta-Rei) & PSD Donner (PSD Iwo vom Rittersring DDR). These significant males have reliably & consistently produced quality working dogs.
