 Breeder Handler Owner Trained (BHOT), shown and koer'd by Gabor Szilasi

Griff is a large powerful blanket black and tan substantial male with an outstanding German working line pedigree and a strong natural drive for work. He has a very athletic, strong and agile body; he exhibits quick movements with power, joy of work and intensity is shown in all three phases. He has very strong focus and willingness to work with the handler.  He has very strong drives and high energy for the work in obedience and protection.

Like his 1/2 brother Quasi, Griff's obedience is extremely accurate and attentive with absolute focus. His grips are always full and his guards for the decoy 100% intense and attentive. This is a type of dog that works the helper, not the helper work him. He is always ready to go to work, but can turn off when off the field and interact with adults and children. That off switch has been lost in so many sport only dogs today.

Griff's sire is Ängsbackens Rosso, WUSV VICE CHAMPION 2006 and WUSV CHAMPION 2007, SCHH3, BHP3, IPO3 Kkl1.  We have had the great pleasure to be able to watch Rosso complete and also win the 2007 WUSV with a V score overall/V in all phases; Tracking 100 pts, Obedience and Protection 97 points.   Beautiful and intense work to watch! 

Griff's dam is Tina von den Wolfen.  She is a V Falk von der Wolfen daughter; same pedigree, different litter to V rated Falko vom Wolfsblick Sch 3.  Falk was bred, trained, and shown by Thomas Lapp (trainer, breeder, helper, World competitor, SV judge) of von den Wolfen (Germany). Falk is the sire of numerous titled dogs, BSP and LGA competitors; he was the most bred working dog in Germany 2004 and his progeny are active in the sport.

Falk competed in the FCI world Championships in 2004, the VDH DM 2004 and the BSP 3 times (2002-2004), placing 9th 2003 and BSP V protection scores all years. 2008 WUSV (World Championships).  In 2007, Falko vom Wolfsblick won the BSP as well as competing in the FCI and WUSV World Championships, and again competed in the BSP and WUSV in 2008.

Griff has a strong genetic foundation to reproduce his temperament and strengths.

Fresh, chilled semen is available.
