Andi, dad
German Shepherd
About Andi
SG Andi Mersak BH/VT, IGP 1 SV “A” Stamp Hips & Elbows, DM N/N, DNA on file, sable only, long coat carrier
IGP 1 – 93/ 90/ 100 SG
Son of world champion, Gero z Berounske basty IGP 3, 2021 WUSV World Champion, 3X Slovakian National Champion, 4X WUSV
26in at the shoulders 80 lbs Andi was imported from Europe after receiving his IGP1 where he scored an impressive perfect score of 100 in protection.
Andi is environmentally sound- neutral to gunshots, lawnmower, fireworks, vacuum, etc. He is confident in new places, small areas, on slippery surfaces and neutral to other dogs, livestock, and nonthreatening strangers. He is extremely dog neutral, and super easy to live with. He loves to carry toys everywhere; and when no toy is available he will find his own (boots, sticks, or anything he can find out in the yard. He is one of the most loving dogs we’ve ever owned. His favorite thing to do is give hugs. He has high food and prey drive. He is a very methodical tracker. He has high possession with a toy but lets me freely take it. He has a goofy, playful side with other dogs. He is a calm, yet dominant male and has a presence about him. He loves to work, and will work in obedience freely for anyone. When working, Idoll is focused and serious. His obedience is nice and accurate, he is always very happy and engaged. His tracking is methodical and he reliably indicates articles and follows through corners. Watching him track is truly a beautiful sight to see. He strikes very hard in bitework with full grips, and would do bark and holds all day in a blind if I let him. He will come off the field from working protection and crawl in peoples lap for love immediately after, and has a very nice off switch. He has a nice masculine head, and thick chest. His gait, structure, and expression are beautiful. Andi can only produce sable offspring, and carries the gene for long coat, he is DM clear. He has been producing biddable pups suitable for working and active pet homes.
