Handra is a very special German Shepherd Dog. She is powerful and substantial, of perfect medium size, with a nice broad chest and excellent bone strength. She is very deeply pigmented with a rare blanketed color pattern and wonderful warm apricot markings. We are very excited with her rare - for a pure working line dog - show results!

Handra’s pedigree combines some of the best working dogs of Germany and Belgium. She has very intense and very balanced drives – something that many German Shepherd Dogs lack today. She has rock-solid nerves, is very outgoing with an open temperament, and she is the most athletic and agile dog I’ve ever seen! Her drives are unbelievable, but at the same time she is not hard-headed at all. Training with her couldn’t be easier, as she is willing to do somersaults for a ball. Her “Setz” and “Platz” are lightening fast, and she shows great speed during recall and send-out exercises. Not every male has a grip as full and hard as Handra’s!

Handra’s father, Klicko von Karthago SchH 3, (SchH3: A:100 B:93 C: 96 = 289 , A-Normal, ZW 77) was imported from the famous German working line Kennel “Karthago.” Klicko is the full brother of Kimbo von Karthago, who placed 32nd in the 2002 Bundessiegerprufung! Klicko is a large and very substantial stallion type male with incredible presence. In protection, Klicko possesses an amazing grip and incredible power. Klicko's bloodlines are also very impressive, with lines to Mink, Crok, Gildo, Afra, Xando and Timmy! Klicko has already sired many successful litters in Europe.

Handra’s mother, Xinet von Getevallei, is an import from Belgium, a very serious and athletic bitch with wonderful drives. Xinet's pedigree contains some of the best working lines in Belgium: Igor von der Herdgang, Fado von Karthago (1989 WUSV World Schutzhund Champion), Link von Muikenshof (1991 WUSV World Schutzhund Champion). Xinet's father is the very impressive WUSV competitor, Ugo vom Burenswald SchH 3 IP3. Xinet has had 6 superb litters to date and has produced top-level Schutzhund dogs as well as Police K-9s, SAR dogs and Military dogs.
