Description
This breeding brings together carefully selected working bloodlines, proven dogs and generations of outstanding pedigree. The herder side combines two males, Tank and Devil, while the bull side has been selected for soundness, athleticism, confidence and stable temperament.
TANK
BRN 54896
He is a powerful and substantial male with heavy bone, complete environmental stability, outstanding determination and a naturally confident, clear headed character.
He is a direct son of Pablo van de Zilveren Loop, KNPV PH1 with honours, who scored an exceptional 429 from 435 and ranks among the highest scoring FCI Malinois brought into the UK and Ireland.
His grandfather Arco van de Zilveren Loop placed fourth from 40 dogs in the KNPV First Reality Contest.
Tank is heavily linebred 3,4,5 on the legendary Dackx Perle de Tourbière through three different Dackx sons, Arco, Napoleon and Kuerras van het Groot Wezenland.
Within Tank’s first six generations there are 39 PH1 appearances from 28 different PH1 ancestors, including six documented PH1 440 dogs.
The pedigree includes Guido van Valesca’s Home, PH1 440, second in the 2012 Dutch PH1 Championship and winner of both the 2013 National Stud Dog Competition and the Geulle Trophy.
Xirdo achieved PH1 440, PH2 455 and Object 356 and became the 2005 Dutch PH1 Champion.
Cobra achieved PH1 440 and became the 2004 Dutch PH2 Champion and 2003 Dutch Object Champion.
Quatro achieved PH1 440, PH2 455 and Object 355, with top three Dutch Championship placings across all three programmes.
Spike achieved PH1 440, PH2 453 and Object 355.
Ezra achieved PH1 419, PH2 440 and Object 400 and placed fourth in the 2012 Dutch PH2 Championship.
Arrack’s Home Kamatz achieved PH1 439, PH2 454 and Object 356 plus 25, alongside two major 440 point wins in 2006.
The pedigree also carries Grietje van de Zilveren Loop, Henk of Barking Stars, Daneskjold Lupus, Zot and Marv Variety, bringing together generations of respected KNPV and European working sport bloodlines.
Tank has competed publicly with very little trial specific preparation. Every Tank offspring entered into competition so far has placed within the top five, showing the consistency he is passing on.
DEVIL OF DK9 (Sire)
BRN 52712
Devil is a direct son of Bomber of NEF WorkingK9 and a grandson of Berry II, one of the most proven and influential KNPV producers of his generation.
Devil’s first six generations contain 65 PH1 appearances from 48 different PH1 ancestors, with 36 PH1 positions appearing in the sixth generation alone.
He has 19 repeated ancestors within those six generations and is heavily linebred 2,4,5,5 on Berry II. Bram appears at 3,4, Manni and Dyna at 4,5 and Django four times at 5,5,6,6.
Berry II won the 2010 National Stud Dog Competition with 419 points.
Django achieved PH1 439 and PH2 454.
Dino achieved PH1 440, PH2 450 and Object 354 plus 25 and placed second in the 2007 Dutch PH1 Championship.
Jessie achieved PH1 438, PH2 451 and Object 353 and became the 2002 Dutch Object Champion.
Roy achieved PH1 434, PH2 469 and Object 354 and became the 1987 Dutch PH1 Champion.
Rocky achieved PH1 435 and became the 1996 Dutch KNPV PH1 Champion and Overijssel Champion.
Rico I achieved PH1 435, PH2 475 and Object 356 and became the 1992 Dutch PH1 Champion.
Victor achieved PH1 425 and Object 355, placed fifth in the 2003 Dutch Object Championship and won the National Stud Dog Trial in both 2004 and 2006.
Manni achieved PH1 435 and Duco II achieved PH1 with honours with 428 points. The pedigree also carries Bram, Quincy, Max, Cora and both Rico dogs.
Devil placed third in a puppy trial at only 14 weeks old and later placed second in the long send at 14 months. Those results are only a small part of what he has demonstrated since:
2nd in the Trials and Tribulations class
4th in the Lorockmor puppy class
10th in the Silver Class at AVD (the youngest dog to compete)
ZWD levels 1 and 2.
He is an athletic, fast and highly committed dog with excellent confidence, natural enthusiasm and a strong willingness to work with his handler.
Most importantly, Devil is already proving himself as a producer. He is passing on confidence, athleticism, natural engagement, stable character and consistency, with multiple offspring already placing in working trials.
THE BULL (Dam)
The bull side has been selected to the same high standard, with careful consideration given to soundness, health, athletic ability, confidence and temperament. It has not simply been chosen to add size, colour or appearance.
The aim is to produce genuine Bullherders combining strength, athleticism, environmental confidence, trainability, loyalty and outstanding presence.
This breeding has not been put together simply to produce large dogs carrying the Bullherder name. Every part of it has been selected with purpose, using quality dogs and generations of respected bloodlines.
These are intelligent and active dogs intended for experienced homes that understand the importance of correct training, socialisation and structure. In the right home, they have the potential to become loyal, well balanced companions as well as capable sport or working dogs.
