Coal and Family at the Lake |
| V. Shap's Ebon Von Kohl "Coal" is a trusted and valued member of our family. Everything a good German Shepherd should be. He has a calm but assertive disposition. Although he is wonderful in the show ring he is also a no-nonsense protector of his people at home. He was handled and shown in 4-H by our then 11 year old son Dylan for his first year of life. Quite a feat and a tribute to his wonderful temperament considering he grew to an impressive 27+ inches tall, and now weighs a lean 100 lbs! He turns heads wherever he goes with his amazing presence. Highly intelligent and quick to learn he responds easily to any new training we introduce. Coal is very gentle for a male (except when biting the schutzhund sleeve!), and never requires harsh corrections of any sort which makes handling him a breeze. In his debut in the AKC conformation ring he took a first and second place in his class at two sanctioned shows. He will be entered in other conformation events in the coming months. In addition, we are excited to be working with a premier trainer from Germany this summer. UPDATE: The Bernard Flinks Seminar was AWESOME! COAL scored 9 or 10 on NERVES. Strong firm bitework and excellent COURAGE! We are proud of our beautiful boy! Coal is OFA pre-limed "good" and is available for stud. |
