"Blitz" is a
conformationally correct working line German Shepherd dog. Blitz was started in personal protection, including
gunfire, muzzle work and multiple man attack. Blitz has a full, powerful grip and works with a good
balance of fight and defense. Blitz's power in the grip can only be described as
extreme, having broken multiple sleeves.
At his
third year, we decided to switch him to the schutzhund competition world and
obtain his Korung. Blitz went from SchH I 286 to SchH III 287 in one summer. Now
retired to house dog status, Blitz
is multiple times SchIII. Helpers throughout the region loved to work him
because of his powerful grips and fight drive. Blitz's powerful grip and work
ethic, comes from his strong pedigree. Blitz lines go to Harro, Lord Gleisdrieck, Astor vom Schelmenturm and Elvis vom
Gruntal. Blitz is multiple
times V rated in the working class conformation events. In fact he has always V
rated at conformation events. His conformation is backed up by his powerful
working ability. Blitz has been bred several times to outside
females and has produced his attitude for the work as well as his conformation.
To all of you
who knew him, Blitz bloated and twisted his stomach on Sunday afternoon at
7:00p.m. We ran him into the Veterinary Emergency Services where he had surgery
performed. On Monday afternoon Blitz was recovering, still at the vets office,
and at about 6:00 his great heart gave out. The vets did all they could but he
couldn't be saved. Blitz was Karolyn's first dog in the sport of Schutzhund. The
two of them learned so much, so fast as their bond together carried them thru
everything. Blitz and Karolyn earned their B thru SchHIII in one year. Their
SchHI was an SG score with a 100 in tracking and their SchHIII was 288 high in
trial. Blitz was always V- rated conformation, and multiple times SchHIII. Even
more important than all of Karolyn and Blitz's achivements on the field was
their bond off the field. Blitz was Karolyn's fully trained personal protection
dog, her car buddy, and if you can ever have a soulmate who is a dog, Blitz was
Karolyn's soulmate. You would never find Blitz anywhere away from Karolyn. We
always called him the VISA dog because he was always everywhere you wanted to
be. Blitz loved the new baby too. He was constantly trying to cuddle with Ryan,
making sure we knew when Ryan was crying, and keeping all the strangers away
from Ryan when they came to visit. It's hard not having him underfoot anymore.
FLINK WIE EIN GEOLTER BLITZ V-Rated, SchHIII, Kkl1 for life.
April 19th,

Karolyn's
dog forever in her heart and soul. He will be sorely missed by all of us.
