Zawadi is the successful product of two decades of work here at our kennel to produce the ultimate working dog. Zawadi is what happens when a program has an unwavering commitment to genetically design the animal needed to contribute to a true goal that never changes. Never about points and trophies, Zawadi combines Schutzhund, Police K9, KNPV, West German, Czech, Belgian, and DDR, etc. into what was envisioned and designed to be a superbly genetic male German Shepherd Dog, and that he is! Zawadi is a substantial, large, powerful, driven, athletic, incredibly intelligent working dog of extremely sound mind and body. Solid black, intelligence like few others, and a warrior in his heart, he has impressed all who have seen him. A European Judge referred to him as the “Schwarz Teufel”, which means the “black devil”. A USCA Teaching Helper who caught him on a longbite said he was a “rocket powered Brinks truck”. A WUSV qualifier watched him work and said, “I’m kind of embarassed to get my dog out after that.” Everything Zawadi does is a clear, conscious decision. A true thinking animal, when as the helper I do anything to try and trick him, Zawadi will pause, his eyes slowly tracing over where I’m at, his look will change, and he will then solve the problem in a way I’ve rarely seen before and come at me with full power. (A 5 month old Zawadi son recently observed us doing Narc K9 training and came over and showed in step by step detail to us how to load the box and where to place the ball, etc, and was reliably indicating five narcotic odors in about 5 reps!) He has a remarkable relationship with his female handler and on a whisper of her voice will turn to her direction like an obedient soldier. But when sent by her to do his job, he comes in anger with shock and awe bitework of unstoppable determination. I have personally witnessed him take more stress and pressure in one bitework session than some see in a career, and it have no effect. Biting is always extremely full and calm, crushing hard, and a literally perfect hold. V rated and Kkl1, with top drives, top intelligence, drive and commitment and power, health, and pedigree to die for… Zawadi is like no other. Looking at Zawadi’s pedigree answers how this magnificent animal came to be. Zawadi is a son of Fyke van’t Leefdaalhof IPO1 and V Laila Belle von den Sportwaffen IPO3, FH, Kkl1, BHOT, Narc K9.
