Finess von den Wannaer Höhen Finess is a beautiful and substantial black sable female with tremendous working ability. A very confident, self-assured female, Finess displays incredible joy and enthusiasm when working. Finess has excellent obedience, including very fast and correct retrieves. Her tracking is very, very good. Finess also possesses a simply outstanding courage test. She has an extremely fast approach, jumps from an incredible distance, slamming into the helper while airborne, always with an extremely hard and full bite. Her attitude in all aspects of the work is extremely impressive. Equally impressive is Finess's pedigree. Finess is linebred 4-5 on Ignaz Obersholvnerweg , a Bernd vom Lierberg son. Finess's father is the reknowned Crok vom Erlenbusch , a Mink vom Haus Wittfeld son. Finess's mother is Olympia von den Wannaer Höhen, SchH2, ZB:V, a Blacky vom Neuen Lande and Deika von den Wannaer Höhen daughter. Finess has produced 6 outstanding litters for us here at Alyeska, and we hope to have one more before she is retired. Her pups have always been exceptional, and she has been bred to some amazing stud dogs, including Fado von der Lutter, Klicko von Karthago, Werner von den Wannaer Höhen and Volan von der Daelenberghütte. Her final litter will be bred in Summer, 2008, and will be sired by our stud male, Volan von der Daelenberghütte. This will be the third time we have repeated this breeding combination! We feel that, based on the progeny of both parents, this combination has the most promise in terms of creating the ideal working German Shepherd Dog. We expect the very best in terms of impeccable temperament, superb drives, outstanding stlaructure, incredible athleticism and the ideal balance of prey, defense and nerve strength. Our hopes are high and our fingers are crossed!! Luckily, Finess has the constitution of a 4 year old and the youthful mentality to match...in fact, Finess still trains in Schutzhund regularly and does wonderfully well with the Denali K9 Club.

Vashon is from one of the top working German Shepherd kennels in the world, Zwinger "von der Maineiche," in Frankfurt, Germany. Vashon is everything her pedigree and Maineiche Kennel's 30 years of careful breeding led us to believe she would be: a very high drive female with superior nerves and tremendous working ability. A very handler reponsive female, Vashon is extremely intelligent, very willing to please and highly trainable. She is also an extremly agile and quick dog, possessing incredible natural scenting and tracking abilities. She excels in obedience and protection as well, possessing an extremely full and hard bite and a very fast approach on the courage test. Vashon has very good hips, good overall heath, and is a vigourous female with energy and good attitude in abundance. Vashon gets along well with other dogs and with the family, possessing an exceptionally stable temperament.
Vashon is a daughter of Asko von der Lutter , the 2000 WUSV Weltmeister (World Schutzhund Champion) and German Bundessieger (German National Schutzhund Champion). Asko is retired now and is currently producing exceptional progeny and grand-progeny in Germany. He now gaining great acclaim as a producer of the same qualities which brought him so much success in Schutzhund championships. His sons and daughters, and their sons and daughters in turn, are showing his same aptitude for work, coupled with stable temperaments, very good hip health, and good looks. Most dogs who win at the world level never go on to produce this level of ability in their own puppies. Asko, and his bloodline, is becoming highly sought after as it becomes more and more clear that Asko DOES pass on his working ability and health in his pups, and most of his pups, in fact, exceed him in terms of structure and overall looks, with many sons and daughters V-rated (excellent) in conformation. Vashon's motherline is equally impressive. Her mother, Quana von der Maineiche,is a Neck von der Maineiche daughter. Neck was a multiple Bundessierprüfung (German National Working Schutzhund high trial) participant, and Neck in turn sired several Bundessiegerprüfung (BSP) participants, including the 4 time BSP participant, 3 time BSP V-rated Dasty vom HainPark . Quana is from a litter of 5 SchH3 males, several of whom also went to the LGA trials. Quana is linebred 2-3 on Xento von der Maineiche , a foundation sire at Maineiche Kennels and the 5th place sire of all time in terms of producing BSP participant progeny.
Vashon's great-grandmother (Quana's grandmother) is Rima von der Maineiche, a BSP participant and top brood female at Maineiche Kennels. Rima's litter brother, Ron, was also a BSP participant and well-known sire. Also in Vashon's pedigree can be found Andy vom Bildsäule , winner of the WPO (World Police Dog championships) and a top sire of his day of both police dogs and other working dogs. Andy's sire was the very famous Uwe vom Kirschental , and his grandsire was the equally if not more famous Drigon vom Furhrmannshof, 1976 German Bundesseiger with the amazing score of 299!!. Drigon is the top German Shepherd sire of all time for producing working champions and BSP participants. In short, Vashon has a pedigree consisting of some of the best-known older West German working lines available today. Vashon has produced 4 outstanding litters to date with three different sires.

Denali showing fine condition shortly after whelping a litter of 10 pups in 2007
Denali is a large, powerful and beautiful young bitch with wonderful vigilance, extreme awareness and high fight drive. Denali shows incredible intensity in protection, and in obedience she works simply to please the handler....no toys or other props are needed. Despite her impressive bone and size, Denali has outstanding conformation and is amazingly fast and agile. She has very high active aggression and will take the fight to the man. A naturally protective dog, Denali possesses an amazing, hard and full natural bite, very pronounced courage and intense loyalty to her handler. Despite all of this, Denali is not a hard dog. She is very responsive to her handler's moods and wishes and is always eager to work and to please. Denali exemplifies all of the best traits of her outstanding pedigree. Denali's mother, Xinet vom Getevallei, was a highly respected breeding bitch, noted for her incredible toughness. Her pups were sought after in her home country of Belgium and abroad, and for the past 4 years Xinet has been an equally spectacular producer for us at Alyeska. Denali's father is the very well-known, top performing Belgian schutzhund dog Xiggo vom Haus Sevens.
We anticipated that Denali would form the vanguard, along with her siter Draga, of our future breeding program here at Alyeska. In this we feel that Denali has surpassed even our own high expectations. Denali appears to have passed on her superb qualities to her first two litters, both sired by our stud male, Volan von der Daelenberghütte. These litters produced some of the finest pups we have bred here at Alyeska. They possess incredible drives and superb temperaments; in short, all of the things one looks for in a fine working-prospect pup. However, what is most notable about these Denali/Volan pups is the almost eerie intelligence, handler-intuition and trainability they all show, with this trait clearly evident as young as 8 weeks. Denali also passess on magificent pigmentation. and truly remarkable structure, with some of her pups going on to win in the conformation ring! Denali is due to have her third litter by Volan in November, 2008.
Denali's pedigree is "Fero, Mink and Lord Free."

BEWARE................DRAGON ON DUTY!!
Draga, a.k.a. "Dragon," is a large, powerful and extremely intense young bitch with incredible and often intimidating (to those just meeting her) presence. Dragon is currently a personal protection dog, and in this she excels. She is a female with superb nerve strength, is accepting towards welcome visitors, yet she is ever-vigilant and she knows her job and gives it utmost devotion. Dragon shows incredible intensity, highly developed protectiveness, and in obedience she is a natural. In addition to her impressive bone and size, Dragon has very nice working conformation and is amazingly fast and agile. She has very high active aggression and fight drive. Dragon has an amazingly hard and full natural bite, very pronounced courage and intense loyalty to her handler. Dragon is very responsive to her handler's moods and wishes and is always eager to work and to please. Draga, like her sister Denali (pictured above) exemplifies all of the best traits of her outstanding pedigree. Draga's mother, Xinet vom Getevallei, was a highly respected breeding bitch, noted for her incredible toughness. Her pups were sought after in her home country of Belgium and abroad, and for the past 4 years Xinet has been an equally spectacular producer for us at Alyeska. Draga and Denali's sire is the very well-known, top performing Belgian schutzhund dog Xiggo vom Haus Sevens.
Draga has had three litters to date, one by our stud Volan von der Daelenberghütte and two by our stud Cohen vom Adler Stein. We were pleased by her first litter, pups showing boldness and extreme intelligence. We were even more impressed by the Draga and Cohen litters. These pups, at 12 weeks, have structure, pigment, bone, and the phenomenal drives posessed by Cohen, which seems to have mixed exceptionally well, due to Cohen's prepotence, with the seriousness, handler-responsiveness and intensity of Draga. These pups have a pedigree rare in today's working dogs, being Fero, Lord and Mink-free and yet going back heavily on the Lierbergs ( Bodo, Bernd, Dix and Gin) and other top working dogs in the 6th and 7th generation, dogs one rarely sees in even well-bred working pedigrees closer than the 10th to 15th generation. We really look forward to seeing how these promising pups turn out on the Schutzhund field and in SAR. We expect great things.
Draga is one of our best Personal Protection Dogs. She whelped a litter by our stud Volan in September, 2008.
Draga's pedigree is "Fero, Mink and Lord Free."

Engel is a super product of our breeding program here at Alyeska. Her pedigree speaks for itself. It is simply world class. Engel's parents, Werner von den Wannaer Höhen and Xohra von der Daelenberghütte, were two of the finest dogs we have ever had the pleasure of owning. Both were tremendously prepotent in breeding, so it is no surprise that Engel is such a superb female. We consider Engel to be the ideal breeding bitch in terms of balanced working drives, size, structure and overall temperament. Her first litter, by our stud dog Volan, was born in 2006. A rowdier and more spirited bunch of pups could not be asked for! Engel is a wonderful mother, very natural and easy with her pups. We were very pleased with the results of this combination and we are equally pleased with her October 1, 2007, litter out of Cohen. Engel will be bred to Volan again in 2009.

Galil is an explosive daughter out of our world class stud dog,Werner von den Wannaer Höhen and our exceptional-producing female, Finess von den Wannaer Höhen. Galil exemplifies the extreme drives, trainability and solid nerves sought after and required in today's working dog. Galil is a correctly-sized medium female, extremely compact, fast and probably the most agile female we have ever seen. She has incredible drives for food and toys, has a superb nose and has very good civil aggression when appropriate. Galil has already produced one very nice litter of social, stable, beautiful pups with superb drives for work and with the solid temperament to back up those drives. We look to Galil, with her outstanding working qualities, her world class pedigree and her outstanding grace and structure, to be one of the spearhead females in our future breeding endeavors. Galil produces pups with very strong nerve strength, sociability, unbelievably high prey, defense, and hunt drives and outstanding conformation and agility. We plan to breed Galil to selected outside males, in order to bring desired new bloodlines into our breeding program. We consider Galil to be an ideal female to both retain the qualities we bred her for and yet bring in the qualities of the stud males and their lines. Her first litter proved that she is a very good female for combining with certain unrelated lines and we look forward to another promising litter with Galil and Fox vom Alyeska or our stud, Volan, in 2009. We have also reacquired a son out of Galil's first litter with Klicko von Karthago, and we are thrilled with the quality of this young male, Phelan vom Alyeska, seen on our Males page.

Xinet is a very serious and athletic bitch with wonderful drives. Xinet's pedigree contains some of the best working lines in Belgium, and Xinet has had superb litters to date, proving that she passes these same excellent qualities in her bloodlines to her pups. Xinet's father is the very impressive WUSV competitor, Ugo vom Burenswald. Ugo comes from very powerful working bloodlines, with his sire, Igor von der Herdgang, not only producing top competition dogs (WUSV participants), but also police dogs and KNPV dogs. Igor's dam and grand-dam are also KNPV titled (Dutch Police dog program). Igor is a son of Fado von Karthago, 1989 WUSV World Schutzhund Champion. Ugo's dam, Pia Akbar, has also produced World Championship competitors when bred to other studs, thus proving her prepotency in passing on superior working traits. Xinet's mother, Tascha von der Getevallei, a Link von Muikenshof daughter, was a top SchH3 working female in Belgium, known for her seriousness in the work. She passed on this trait to a high degree in her progeny. Xinet's maternal grandfather, Link von Muikenshof was a five time World Championship competitor and winner of the WUSV Championships in 1991. We will be forever grateful to Maurice Donders for selling us such a superb bitch.
Xinet von Getevallei at 8 and 1/2 years of age, 5 weeks pregnant in this photo.
Xinet had 7 litters in total, 3 in Belgium with her original owner, Maurice Donders, under the kennel name "Getevallei," and 4 in the United States, bred by us, under the kennel name "Alyeska." Xinet consistently produced, in all of her litters, excellent working pups sought after by people from all parts of the world. We are very pleased by this oustanding bitch's contribution to our breeding program at Alyeska! We currently have two Xinet daughters out of Xinet's first Alyeska litter. This litter was sired by Xiggo vom Haus Sevens. These two super females, Denali and Draga, will, hopefully, form the vanguard of our attempt to pass on Xinet's strength to yet another generation. Both Denali and Draga are very powerful and intense and are in every other way very much like their mother. We could not have been more pleased with the temperaments and drives displayed by Xinet's pups. The versatility (yet consistency in quality) of Xinet's progeny is literally amazing. Xinet has produced top level Schutzhund dogs as well as Police K9s, SAR dogs and Military dogs as well as weight-pulling dogs, pulka sled racing dogs and home companions and protectors. And now, as of August 2007 we have a new male and a new female for our breeding program. Our Alyeska "W" litter, sired by Cohen vom Adler Stein, produced very promising puppies, and in choosing Witt and Wasabi we hope to take what is best of both Xinet and Cohen and continue this powerful combination for generations to come!

Xohra comes from one of the top kennels in Belgium, Kennel "von der Daelenberghütte." Xohra was a working security K9 in Belgium and a successful brood female at Kennel Daelenberghütte, the daughter of Belschik vom Eichen-Bruche and Rani von der Daelenberghütte. The combination of the bloodlines of Belschik and Rani produced two simply outstanding litters, the "V" and "X" litters "von der Daelenberghütte." An extremely attractive, richly pigmented black and red female, Xohra is no exception to the quality found in those litters!! Xohra's breeding is world class. Her pedigree contains three World Champions, Bundessieger winners and many other Bundessieger and WUSV participants. Her Grandfather, Blacky vom Neuen Lande was World Champion in 1994 and Bundessieger winner in 1992, and her father, Belschik vom Eicken-Bruche was a World Championship competitor in 1996 and a BSP competitor in 1996 & 1997.Xohra's mother, Rani Von Der Daelenberghütte is one of Belgium's top producing bitches. She has produced super high drives in all past litters with natural full grips. She is the mother of Tell von der Daelenberghütte, who placed 3rd at the 2000 USA National Championships.
Xohra and her ancestors are products of their breeding, not simple products of luck. Xohra's Great Grandfather, Link von Muikenshof was a five time World Championship competitor and winner of the WUSV Championships in 1991. Xohra is a full sister to Xamm von der Daelenberghütte, who is reknowned as one of the best dogs in Europe. Xamm was sold to top breeders/competitors in England, and is now the most sought after sire for producing dogs, for both police and Schutzhund, in the UK. Xohra's brother Vasco is the leading sire of police dogs in Canada, with over 200 pups bred in last year alone! Xohra is also a full sister of Vicky von der Daelenberghütte, considered by many to have been the best and toughest female in Belgium during her competition years. Vicky has subsequently gone on to become a superb producer. Xohra also has proven her merit as a superb producer, and her puppies have been sought after by purchasers from all over the world. Xohra has a pedigree consisting of THREE WORLD SCHUTZHUND CHAMPIONS in the first 5 generations. Xohra is linebred 4- 3/5 Gildo vom Körbelbach and 4,5-5 Matsch vom Bungalow. We feel very grateful to have been given the chance to own this wonderful female.
