Vashon is from one of the top working German Shepherd kennels in the world, Zwinger "von der Maineiche," in Frankfurt, Germany.

She is good with other dogs and with the family and she has an incredibly loving, loyal and stable temperament.

ARIK VOM ALYESKA, A 3 YEAR OLD VASHON SON
(FREI VON HAUS SMITS x VASHON VON DER MAINEICHE}

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. This quality is evident in all 4 litters Vashon has produced to date.
