Cento z Pohranicni Straze

This is Ina's sire. He is an import from the famous Czech border patrol army kennel Pohranicni Straze in the Czech Republic. Cento comes from a long line of famous stud dogs that have proven to produce some of the hardest working dogs in Czech and Slovak history. Cento is owned by Susan Eviston of Von Grunheide German Shepherds in Washington State. There he is part of the police dog breeding program and has produced many dogs that serve the RCMP and Vancouver Police Department. Ina definitely got her daddy's great head, but in a more feminine version of course!
(Sad news: Cento was put to sleep due to prostate cancer. He was 10 years old.)

This is Ina's dam. Her call name is Maxy. She is a great all around bitch with a very sound temperament that she passed onto her puppies. She is a certified therapy dog and has achieved her first Schutzhund title, now working on her SchH2. Maxy lives with her family in Nanaimo and has three of her very own children that love her dearly. She is such a lovely dog, Ina has inherited many of the fantastic qualities that make Maxy such a great family companion and working dog.

What can I say about my Ina-bean? She certainly is a one in a million kind of dog!! She is strong-willed, pig-headed and full of herself. She does what she wants to, when she wants to and the only reason she listens to me is because she has to!

Ina is a beautiful, streamlined German Shepherd weighing in at 60 lbs. She has a very expressive head type with the most amazing eyebrows you have ever seen on a dog. As a working dog Ina has all the qualities I could have hoped for, but for one thing: she is displasic. Because her hips are not good, she has been moved into a pseudo-
retirement and works mostly for the fun of it. Some days are good and some days are not so good... it all depends on her mood and what kind of discomfort she is feeling that day. But regardless, she will sell her soul for a bite and is truly a ton of fun to work, so it would be unkind for me to retire her completely. She would go crazy!!

I lost my baby girl very suddenly on May 9th, 2011 to meningitis. My time with her was too short. She was stollen from my and I will never forgive life for taking her so soon and so tragically. My heart feels like it has been ripped from my chest and set on fire.

No dog will ever come close to replacing you, Ina Bean. I love you and mourn you every single day.

You were, and still are, my everything.
