I would officially like to welcome Kara von Hoch Raiffeisen to my kennel, who came to me as a surprise, she was not planned, however always meant to be here, to be a part of my family. I acquired Kara at 2.5 years old, she did not have much training, and she spent most of her life living in an outdoor kennel. With my pack of unaltered females, retired senior females, and young pushy puppies I was most definitely worried about integrating Kara, and making this a successful home environment. None of what we have achieved so far would have been possible without her impeccable character and temperament. Impeccable, is an understatement for Kara; she is neutral, not reactive to dogs or people, she is smart, observant, affectionate, willing and has settled down on the family couch like an old timer. But, do not let this 'couch' statement fool you :-) She can go 0 to 100 in a matter of seconds and work all day if need be.

​

Kara completed her show rating, and her character test with me under the SV Judge Robert Lang. She placed SG1, 'Very Good' & 1st place in the Open Female class, with four other dogs in the ring. She passed her character/temperament/suitability test with flying colours and truly made me proud to be her handler. She is brave, driven, calm, intelligent, resilient, and has excellent environmental awareness. Her WB Character Assessment Video is linked below.

Kara, comes from an SV-WUSV Performance Breeding, this means both of her parents were fully health tested and titled prior to breeding. Kara herself is fully health tested, her dentition is documented and certified on her pink papers via SV (Germany) for missing P1's, and via the WUSV GSSCC (Canada) for missing P2's due to previous injury. I also completed the optional LTV/LUW, lumbosacral transitional vertebrae test for her privately via the DZG, and Dr. Bernd Tellhalm, and she was evaluated with Type 0, or normal lower spine, as well as her SV DNA is now also officially On File. All progeny from Kara is eligible for WUSV/FCI events. 

Imported from Germany, Kara is a stable and secure dog with a clear head. Kara is neutral around strangers and does not seek affection from new people, rather she is extremely handler oriented.
