Eeve Van Den Heuvel

       

Eeve, age 3

Eeve is a high energy, high temperament black sable working female sired by Xero z Pohranicni Straze, top producing stud male of the Czech Border Patrol who in his lifetime was declared a treasure of the Czech Republic.  Like her legendary sire, Eeve gives her all in every effort asked of her, and imparts all that she is to her progeny. 

Eeve's pedigree is a wonderful example of strong and proven working bloodlines properly combined to produce exceptional working progeny. On her sireline she goes back on Grim z Pohranicni Straze, noted for imparting hardness and extreme drives correctly balanced with character and intelligence. Her dam, Froxy z Esagilu, was a top-producing daughter of multiple Czech National Competitor Bambi Algrad, ZVV3, son of the highly titled Certified Police Dog and Multiple Czech and Slovak National Competitor Arys z Travnickova Dvora.  Other notable dogs in her pedigree are Gent od Policie, (sire of our foundation stud male CONGO VIKAR,) Ford vom Ritterberg, Gomo v. Schiefferschloss, and 5 time Czech National Competitor Drago z Humnan.

Eeve is one of the most highly intelligent working canines ever produced by our facility. Like her half sister, Elsa, Eeve has an intuitive intelligence and problem solving ability. She is a thinker, a canine who can truly work independently and who will never tire or quit when encountering an impediment, nor does she become frustrated or agitated - she "works the problem."  Many clients who own Eeve's progeny have commented on the intelligence of their dogs.

Eeve's character is very warm and open with her handlers.

She exhibits an extraordinary degree of willingness to please once her respect has been earned, and is a wonderful female with children of all ages and is utterly reliable in her behavior with them; she is equally discerning in the presence of the disabled or elderly and is very careful in her approach to them. Eeve is a fun, very "up" female who can switch in an instant into protection mode if a threat is perceived. Her protection work is clean, precise and very fast, with a calm and crushing grip. Her natural protective and territorial aggression is quite realistic. Eeve is extreme in her overall drives - retrieve, prey play and prey hunt, with excellent food drive as well. She has a deep and natural nose and is a notable tracker who never leaves a track or loses focus.

Eeve has superb body structure, with powerful musculature and perfect angulation along with the  stamina to fully express her energy and drive in all environments and temperatures.  She has perfect nerves and works confidently wherever she is, settling immediately when the work is done. She has a broad head and correct ear set, with very dark eye color.

"I had the pleasure of owning one of Eeve's progeny, a male from her first litter. I named him Kasan. He was so smart, it was almost scary at times...I would be working other dogs, and he would come out of the pen already having learned what I did with the other dogs, even though I never taught him. He watched and learned with an intensity that was unique in my experience - he was always trying to figure out what was going on, and usually did. He was always mentally present. He had incredible nerves, too - I could fire a gun right over his head and

he' d never even blink. He did excellent scent work and when he was worked in defense he was unbelievable - very old style in his whole approach. "
