Xara vom Landschaft has passed away after an amazing career as a working dog and companion. A special thanks to Chip and Trish Fox, the owners of Xara, these are wonderful people who I still owe BIG TIME and Marcy Blank the breeder of incredible working German Shepherds. Here are some highlights of Xara’s career.
- AKC Novice attained in three consecutive attempts and in three consecutive days with three placing finishes.
- AKC Open attained in three consecutive attempts. Qualification for the AKC FFX Platinum Award (the former Dog World Award requirements) with scores of 199,197,197 including two placing finishes and a High in Trial.
- First place on her Schutzhund I with a V-rated obedience score and High obedience in trial
- Multiple Schutzhund III titles with V-ratings in every category including 100 point SCH. III track, 98 SCH III protection and 96 SCH III obedience and multiple High in Trials
- A 2nd place finish at he ALPO Frisbee Dog Championships
- Demonstration dog for many training businesses, T.V., rescue groups, schools, police departments, and humane societies
- Most of all a wonderful companion
Working as a professional in the field for over ten years I have come across several Landschaft dogs and in every case I have noticed a little something extra in these dogs that seems to set them apart.
Thank you very much,

Hiya Marcy,
I just wanted to drop you a quick line and say hi. The pup I got off of you is doing fantastic and I'm very proud of him. Zeus has become a superb narcotics dog and loves to work. His personality is great and he loves people. He's been a big hit in the schools and likes to show off during
demonstrations. I'm going to be taking him to Missouri and work him on I-44 with the Phelps county sheriffs dept on one of their check points. It's a good place to get large quantities of dope and I can't wait till the weather breaks so I can take him over there. I know he'll do fantastic... I've attached a couple of pics for ya on here. He's very healthy and I couldn't be happier with him. I brag on you guy's all the time, and hope that I can send you some business.
Take care,

Murray:
Hi Had a perfect physical today at the vets, contract was mailed previous to that anyway. He is an awsome pup, he wants to play tug games with anything he can find but we will be carefull with that. He was packing a small tug around and you can see a perfect grip already.Had him at work today he crashes buy the machine, just wants to be with me, that bond took about two minutes. It has been a pleasure dealing with you and your expertise.
Thanks

 Hey Marcy,
Just thought I would send along a couple of pics of Kodi now that he is fully mature and looking good. He is one awesome dog that people can't stop talking about. Here are some recent pics I took of him last weekend.

Hi Marcy,
Well, Lazer earned his SchH3 today at the regionals. His scores left much to be desired :
Tracking he only got a 77, bad handling probably didn't help. Thought I was standing on a corner, holding him back, and he was right. Obedience 86...still needs to stop bumping me on recall/retrieves, and now his finish too (he flips). Protection..71... he outed, but DIIIRRTY!! Hamilton did start the critique saying "First let me say that the scores you'll hear in no way reflect how much I love this dog". Mike Williams asked me if I wanted to sell him. He said he was kidding....? So now I accomplished all my goals for this summer (except for good scores), we'll start taking the time to fine tune the dog. He's fun, and we'll get it done. I know I'm getting redundant, but thanks for a great dog. He's a great reflection on your care to breed true working dogs.

Marcy,
I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I am by Ranger. He is at 35lbs now and responding very well to voice inflection and command, he was (actually we were) housebroken in less than a week and is now using the dog doors on his own when not crated. Your recommendation for SolidGold, SeaMeal and Vertex have been passed on with great enthusiasm to everyone I meet. We are enrolled in a highly recommended Puppy Class over here and he really enjoys it.
Gina is absolutely in love with his personality, and he and I have bonded perfectly. The whole Alpha /Pack thing seems to be very strong in this one, the more discipline and structure I give him the more he tries to please, it is very rewarding to have him in the family… THIS IS GREAT BREEDING, plain and simple. You should brag yourself up more!! His intellect and drive are wonderful, and he is learning very quickly…sometimes TOO quickly J We keep him busy, no more than 3-4 hours in the crate EVER. The pet sitter has fallen in love with him and he is increasing his ‘earned privilege’ daily around the house… so far we are only down one stuffed animal, but I didn’t tell anyone. ;)
Thank you again for your dedication and efforts to protect this breed from the AKC J I look forward to many years with my little ‘dump truck’ of a GSD!!!!!
