Lux is a great dog to be around, both in working with him and in looking at him. In public he is quite the head turner and people compliment me as to how beautiful he is... always a compliment when people say this about a working line dog. He has a very warm and friendly nature, and can be handled easily by a knowledgeable dog person. He loves to please his handler, will work forever for the reward of a ball or toy, and is sure and confident in temperament for protection work. His tracking ability, passed down from to him from his grandfather Lord vom Gleisdreieck, is very apparent in him. His bone is substantial and has a correct and pleasing working structure. Lux passes these qualities strongly on into his pups.


Absolutely impressive strong boned very dark black sable male with huge head. 100 % East German pedigree. In bite work his grips are always full and hard. Maximum drives for the ball in order to create top performance in obedience.

His Sire, Tino vom Felsenschloss, is currently a top producer in Germany for a combination of outstanding structure and temperament. In addition to the excellent bloodlines Lux inherits from his sire line, he inherits the incredible and well known protection and tracking abilities from his maternal grandsire, the great DDR sire, Lord vom Gleisdreieck.


Lux's Maternal Grandsire "Lord" was a top producing male who was renowned for imparting excellent working drives into his offspring, and was one of the finest producers of sound hips (producing good-excellent hips with around 98.5% success rate). Lord got his SchH1 title with a perfect score of 300 points. Out of his first 19 trials, he scored 15 perfect 100's in tracking. His lowest tracking score was 97! His blood goes back to Jeff vom Flamings-Sand, Blacky vom Gleisdreieck, and Ingo von Rudingen (credited for producing some of the strongest structural health for the working German Shepherd gene pool, vastly improving upon pigmentation and working abilities).


Geonology of Lux vom Kameruner Eck



Breed survey of Lux

Large frame, well pigmented, pronounced type of male with very appealing structure and appearance. Strong head, appealing top line, straight front. Pronounced chest proportion. Well angulated in front and rear, space covering gait, effective actions. Sure temperament, pronounced fighting instinct, releases.

His puppies are very dark, and I am eagerly awaiting a new litter which will be his first litter with my female Franzi vom Grafental. Franzi is even darker than Lux, so pigment should be excellent in this cross. Lux is a very masculine male, and has a gorgeous typical large blocky East German head type, which he also imparts into his offspring. Below are some of his progenies with Elba z Esagilu, Xena Ort & Saskia vom Schaferliesel. Lux is currently in training in preparation for his SchH III titling
