Era Canine Extreme

Description

Era Canine Extreme is an absolutely stunning female German Shepherd with deep red pigmentation, rich black coloring, and the kind of presence that makes her impossible to overlook. Beyond her beauty, Era has an exceptional temperament. She is friendly, kind with the family, naturally social, and absolutely loves to work. Era enjoyed an extensive and successful show career in Germany, competing among some of the finest German Shepherds in the world and earning recognition for her beautiful structure, movement, and confident character.

In 2026, Era continued to prove her quality in the United States, earning the prestigious **VA3 rating at the GSDCA North American Sieger Show**! For those unfamiliar with the German Shepherd show world, the VA rating is the highest conformation distinction awarded in the adult working classes, reserved for dogs that meet the highest standards of breed quality, structure, and overall performance. This accomplishment is something we are incredibly proud of and further confirms what we have believed about Era from the beginning. She represents generations of thoughtful breeding, proven German bloodlines, and the beautiful balance of temperament, working ability, and breed type that we strive for at Canine Extreme. Era is not only an accomplished VA rated female German Shepherd, but also a very special member of our family and breeding program.

Pedigree

The father line begins with Mio vom Team Hühnegrab (IGP3, KKL). Mio is a strong male, well built with rich pigmentation, masculine heads, and super movement in the gait. Mio has been extremely successful in competition, making him world famous at the young age of three and earning the title of VA4 at BSZS 2023 after only one year of breeding. In the following years he went on to become the 2x VA1 Champion at BSZS in 2024 and 2025. Being a young stud with an impeccable reputation, we were very excited to have the opportunity to whelp his first litter born in the USA. Mio's progeny are quickly gaining ground in Europe and will no doubt make their mark in championships to come. Mio's ancestors are no strangers to the winners' podium at the German Sieger BSZS Championship. His father is none other than Usher aus der Brunnenstraße (IGP3, IFH2, ZAP, KKL), who is a 5x VA Champion (3x VA1-BSZS, VA1 Austria, and 1x VA3-BSZS). Usher is known around the world for producing solid German Shepherds. Mio's mother line begins with Zhira vom Hühnegrab, who is a feminine female of good size, rich pigmentation, and an overall beautiful type. Mio is her highest rated son to date. Although she has produced only four litters to date (as of 2023), more than half of her progeny have been listed with working titles and good hips and elbows. Mio's pedigree continues with countless champions and notable dogs such as VA Ballack von der Brucknerallee, VA Remo vom Fichtenschlag, and 2x VA1 Willy vom Kuckucksland.

The mother line begins with Whisper vom Holtkämper See. Whisper is a German imported female who achieved the coveted VA rating at the 2022 USA Sieger Show. She was highly rated in the BSZS youth class in 2019 and later came in SG1 (USA 2019). Whisper has been a phenomenal addition to our breeding program and home. She is already known to produce dogs that have competed at the highest levels in sport, along with many progeny with excellent health, temperaments, and work ethic. Her father is an impeccable male named Henko vom Holtkämper Hof (IPO3, KKL), who is a 2x VA champion at the BSZS. Henko has extremely rich pigmentation, good character, and a top work ethic. He has solid bone structure, good height, and a very dark mask with beautiful expression in the face. While Henko is now retired with his family in Germany, his progeny continue to dominate at the world championships year after year. His father is none other than our very own Fight vom Holtkämper Hof (IPO3, KKL). Fight, also imported from Germany, was rated VA2 at the USA Sieger Show in 2017. Fight is a legend in his own right, producing some of the most influential German Shepherds of our time, such as ASAP vom Aldamar, who has produced seven VA dogs at the BSZS and counting. Fight is known around the world as a top producer of German Shepherds, and closer to home he is known for his character, work ethic, and above all his heart.
