Shield
Shield is the proud sire of our male “Charger.”
He has been thoroughly health tested and is CLEAR of the following genetic conditions:
-
Von Willebrand Disease Type II
-
Cone Degeneration (German Shorthaired Pointer Type)
-
Degenerative Myelopathy
-
Hyperuricosuria
With proven and reliable genetics, Shield consistently passes along both his sound health and his natural hunting ability to his offspring. He has a strong instinct for the field, combined with focus, drive, and an exceptional temperament—traits that are evident in each of his puppies.
OFA Certifications:
-
Hips: Good
-
Elbows: Normal
In 2021, Shield was also tested through PennGen for Lupoid Dermatosis (LD) and was confirmed CLEAR.
(Results posted below.)
In 2022, Shield’s son “Charger” joined our breeding program.
Charger is a Shield × Rana pup.
Rana, imported from Romania, has since been retired, but she contributed outstanding European genetics that complement Shield’s American lines.
Together, their pairing brings the best of both worlds — blending international lineage, strong conformation, and exceptional hunting instinct — into our ongoing breeding program at Blue Line Gun Dogs.
