The sire side carries influential STASI and Kabuschsee blood through dogs like Yoschy vom Kabuschsee, Zoran STASI, Greif vom Ritterberg, and Taiga Super Agent, bringing proven protection, sport, and service genetics with strong drives and stable temperaments.

Bear has medium to high drives with high pack drive and high food drive. He increases bone size, head size, confidence, and biddability in his puppies.
