OVERVIEW
What he was
Eran was a serious dog. Not unstable. Not reactive. Simply serious, and never to be taken lightly.
He remains a cornerstone foundation dog for de las Flores and for the working Dutch Shepherd within the AKC. His progeny continue to excel in IGP, PSA, Police K-9 service, and personal protection roles.
Eran defined our foundation type: substantial bone, a powerful and compact build, a strong block head, dark coat with deep mahogany striping, and an imposing presence supported by a steady, reliable temperament.
He was singular in both substance and character. We were fortunate to have him. He is still felt in this program, and he is missed in our home.
WORKING TRAITS
- Drive: High
- Nose: Good
- Temperament: Calm + calculated
- Environmental: Highly Confident
- Handler focus: Fiercely loyal to his people
LEGACY
Eran is no longer with us. He passed quietly just days after his 14th birthday. One breeding remains preserved in our semen bank.
It is not inventory. It is legacy. When we choose to bring Eran back into our bloodlines, it will be done with intention and with respect for what he represented.
