About Saga
Saga is the classic green detection or search prospect: relentless hunt drive, an independent nose and enough handler focus to be shaped quickly. She has never been pushed into bite work, so she arrives with no conflict and a clean slate for whichever discipline you choose.
- Green — no protection or detection imprinting started
- Exceptional independent hunt and search drive
- Hips A, elbows 0/0, DNA panel clear
- KNPV brindle parentage with PH1 dam
Temperament
Busy, biddable and environmentally bombproof. Saga is friendly with strangers, indifferent to dogs and settles well in a crate after work. She is a working female rather than a household companion.
Health
Hips A, elbows 0/0. DNA panel clear. Full veterinary records and DEFRA-compliant import paperwork supplied.
Training
Marker foundations, box and container hunt games, long-line search patterns, retrieve to hand and reliable out on toy. Vehicle, kennel and crate conditioned. No protection work started.
Suitable home
A detection handler, search team or sport home ready to build the specialist phase. Needs daily work and a handler who enjoys drive.
Frequently asked questions
Is a green dog cheaper than a trained dog?
Yes. You are paying for genetics, health clearances and foundation work rather than the eighteen months of specialist training that a finished protection dog carries.
