Her big deep natural grips on the sleeve genetic. Helpers comment, "dogs like her make us look good." Beretta has proper conformation with a beautiful chest, small waist, short loin and lovely legs. This conformation lends to her fancy prancy heel judges and spectators love! Beretta is always smiling and making humans smile and laugh in return. She loves people, and everyone is a friend until it's time to get to business. Then, she will turn on the work switch like her pedigree commands.

RIP (In memory) Vikar von Pedor-Stok, SG, BH/VTx2, SVV1,IGP1x2, IGPx2 IGP3
In Memoriam: Vikar von Pedor-Stok
**3/31/2018 - 12/29/2023**
HD: Normal/ED: Normal/DNA:gpr./LTV-0/DM-N/N/Embark clear
It is with sadness and great respect that we honor the memory of Vikar von Pedor-Stok, an extraordinary male who was a cornerstone of Von Overen German Shepherds. Imported from Slovakia, Vikar was an impressive dog with beautiful conformation, stable and happy demeanor, and the intense ball and food drive that made him a joy to work with. He lived harmoniously in our home, surrounded by his female canine companions and our family, always bringing a brave and playful spirit that kept his drives steady and his nerves clear.
Vikar’s accomplishments in IGP were nothing short of remarkable, consistently achieving high 90s in his IGP career, including a perfect 100 in protection at IGP2. His pedigree speaks to his excellence; he was the son of the famed Extreme Orex Aykmar BH, IPO3, SPr3 (V-WUSV WM), whose lineage includes Orex vom Fuchsstein BH, IPO3, SchH2, FH3, and Vicky von der Mohnwiese IPO3, FPr1. Vikar’s dam, Roxy von Pedor-Stok BH/VT, SVV1, comes from Nio Vikar BH/VT, ZVV1, and Ines von Pedor-Stok BH/VT, SPr3, SVV1. Vikar’s legacy continues through his offspring in Slovakia, and we were truly privileged to bring his beautiful and competitive bloodlines to the United States.
We are grateful to his breeder and handler team for entrusting us with this bright and formidable male. Vikar’s impact on our program and our lives will be remembered with love and admiration. He will always be a cherished part of Von Overen German Shepherds.
