Excalibur
IGP1, IGP2, IGP3
SV Einzelsichtung - March 27, 2025
Krummennaab, Bavaria, Germany
Mental Value - Elite Tier
Excalibur is a large, powerful Czech working-line German Shepherd who serves actively with the Czech Police while also competing at a high level in IGP. A direct son of Willy and maternally tied to Cheri Eqidius, he represents the continuation of a lineage recognized for producing strong, clear-headed, versatile working dogs across multiple generations.
What distinguishes Excalibur is not simply his capability in training, but the type of dog he is. He carries the rare qualities found in the German Shepherds of the breed's strongest era — a true "throwback" male with the presence, strength, and courage of old, combined with the balanced temperament, clarity, and obedience expected of a modern service dog and family protector. He is formidable when needed, yet composed, stable, and reliable in everyday life.
His ability is not theoretical — it has been professionally validated.
On March 27, 2025, in Krummennaab, Bavaria, Excalibur underwent a formal SV Einzelsichtung (Individual Evaluation), a demanding assessment of a dog's mental architecture. There he earned an exceptional Mental Value of 995/1000.
This is an elite-tier score that reflects:
- Extremely strong nerves
- Exceptional environmental stability
- Clear, correct aggression
- Rapid and clean recovery
- High trainability
- Consistent clarity under pressure
- Excellent judgment in real-world scenarios
A mental value of this caliber is rarely achieved and is typically found only in top-tier police, military, and upper-echelon IGP dogs. It confirms that Excalibur does not simply perform well — he thinks well, holds himself well, and maintains stability where lesser dogs falter.
Excalibur's value has been recognized internationally. He was selected to sire a litter in Germany as part of a long-term initiative aimed at restoring authentic working excellence to the German Shepherd Dog — a program designed to re-establish the breed's rightful position as a truly versatile working partner in sport, service, protection, and family life.
This selection was not honorary. It was based on evaluated capability, proven genetics, and the type of mental architecture the breed desperately needs to preserve. Excalibur represents what modern working-line revitalization programs are trying to recover — dogs that exceed the breed's legend rather than merely claim it.
Despite his working power and high capability, Excalibur is remarkably balanced. He transitions seamlessly between police work, competition, and normal daily life. He is loyal and handler-focused, confident with people, and dependable in public settings. His intensity in work contrasts with his calm, clear presence outside of it, making him both an exceptional working service dog and a stable, trustworthy companion.
As a son of Willy and a carrier of independently recognized multi-generational superior genetics, Excalibur stands as an important contributor to the future of the working German Shepherd. His combination of structure, durability, intelligence, mental strength, and proven real-world capability make him a standout male whose influence strengthens every generation that follows.
He is not retired to stud duty. He remains an active operational police K9 while also producing the next generation. That dual role — elite working performance combined with breeding influence — is increasingly rare and represents the standard EuroHund maintains across our program.
