A dominant and powerful male with exceptional working ability and control, Rooney represents the best of the Jabina legacy. Despite his strength and intensity, he demonstrates clarity of mind and a clear willingness to take direction from the handler. He’s a serious working dog who thrives on a challenge — particularly in protection work, where his full, confident grip and engagement with the helper showcase the genetic strength passed down through his lineage. Rooney tracks with deep nose and full concentration. In obedience, he’s quick, sharp, and focused, always tuned in to the handler and ready to perform. But it’s in protection that he truly shines — this is his favourite phase, and it shows. Like his relatives in the Jabina line, he doesn’t just hold the sleeve — he works with full commitment and strength, bringing fight and intensity to every encounter. Rooney’s pedigree is loaded with working strength. His sire, Mike vom Weinbergblick, is a proven producer of healthy, high-performing dogs, with many offspring competing at WUSV level across Europe. Rooney himself scored HDA, ED1, reflecting the soundness inherited through this line. On his dam's side, Jabina Fritte has produced more IPO3 dogs at the Danish championships than any other bitch in recent years — and comes from a family where WUSV participation runs deep, with both Jabina Fanta and Jabina Freddy also competing at the international level.
