Tracking question - Page 2

Well he has a very proud stead fast dimeanor ( i love) about him. He is very civil yet social. He still has some pup in him though. He adores children ( i have let my 7 year old girl tug with him as he has a gentle nature with her) but he is very concious of adults that make defensive movements. he hasnt learned his descrimination of threat behaviors yet.

However I do use him as im contracted by a company that finds lost pets and various stuff so he will be certified this spring and put in the field to take the place of my retired boy. he has a nack for it and is a natural. I started out his tracking in the fashion you just mentioned to get his enterest into it. i would run and let my gf hold him to track me down. them various family memebers and friends. he loved that. agitate him up run hide and let him role. Just to get him using his nose then johnson method method and so on.

he is out of kreative kennels in california.

i havent put yoshy up here yet as im awaiting his papers from akc. i was lazy and submited the papers late.


thats a good looking boy. I actually considered an orry / dixie son but decided to go with a green dog instead. They seem to produce some nice pups up there. I will def be conidering them in the future.

Thats a good looking boy you have. So what made you choose the sire and dam you did over the others? i havent met there dogs is my reason for asking.

 

thanks for the compliments. however you asked about handler hardness from yosh. he doesnt give me any issues as far as handler hardness. he is a handler easy dog. not soft but easy. I need to get some better pictures of yosh. the one in my avatar was at about 14-15 months. He is a much more dense muscular dog now at 20 months. I hope i dont have the puppy til 6 haha. I cant wait for him to mature.

I wish I had the money to fly out and meet Jiri. I would love to pick his brain. Along with meeting some of the real PS dogs from the "old world" lines. I think there would be no better experience. I actually wrote Hans a PM earlier asking some questions about the preservation of the czech lines and what he feels seperates them from all others. as well if he had any back ground on the dogs in my boys pedigree as i selected him out of an all police litter for his qualities not necessarily his pedigree. No response. You can only read so much online without speaking to those who have worked with the dogs directly or seeing them work yourself you know.

I have a police washout as well. He is a good boy 80% 20% defense prey. He is my family/ home protection dog. So I have no worries or doubt about him in his duties. Soft with kids but hard as nails with anything else. He was my first german shepherd. He is pushing 8 now. He has no pedigree with him though. He is flawed as far as body size and breed standards but a great dog none the less. 98lbs at working weight/ grey sable.
