Hank 2014 wusv winner - Page 2

Hank is probably the most decorated winner of major IPO trials (LGA, BSP & WUSV) in this century.

I have to wonder why he doesn't show many breedings. I found only 42 registered progeny. Is Mr Huber limiting his breeding?

Having seen this dog perform in person....his training is perfection (that's a compliment), he is a beautiful dog, a little on the large side, and bred for sport. 

Nans......Owner and Trainer is Helmut Huber......there are plenty of YouTube video's on Hank.

Matt.....as an owner of one of his son's, what do you like about him? What made you choose one of his puppies? I'm asking out of genuine interest.

I picked Uddo based on the strength of his mother line and by talking to people who knew my dogs breeder and her females and what she produced.  I was already familar with Tom in a pedigree as I used to own a Tom Grandson.  Going back through the generations tells you what you should get.

Then I watched his videos of his early training and he appeared to be clear headed with a drive to work.  Should tell me what I'm getting.  Dealing with his breeder who is in the Czech Republic was a breeze, never had a red flag presented.  So i pulled the trigger and imported him.

He is now a year and a half old and filling out very nicely, going to be a stallion type of dog.  Dark pigment, dark eyes, clear in his head with a nice serious streak.  His grips are genetically full, never had to teach those and he has a nice punch in the front from the grip.  Obedience is drivey but correct with great attitude.  He loves to track and drags my butt out there.  I look for a dog that stretches my abilities as a trainer.  Whatever Uddo does or doesn't achieve, the fault will be mine because he himself has everything that I look for in a dog and he is always fun to go out and train.  Never any stress. 

Equally important to me is that he is absolutely safe with my 7 and almost 3 year old boys and has no dog aggression.  I can and often do run him and my other male dog together to load up in the trailer.  In the house, he has a sense of humor and will wrestle mercilessly with my wife on the couch and when she thinks it's over he will lay down and wait for her to walk away at which point he will sneak up behind her and nip her butt and then bounce around in front to play some more. 

Only problem with him (which I don't mind) is that if you don't work him fairly regular he gets a little pushy and wants to go do something.  That sitting around is for the birds as far as he's concerned. 

Thanks for sharing Matt he sounds like a very nice dog to me anyway. I,m interested in seeing the dam side.

Matt...Thank you for such a detailed explanation.

Your youngster sounds very exciting. Is this the pup that was in the video you posted (can't remember the thread)? I do remember thinking what a nice pup.

I know how it feels to have a pushy puppy. They are a challenge and a blast to train. I love a dog with a clever personality. Good luck with him. I hope to see some videos of him soon :)

Just saw one son here abouts.  From what I saw he was a dud.  He never struck me as Stud material from his working vids.  Zico von der Adaleg and Angsbacken's Rosso are more my speed.

I have not posted any vids of Uddo only because none of the topics have addresses where he is at in his training.

Here is a link below to his litter mate for his pedigree.
