Thankyou for all the positive words on him 
Right now, my plans for him are a personal dog for area-guard, item-guard, and tracking.
I'd like to finalize him in area-guard to protect the house and car, and item-guard to keep an eye on the kids. It was actually the kids I was thinking of when I held him back in the litter: he's got the most stable temperament, mellow nature, and yet has no fear of anything. He's the perfect "sleeper-dog" -- the sort that can loaf around, and go from 0 - 60 when needed.
He's already mastered window entrance and exit of vehicles for inspection, but I have to warn people when they come to visit: "roll up your windows or he will check out your car." I've also been teaching him a bit of tracking. I take him on base for "inspections" of the barracks. It helps him work on his search and detection bit in interior situations. That, and it generally causes the service members in said barracks to act smartly for the next several days *lol*
I may or may not breed Raven, there's several variables I'm mulling over; not the least of which are what his adult hip scores will be and his final size. I like big dogs, but I don't need monster GSDs.
I'd rather just ice his dad's guys, and use that because his father has excellent credentials as a former Border Patrol and Para-Jump dog. His father's original handler was KIA. Cezar is exceptionally stable, clear in the head, and very people-friendly when not in work mode.
>I never seem to have that kind of luck with pictures
It takes a LOT of time and practice. I actually prefer to take pics solo, if only that way because I can tell what looks good, and what does not; and I can use a small table to get low enough so that I'm not getting top-shots of the dogs. Digital cameras are great. I set it up on a 20-second delay to take a 5-shot row, and repeat that several times.
Usually I get a 1/20 ratio of usable shots vs. pics taken.
