Asko von der Lutter - Page 10

What they are saying has nothing to do with Asko----------they need to move on = some sort of personal thing..............

I just said that I thought my dog Danko was a little slow maturing. He's an Asko grandson

Yogi: This thread was only my second post. I've read a lot here over the last three years but I never posted or even joined until a few months ago. Nothing personal here. I just didn't appreciate someone acting like I'm some DS newbie who doesn't know JS

So far as schutzhund, I don't think there's any redemption for Danko. He was sold to me as a washout and, besides, my road lies elsewhere. And to be honest about it, when I got Danko I didn't know what I was getting so far as training and all that. I just knew I was getting a GSD with a good bill of health. He's been challenging but he's been fun and he also got me into high grade GSDs.

And I will say that Danko was so much more pleasant to work with than my first, an American back yard bred bitch. With Danko and the other two dogs I got from Nate Harves, a daughter of Sunshadow's Caine and Facka z Vysneho, and the new girl Baja vom Basaltkopf, when you establish your place its only tested in a regular, stable and secure way whereas my old bitch is a nag who never throws in the towel. High grades rock!

Great grandson rather

And Brad, maybe I'm a little naive, but it didn't really seem that I needed professional help to recondition a dog with issues. I changed his name for the time, called him a variation of his name (you never use a dog's name negatively so they don't associate it negatively) had it out with him one day in the street, worked on building his self image with negative reinforcement for a week followed by positive reinforcement for a week and thereafter, gave him plenty of exercise, plenty of leash work and praise for every little thing he did right. It was a three month process. Then I began exposing him to people slowly in my presence and then slowly moved to meeting people in my absence. He's a totally different dog and aside from this lack of work in off-leash training, he's great. lts as simple as 1-2-3. Just basic psychology....... and dogs are so much more simple than people.

Asko Line is much thought after in Germany. We cannot all say it is down to the Handler of the dog The dog plays an equal if not more part in it.
Gentices will always come forewards at the highest level of any thing in my opinion.
It takes two to Tango the female could or not be so great in many cases of breeding with any dog.
I am looking for a Pup well was, mind made up now but the Male was mated to some Females which were not up to the standard i look for,
Then someone mentioned Orry, 3 times WUSV champion and with two different handlers taking him to the worlds shows the dog must have it in him to work, blood tells no question about that
I did take a look at the current list of Dogs which bred from 2000 to 2005 and how many they had produced and the ratio of KKL1 and KKL2 were in the lists from the breedings of the Males
 but then it is a different thing.
Asko was not mentioned in that list
