@Ugly, you  may be in the wrong sport.  Marcus was all for me putting the video up, but thanks for your concern.  I wouldn't put it up without his permission.  He is proud of Yogy, and is expecting a progeny soon and is ready to catch him again.  You can watch the video from this years FMBB in the link above.  Unfortunately part of the sport.

At 7 seconds, if paused, The video clearly shows the dog on the ground. Then Marcus is bringing the stick back up into the threat and gathering himself from the catch, goes to take the first step into the drive. Right Foot Sticks in the Turf causing the injury.  Dog was fast, catch was safe and completely in control.  Helper was not slammed or taken down by the dog. As helpers we all have accepted risk of injury every time we go out there, as I am sure you did in your football days.  your score in the protection phase and the dog speaks for itself.  Awesome dog and great training.  I just don't see why it is necessary to take a video of a guy who has sustained an injury working Your dog SAFELY and correctly and advertise it as a Take down when that is clearly not how it went. 

@Ugly at 7 seconds he steps with his LEFT leg, the injury was prior with his right knee, but I am not debating this with you.  Please don't take anything from my dog.  Thanks.  I would like to thank Marcus for all of his support and can't wait to see him back out on the field.  Real recognize real.

Also at 8 seconds, as show below (a little blurry, as it is an action screen shot).  Dog is completely on the ground, stick has come up, sleeve is back in position for the drive and right foot is being ready to take step.  from here you can see the foot get stuck, helper go down and slip sleeve. 

Debate wasnt about your dog man, he is a badass and was fun to watch.  Just comes across as disrespectful to the helper.  As a helper I would be pissed if my misfortune and hard work was being used as false advertising.  Good Luck in the future.

If his knee was already blown out, he would not be able to apply pressure when taking the next step with his right foot?  Just like the picture shows. 

So it's not possible for a dog to sit down on the transition from a long bite to the drive and take a helper down that way, even if this is your debate?

If you have any further concerns please email me.  Once again this sport is about dogs.  Like I said before this was done with Marcus's consent.  You are making this personal and trying to compromise my friendship with Marcus.  This post is about Yogy, who I am proud of.  I changed it to "Yogy Wins the sleeve" b/c last thing I will ever be told is that I do is false advertising.  I work for what I have, just like my dog and deserve it.

Next to High in Trial Mike D, Yogy had the highest protection score.  There were a few other 96s but no one higher than Yogy's score other than Mike's dog Irmus.  That says something, a whole lot of something, about yogy and his handler.  Congrats.  You ought to be very pleased with yourself and your great dog!!!

@hunger4justice thanks I really appreciate it.  There are a few things I want to work on.  He was a silent guard dog until recently and we are in the middle of a few other things.  I'm excited for the AWDF and Yogy is as well.  Thanks again for the support. 

Awesome dog, fantastic handling...good luck and much success in the sport. 

@GSDfan, hope to see you soon.  I love all of your videos and hard work and dedication.  Yogy wants to know when you are going to come give him some grips.
