My opinion, if the grip is full and not shifting let him shake it, He is only doing what comes naturaly killing the prey some times we become TOO concerened about the points and not the breed.

It,s easier to screw up a natural good grip then fix the problems from over thinking it.

A freind of mine has a puppy from my first litter, had a good naturall full grip as the training continued the grip became more chewey and hectic now at 3.5 years old the pictures I get of him working are less then impressive over thinking and over training the work and to much impusive control makes for stress that makes it self known as grip issues.

Don,t over think the bite work.

A lot of Fero progeny had that whining and head shaking when engaged in a full genetic grip.....this seemed to be a trait he passed with some female combinations....I have a 10 week old pup that takes a full hard grip that you can lift him off the ground with and when on his feet he is whining and trying to pull your arm out of socket...he never adjusts his grip though....there is nothing weak nerved or genetically weak about this pup. You can't judge a book by its cover unless its read...JMo

I agree, Gustav.

My female Fiest is vocal on the sleeve Excellent deep grips shakes the sleeve on and off the helper but the grip does,nt shift...not a problem in my book. And she will bring the sleeve back and jam it into the helper looking for more.

if you really delve deep even a vice like grip is a sign of weak nerve( Think over it....)

Vikram:

In my opinion again over thinking the work, It,s the overall pic that is important coming hard to the sleeve strong barking good grip and power in the fight and a clear out. If the grip is "vise like" and the out is clear and fast there is no problem, Clarity is the MOST important trait in over all work. again just my opinion.

Vikram I'm pretty certain Mambo is not known for producing weak nerves, and I'm pretty certain my pup doesn't have weak nerves either. And also remember, he's vocal no matter what we're doing and as Vickie said, he is just 9 weeks old. I He doesn't have a full deep grip. He bites hard, but I'll have to teach the grip as Vickie said. I think from one of your comments you seemed to think he was an older dog on a sleeve possibly?

yes
