Whose dog would you choose - Page 4

Ok...I LOVE a few dogs!
OTHER THAN MY OWN....I could easily own.....Capri, Edge, ROOKIE & Buffalo Bill.

p.s...Melinda...you broke Ivan's heart...he thought that he had you at "hello"....

Capri or Caleb.

If you can bring dogs back, no question, no doubt......Gucci. But if that isn't part of the rules, I'd sure take his granddaughter Vogue. I've also always admired Shelley's dog T, and Chris's Gina.

slamdunc, all I could picture is a LEO getting out of his car with the dark shades and then here comes the dog in shades. made me laugh.

I developed a crush on Capri maybe a year or more ago, not over it yet. Add to that, Jenn posts some stuff occasionally that makes my old heart beat a little faster. Ibrihim, any chance we could change this to a 2 for 1 wish.

I was just thinking Caleb von Schraderhause (Jennie's dog) and Alexa's  pedigree had the same motherline. Elba z Esagilu (previously owned by the Schraderhause kennel).. I think the breeder did some very succesful breedings on this female. I wish I could see some other dogs from these breedings. I never met Elba but from what I have been told, she is a pretty strong link in these dogs when it comes to hardnes. I know that the owner took Elba to do some bite work at te age of 11 or so and the helper was blown away and kinda wished the female was few years younger so they could trial her.  Van Den Heuvel used her sister (littermate) and I just had a discussion about the sister with a person who knows that dog and I was told she was an excellent producer also. 
 I think Elba will be seen in some very nice dogs in the future.. so I think I would also take that dog.. I would steal Elba z Esagilu and turn back time and breed her myslef..LOL




I guess that is not possible..so nevermind.

Oh Ivan....I didn't think you would want me to gush over you in public!! You know I love your stallion like ways!! 

Robin...thanks for putting my Edge on your list!! She's ready to represent the working lines this weekend!!! 

Come on where r the showline people.
Ill start by taking Riks dog

I think Xero z PS over Figa Cega was a good click, for sure. The B litter Cega was not too shabby either. B litter Cega females are some I like to see in the motherline. I spoke w/someone who had known all the "E"s Esagilu and confirms they were all nice dogs- pretty uniform litter in temperament, some better structured than others. I have met Elba. All my dreams of Caleb slowing down as he got older went out the window when I met her. If I could turn back time and make her about 2 years old again, I'd take her, too, though I'd love to make her either taller/longer-legged or shorter-coupled, since we are just playing pretend here. She'd be just right then.   She is in good health/shape for her age, which is important to me. Longevity is something I think too few people emphasize. I actually chose Caleb in part due to the age of his sire (DOB 1994). I'm happy to see/hear that she's still so spry as a coming 12yr old and hope he fares as well. 

Capri says thanks to all of you. She's got a new spring in her step after reading this...as if she needed it. Caleb, OTOH,  says flattery will get you nowhere. 

Thanks for the nice comments on Boomer and his picture.  Last wek I was out assisting another PD with their K-9 school and some Jordanian Officials come to the K-9 range for a demo on the spur of the moment.  The Jordanians were visiting the US and visiting Police Dept's.  Well they asked if I would do an obedience and obstacle course with Boomer for the Demo.  I brought Boomer out onto the field, off lead wearing those sunglasses.  I brought Boomer in front of the crowd wearing those sunglasses and had him wave to the Jordanian Officials then we did the demo.   No one was expecting that and it was worth the laugh.

Later I brought him out for bitework with a decoy in a suit on the field weraing the glasses again while I gave my warnings.  My goofy dog wore them until the last warning then tossed them aside just before I sent him.
