Oh yes, Steve, I think I can understand what you feel. I had been looking for a certain type of german shepherd for a long time before I finally found the one - in the USA! It`s funny because I live... in Russia!  That`s the dog:

I was looking for  Robby vom Glockeneck` s offsprings.

There are two young dogs from Eqidius in Moscow now. They belong to a member of our national team.

Listen to your heart when it`s time to choose the pup! Good luck!

Olga,

I personally know the father of your pup and his owner. I saw Egon when he first came in the US. His owner lived about 5 miles from me. Egon was one heck of a driven dog with big grips. Too me, he had too much drive.

Hi aero993,

Thank you very much for the link to Chico Stanford`s site! I found a video of Egon`s protection work there.

Thank you very much indeed! I only had some photos. I heard the judge`s comment there in the clip. I hope it will be easier to control Egon`s son - my Erko von der Zahnburg - in protection as now he already shows good balance. While some dogs are working protection and the others are barking watching those that are working, Erko is sitting absolutely calmly and silently quite near and is watching the helper. He looks funny. When I started looking for a new dog, I told everyone that I want to find a dog that is fighting not with the sleeve but with the man behind the sleeve. I am so happy that Art Shaw, the breeder (Zahnburg ), agreed to send Erko to Russia. I love this dog!!! He is like his father, I think, when it comes to the grips. When we just started training he didn`t want to bark. The helper didn`t know what to do and started kicking Erko and beating him with the stick. Erko didn`t start barking after that, but when the helper relaxed for a second, Erko rushed forward and thanks to the helper `s quick reaction only bit the T-shirt on the upper part of the helper`s chest, not the body. I decided to change the club and find somebody more experienced. Now everything looks OK. We are working on bark&hold and Erko barks. We also work on escapes. The helpers say he "sucks the sleeve in".  It`s a pity I lost some time with a wrong trainer/helper.

aero993, thanks again and good luck!

It`s unfair that such a dog is not with his handler any more. They had a lot to do and achieve in sport..

There is a new picture gallery up on Chico Stanford's site of Egon:  http://www.chicostanford.com/egon%20gallery.htm
