Happy Birthday!!.....tomorrow. - Page 1

Ok here are some pics of my soon to be one year old pup tomorrow.  My little boy is all grown up..... sniff sniff.

Bravo Vom Eisenherz.  Last checked he was about 78 lbs.  He is brother to Brix from the other thread.  The dead thing in the pics is just his little fox Wubba that

he plays with.

Woohoo! Happy Birthday to your handsome boy!

His coat looks GREAT! ....But OHHH the shedding to come! lol

Thank you Clee27 and Kellyj.

Actually his  coat isn't too bad to take care of, but yes it's more work than a stock coat  :)

Hi, I'm the owner of his sire, Chico. How is his temperament, intellegence and attitude. if you don't mind my asking.

Hi Angie/Larry , his temperament is great.  As he has grown older, he and my daughter were allowed more time to hang out.  She is about 19 months old and crawls and steps on him often ( i try to stop her as soon as i see it
happening but she is super quick) and he calmly endures it or just gets up and leaves.  When training for the sleeve though he is very intense and intimidating.  I was told by our trainer (Ronnie Weiss) he had really nice balanced drives, and good aggression, he likes him.  His tracking is stellar, his obedience did take some time to convince him to do it.  But even i find obedience a bit boring. He is doing really good now though.

He is very intelligent and picks things up pretty quick.  Convincing him to always do it is another story as he gets bored sometimes, but he is pretty compliant most times.  I am sure more so than Brix.

He is a happy, playful pup.  He loves attention.  Some people talk about dogs having an "off" switch.  Well unfortunately he doesn't.  He has what i call an "annoying" switch.

He is either very annoying, or just regular annoying. lol.  I like him a lot though.  If i had to do it over, i would definately buy him again, even with his annoyingness and long coat.  :)

Generally I am not a huge fan of bicolors, but when they have that kind of pigment, I think they are stellar! What a gorgeous dog! I love how his eyes contrast with the rest of his coat.

If you decide his annoying switch and long coat are too much to handle, I'll take him off your hands. ;P

He sounds so typical of Chico progeny. They make very good police dogs for us but all can be so darn annoying cuz they always want to be doing something wether Angie feels like it or not. They can be downright nasty in protection work and bring alot of natural aggression to the table which is what I want in my police dogs. Most of the people that have them find that they have to do something with them, they are just not couch potatoes. Thanks for the insight and good luck. If Ronnie likes him, I trust his judgement. Best of luck.

Also, I owned Snoopy in his later years and Snoopy's brother Sid for many years and both could also be annoying. Sid is better now but he is 12 but still loves protection work. We really liked Jen's Capri and she was extremely stable and enjoyable to be around while she was here for her breeding. Jen found a very good foundation female for her program and I believe she is breeding for the right reasons.

Happy Birthday, Bravo! Well said with that annoying switch...LOL I think his half brother has that one too....from good boy to annoying in overdrive! How else is he? Bouncy, jumpy, demanding, ball hog??
