Slam, what do you think of what jinipo is bringing in this country? And van den heuvel?

A true “Alpha Dog” is rare and should not be mistaken for a dog that bullies or dominates weaker dogs.

An alpha dog will challenge you every day and requires a very skillful handler and trainer.

Jim,

Does Boomers breeder have a website?

by lzaichenko on 30 September 2011 - 02:09

KellyJ, not that I'm aware of. The best way to contact Jody is by phone (she also lives in NY), or I'm sure through Deb.

Again, I agree with Kim. I think that is where the disagreement is coming in. There are lots of dogs w/dominant tendencies. Heck, they're predators; if you let them, they will dominate you. Simple fact. However, a TRUE alpha, I agree, is more rare. I think most people have "pushy betas" and mistake them for alphas.

I bred one dog like Kim describes...all day, every day challenge. Took several months to find a proper handler. I have only known a couple like this- the other kind are a dime a dozen.

A confident alpha with no insecurities doesn't need to be independently stubborn, and can still be a cooperative dog with it's handler.

Kelly, Debbie's website is:

WWW.proformancek9.com

If you PM me I will give you Jody's email, she may have a liiter now.

Nikos,
Van Den Heuvel seems to have some really nice dogs, but I have no first hand experience with them.

Kim.

I also agree.

Daryl, sure, but typically some bonding/respect-garnering is in order. "Challenge" doesn't necessarily mean challenging the handler in a confrontational or aggressive way.

"Yoschi threw dogs that were on the unpredictable side... "

Oh silly me. I forgot to read the INVISIBLE word "some."

by Nikos on 30 September 2011 - 11:09

I agree Daryl, but my questions were directed to the type of dog that is too confident and aggressive because he is genetically alpha; you describe a nice dog that wants to work for the human, an recognizes a human as alpha, and will never question who the master is
