My new boy... - Page 1

After haveing to put my male to sleep back in March of this year, I FINALLY decided it was time to get another male for SchH. I have only had Xena, the one in my avitar, for almost a year as the only dog and am going to continue working her. But wanted to get a young male now as she will be 7 in May.

So I searched for a long time and 2 weeks ago on Monday I got my new boy! His name is Koal.. He is a green dog, which is what I wanted. He has a nice temperment and is bonding well with me. He is such a love bug.. I have done a little OB with him and he is a very quick learner and has a great willingness to please. Oh and OMG does he has FOOD DRIVE!!!!! Gota watch those finders... or heaven forbit I have a treat in my pocket... the pocket will be torn open(luckily hasnt happened yet, but it was close)...lol.
He has awesome ball drive as well.
I will be taking him to the club this Sunday. This will be the first time I have done bitework with him. He did bitework in Germany and some here in the USA before I purchased him. He has nice grips and high prey drive.

He is going to be a joy to train...

So here is Koal...
He is 14 months old.
His hips/elbows were A stamped in Germany and are NORMAL (A1)
ZW of 77
DM -- CLEAR ( did the test before I purchased him)

Here are some pictures I took on Christmas when it was POORING down raining... he had a blast playing in the rain. In the last picture
he grabbed a lemon off of the tree and was playing with it.

He has a strong look in his eyes

NICE.
He looks confident, love his coat and expression.

VERY NICE BOY.  Congratulations.  Enjoy.  Nan

You know I have to ask - how's his tracking? :)

Congratulations on your new German.

Handsome!

Very nice looking boy, and I too love his full coat!  He's gorgeous!  All the best with him. :)

Very serious looking boy, nice looking dog, enjoy him and keep us updated!

Thanks everyone. I will post more as I get to know Koal better. So far I couldnt be happier with him.

Laura,
I have not done any tracking with him yet. I will tomorrow at club day.
