Eagle and Kobra with their two house mates–the Chihuahuas, oh yeah and three house cats, not pictured.

Eagle is  Schutzhund 3 - 25 times over.  Eagle is also 7X FH, competed in National-level FH Championships 5X, is the 2007 AWDF FH Champion, and was 3rd in the North American FH Championships.  He got 95 points in his FH2 title under an SV judge.  He is also CGC, is certifed Therapy Dogs International, and is a trained Cadaver Detection K9.  We were also on the FCI Schh3 World Team in 2004. This big tough schutzhund dog is in-tact (not neutered) yet shares his house with Kobra an in-tact female and 2 Chihuahua’s - one in-tact, and three house cats.
 

Kobra (a female) is a certified narcotics detection K9, BH, in training for SChh titles. 

Eagle and Kobra are bred, trained, and owned by Molly Graf.  Molly is well known for many years of trialing in schutzhund.  I could give that Eagle on the left he biggest kiss.

What is REAL?

Posted by Julie under Schutzhund

REAL

My definition: is very advanced obedience, tracking with a purpose of finding even tiny articles let alone a body, and protection has to be part of it. 

Schutzhund was designed to prove the breed in Germany and if it is not part of a training program then I feel the German Shepherd dog is not being developed to be a real working dog. 

Herding is real also but not exclusive for the shepherd breed whereas it is difficult to find breeds that truly excel in the three phases of schutzhund like the German Shepherd Dog.

Valor Protection Training

Valor, a Czechoslovakian import,  is a dog bred for serious work of a different kind.  At 11 months he was being trained as a police dog in Czechoslovakia .  Now closing in on two years on 1/1/07, he is every inch the dog bred for that kind of work.  Valor is the pride and joy of his owner Barbara Eichman, MD.
