Christmas Pictures of Molly’s Kids

 

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

Both these boys are in-tact ( not neutered) and yeah, they live with two male chihuahuas (one intact) and 3 stupid cats.

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?


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.

Schutzhund 3!

Another brag for Barb of Alderbach German Shepherds, but this time with a different dog.  A Schutzhund 3 for Chip with a high-in-trial tracking score of 98! This is Chips second time passing his Schutzhund 3.
Below is Chip on the retrieve.
