We were very fortunate to be in a position to purchase Gandhi. After one year of negotiating we finally got a yes to purchase Gandhi.
Gandhi is a KNPV PH 1 & PH 2 German Shepherd import from Holland. Gandhi earned his coveted KNPV PH 2 degree in July of this year with a near perfect score of 418 points.
Gandhi is also the father of our newest German Shepherd puppy Sting, who is turning out to a amazing Dog. Aesthetically Gandhi is stunningly beautiful to look at, he is a big robust dog with a head like a lion, with a straight back that walks straight on his toes, and NOT on his hocks like you see in so many German Shepherd in today’s world. In his protection he is absolutely devastating, he comes in fast and hard with a bone crushing bite. Gandhi is a very head strong dog, with nerves of steel, but at the same time he can be very sociable, affectionate, and loves to hang out with children. He is very calm in every day life and great in the house.
Gandhi will now go through our Elite Family Estate Protection Dog Program. This is a one in a million opportunity, he definitely was phenomenal find.
After a short two hour drive we made it to Turin, New York to deliver Derick.
Derick is a Slovak German Shepherd import that had been trained up to our Executive Protection Dog program. He was everything that our clients were expecting; he acclimated very well into such a busy household, with three small children and two large Dogs. Derick is a another example of the top quality personal protection dogs that we deliver to all of our clients. It is deliveries like these that make my job so rewarding, and to know that Derick will protect his family 100% as a true Protection Dog.
A happy dog is a dog that is physically and mentally stimulated. Your Personal Protection Dog needs to work and be exercised on a daily basis. I don’t know how many times I seen or hear about someone with a good working dog that only takes them out of the run twice a week to their local club to stimulate the dog. To me this is definitely not enough. We work our Protection dogs seven day a week. In fact a relaxed day for us would be to walk our dogs five miles, three time a day. I personally walk my talk, I will literally walk five miles a day, and it is not an uncommon sight to see me walking with four or six dogs in the city.
One of the best ways to stimulate your protection dog is to have him follow you on a bike, you can cover a long distance at a very fast-paced, in a short amount of time. It is important however when riding with your protection dog that you have him on the curbside, for the safety of the dog. The following is a video that we shot in Holland with a experience KNPV handler and his Dutch Shepherd at a local KNPV club on a bike.
This video is a demonstration of the basic obedience exercises within the KNPV PH 1 Program. Note that handler must do a series of turns through pylons, first on lead, then off lead on examination day.
We filmed this video on one of our many trips to the Netherlands in one of the Local K.N.P.V Clubs. The handler in this video is an experienced KNPV handler, notice that when he is handling his Dutch Shepherd that he exercises the three main points of doing obedience, calm assertive energy, communication, and a loose lead.
Rocky is a KNPV Belgian Malinois import from Holland. Rocky holds the coveted tiitle KNPV PH1. In this video Rocky is demonstrating guarding the article exercise within the KNPV program. This video of Rocky was literary filmed four hours after we picked him up from the airport. Rocky is just another example of one of the top quality protection dogs that we deliver to all our clients.
Zina is a KNPV German Shepherd puppy that we had bred. She is only six months old in this video but we have been training her since she was five weeks old.
The work that we do is very special and different, much different then what you would see in the sporting world. In the KNPV when they do the article search they have their dogs find the article and bring it back to the handler, to me this makes no sense at all, why would you allow or train your dog to pick up an article that you may need for evidence.
Zina is a KNPV German Shepherd puppy that we had bred. She had started her training at five weeks of age. Note that she is only six months in this video, and the little girl was out in the woods two hours before we started the track. Also note that food was NOT the motivation to find the missing girl, and the little girl was a complete stranger to us.
Sting is a KNPV German Shepherd puppy import from Holland. This is a video of Sting doing bite work at thirteen week. This is the second time that he had been doing bite work.
Note, that sting went right on the suit from the first time, at no time was he biting on a towel or tug, for we don’t use towel, tugs, or sleeves in our training.
Zina is a KNPV German Shepherd puppy that we had bred and held back for our breeding program. She was the pick of the litter female. Zina started her training at five weeks. This is a Video of her doing bite work at six months old on an old French Ring suite.
