Hi Deanne,
I just wanted to let you know that I am very impressed with your breeding program. I have been training dogs for over 10 years
now and we have seen a lot of dogs.
I have worked with several of your clients and really enjoyed the pups. I just worked with one of your clients today and your dog
broke the typical mold that I see. There are certain patterns you begin to see when working with thousands of dogs.
A typical benchmark I find is that if a pup can learn down to a standing hand signal in under 10 minutes there is a good chance they
could develop an aggression problem later on in life. They recognize patterns extremely fast and quite often train their people better
than the people train them. I always joke with clients that if a dog can learn down to a standing hand signal in 15-60 minutes they are
in the A+ category, if they learn it in under 10 minutes they are in the evil genius category
The pup today learned down to 40 feet in 8 minutes. However he had all of these other more respectful traits. He never once
jumped on me, never tried to nip, he never chewed the leash or long line, he was polite and sat for attention. You could just see he
was a really good natured dog.
I am really excited to see how he turns out. I have been looking for that holy grail of a breeding program where you get
intelligence and respect. Typically they go in balance. If you get a highly intelligent dog they often lack respect. If you get a very
respectful dog they often lack intelligence. Often I find the low beta category is great for family pets, decent intelligence but quick
to respect and assume others are higher ranking.
This dog had the respect and blew the intelligence out of the water.
Very impressed, spot on breeding program. Keep up the great work, you have a big fan over here. If all breeders were like you
there wouldn’t be any rescues. Well placed dogs, well bred dogs, no need to surrender in the first place. It’s people like you that
make all the difference.
Cheers!
