Herasforferder vom Leerburg

December 22, 2002

I am very happy with the dog I got from you Herasforferderer Vom Leerburg(Gideon X Lucy). Call name "Crusier." He has excellent drives and is everything I expected. He is a very HARD dog with Great fight drive, but he does love to please me and tries hard to get things right.I have looked for other litter mates of his in the Schutzhund mag but can't seem to find any. I wanted to see what they looked like and what they were doing.Crusier will be going for his BH in Feb. 2003. He would have had it faster but I have 5 other dogs I am also putting titles on. Here are some pics of his bite work . We have a National Helper in our club who caught Grappo. He said he was a Demon. He said Crusier is just like him. Crusier always has a confident full gripand great intensity in the blind and on the courage test.He has always been an excellent tracker. Since the day he came home he track everything.He is currently tracking 600-900 paces with at least 6-10 articles. I am very please with him.

Thanx so much,

Hey he's 22 month old now and hips look to OFA good (I had prelims done). He's SchH 1 and we will get his 2 in October and 3 next year.

Man Ed I can never tell you how much I owe you for Justice....awsome dog all around....and as my first working dog I really lucked out.

His retrieves are so good the only thing I'm working on is calming him down. His drive for the dumbell is so friggin high. He barks like crazy for it...it's getting better now though. Very fast retrieve...flat, jump, and wall.

He runs all 6 blinds now......very fast. His defense is very nice...all positive. Good thing I started early (well 19 months) as he is so high in prey he could have easily gotten locked in prey.

Hydi vom Leerburg

Ed-

Sorry for the delay.

She is doing well, growing fast using Bernhard tech. and she is progressing very well.

I have her with me at work under my feet. She is a good girl. Her drives are persistent; good ball and food, but not hard headed like Ronan was at this age.

She sit, stands out of drive, send away out of drive, bites out of drive, full and deep grips, comfortable next to me with ball/tug in mouth. Very, very little chewing. Willing to please is outstanding.

If you want to post these pictures go ahead and use them.

Regards-

Hi Ed,

Thought I would get this to you before the next season starts. Time flies! Peaches got this in May, not March. Oh well. She is still very wary of some people. Not so much for examinations, but one of the judges was walking very close to my back just before a halt command. Peaches lost points because she turned around, sat and just stared at him as if to say, "Back off buddy, that's my mom!" He did, too. She is now able to take much harsher corrections than Boomer. She jumps like a scalded cat. Can outrun a lizard or a low flying bird. What a girl!! As usual, thank you from the bottom of my heart for having such great dogs.

With affection always.

Dear Ed, Peaches(Marci-Rambo-Bella) is a bit shy yet in Utility. She is very close and passing Open nicely. Boomer(Odo-Ron-Ulla) did really well. He got two more UDX legs and two High GSD's. We probably won't go to any more shows until next year. As you can see, we do try. Sincerely,

Anne W. Hodde
