I saw an ad for a trainer today in a local paper.According to the website listed in the add he is very accomplished.(I was surprised at this since his location is somwhat close and no one I know had ever mentioned him...)
Listed as being a Tom Rose Graduate, supplier of police k-9's and personal dog trainer, his name is Mike D'Abruzzo. He states that he gets all of his dogs from a breeder in Europe(location not disclosed) named Branko Mrazovac. The website is http://www.k9-1.com ,for those who want to take a look.
HAs anyone ever heard of him ( or the European connection?)and does anyone know of his skills as a trainer?
Thanks in advance! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

A straight ace and good to go. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> from what I understand he will stand by his dog 100% as it should be.

Hmm, I went on his (Branko) website, but there wasn't much there. Hana, do you know anything of Branko or his dogs? I think I know someone who is considering a dog from this guy( now that I think about it) and I would like to get some outside advice for him if possible...Thank you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

OK, now this was very intersting! Seems to be very well established. I found it interesting the variety of breeds available and trained by the Mrazovac kennel.
What I was also shocked to see was that if you go to the dogs for sale link, you will see that ALL of the dogs that Mike D'Abruzzo has listed on his website as being available are actually on the Mrazovac site. And some of the photos were on both sites as well.....Hmmm..Hana, now I am even more curious about what , if anything, you can tell me about Branko and his dogs.
Thanks so much!!!

I really don't know the guy, he e-mailed me few months back wanting to sell dogs to me, wasn't interested. He seemed like nice guy tho. Looking at the GSD pedigrees he has posted, I would say all are show line. Can't comment on the other breeds, have no idea what lines they are? Nothing wrong having dogs posted on multiple web sites tho, done all the time.
