Until this morning I had no idea that dutches were such serious dogs. I think I will just stick to my gsd. When I was training meeka on one session about a year ago , well she turned her "attention" on me one time. It was not a good feeling. But it hasn't happened since. I use marker training now

I think if I get a Dutchie I'll wimp out and get a mild female. My problem with them they are too damn quick. there is a vid floating around of a decoy who used his sleeveless arm/hand to "correct" a weak grip on the sleeve. The dog went from the sleeve to an inside arm bite so damn quick you couldn't not see it, looked a damn magic trick it was so fast. You had to see the slow mo on that. Decoy earned a few sutures with that stunt.

Sweeeeeeeet Dennis!!!!!!

somebody posted it here somewhere, Russian or Eastern Europe decoy, even had some ER vid to it

I am no good at all with the search function......could someone find it for me?
I am search challenged......

I've been trying... haven't located it yet.

hi all thanks for the thoughts, yes to someone a few posts back. i will be taking advice from my trainer not the internet. i believe in him - hell if he has me fooled then he has kept a whole buch of cops, soldiers & blind people fooled for a long time, seems unlikey.

be a lllllong time before any decoy/bite work starts if ever - be on the tracking, herding, agility and obed fields way first.

my local kennel club is going to start "Rally-O??" whatever that is some form of agiltiy without jumps/dancing with dogs or sumthin??? anyone savvy that.

the tech guy here (skinny pale young guy with pimples and no girlfriend) will turn my pix into code so should get something up.

I for one think it's been an interesting trip Peter.

Good luck with your new pup. I hope it all turns out like you want it to.
Keep us posted on things.
In other words don't be a stranger....share.

Dennis I remember that clip, but not sure that it was posted here. Unless I am thinking of a different one.

PPD story;

some years ago my sister got her house broken into when she was not there. the apartment is a high second story building.

thinking that something like that would never happen again in one persons lifetime she got over it. only a few weeks later the guy came back again only this time she was there alone in her bedroom.

she was so frozen with terror she could not even touch the mobile phone that was inches away. the guy robbed the place and left. she was a ral mess and still getting over it.

the police ended up catching the guy through a completly unrelated series of events.

the interesting thing is that he had maps of the whole neighbourhood and lists of all the places he robbed and the ones he didn't. seems it is common for the same place to get robbed repeatedly.

all the places on his map that were marked were not robbed. the police found out that all these places had dogs. funny thing is not one was a protetion dog.

they were mainly toys dogs and pet breeds.

the fact that any dog present in an urban environment is a major detternt for organised criminals i guess due to their barking.

i thought if my sister had a PPD in her house she may have been much worse off becuase it could have made the guy fight. that particular guy was not violent but who knows. he robbed the same places over and over. the target was the buildings as the apartments often had new occupants.

he only lived a few doors away and was chasing money for drugs. in fact most people recognised him from the local store and some even had conversations with him.

a lot of nice people got a bit messed up by the experience and will probably remember it for the rest of their lives.
