I have some really good video of him i will send you email later..

Rick, no fair emailing the video to only one person! I want to see video of Iron too!!! Can you put it on youtube.com then post the link for us? Please?

Yeah!!! Sandy's right!!!

It's always disappointing when you're following a thread, eagerly waiting for advice/pictures/videos and the person goes and sends it privately

I'd love to see videos of your guy Rick!

Thanks, Mike IRON has become a very strong part of our family, my whole life I have been raised around a lot of hard and strong dogs mostly Sch and Civil trained Dobermans. But “Iron” is the strongest and most INTENSE but smart one yet for me. From there titles and work, he got it honest though his Mother and Dad are very intense.

Angelique what’s your boys name?

What I meant in the post to Angelique is that I had video of Falk the Dad the “Godfather” lol.. But I do have some video of Iron doing Sch and Defense work , but I must warn you first I am dumb as a rock with the computer. I will get some of my guys to figure it out and post them

Ok here is 2 Obedience off leash with Iron the week I bought him Nov 06, The handler is Wayne Curry the owner of Kraftwerk , I am working on the other video’s the files are to big so my guys are down sizing them tomorrow and will place them on my sever but this “putfile” worked today.

Iron-1

Iron-2

Wow Rick, Iron looks awesome!!

He's so quick and happy with his obedience; looks like Wayne did a great job with him. Lucky you, Iron must be a fun dog to work

Thanks for posting the videos, Iron is a gorgeous dog (love the rich pigment of his coat). I hope I can get my pup to perform like that some day... maybe... )

All we need now is for Angelique to post videos of her dogs working... hehe, still waiting for that )

Hi Rick,
He is registered as Banderos, but we call Bandit.(kids helped)He is 14 months will be 15 months exacly the 15th of march.I looked it up to make sure.I always get his age wrong....
I changed my signature photo so you can see the resemblence.Iron reminds me of Bandit like no other, and not just the coat but the head and the way he performs ,small stuff like the way he looks at his handler, always ready for the next move.I absolutely love Bandit he is a true Schutzhund dog ,I am looking so forward to train hard with him, he is a bullet ,a ball of energy that is so easy to apply to a lot of training exercise, his recall is so fast that I think one day he is going to break my knees.Falk is such an amazing stud he really has reproduced so many great great dogs, an amazing stud..Iron's video is nice ,Iron looks absolutely stunning.Better than his photos.
We'll meet at your next trip hopefully!

Yuko thanks for the kind words, and your dog in signature is a great looking dog, What’s the name? Love that snow muzzle. And Wayne had only 2 days with Iron when he made that video he had just arrived from Germany. And I swear he works better than the video for me now, I personally don’t ever work Iron with food and very little ball reward in Obedience or Protection, lots of praise, some ball and his drive for work just gets higher. I am a firm believer you or anyone else can get there pup to perform just that hard or harder with lots of practice, trust and profound pack structure. After a lot of studying and working I now see that this is the most important part of having a working dog well; any dog but especially a working dog that uses his mouth. There are some great DVD’s on this site from Ed on that.

Angelique I swear Bandit and Iron look like twins and I know you two will do great in the Schutzhund work or trails. Its great spending all that time with a dog going through the pain of being right all the time
If Bandit is only 15 months now all I can say is you will have your hands full, they have a very dominant and intense trait in them.
There is another one of there brothers on the German team for finals I will get you pics but he looks a lot like them.

Yep I will be back in Vegas probably in a month or so, Cant wait to break bread with you and the hubby. Taking the family on holiday to Bahamas and St. Kitts for the month of May. Even Iron just got his paper work back last week that should be a trip to remember.

Yes you are so right, he is very stubborn ,I see it in his eyes.
Bahamas, very nice and Iron gets to go, I will not let Bandit know about this He'll think he was shipped to the wrong house.They get to be boarded for the vacation coming..
I think your are blessed with Iron, and he's blessed to be part of your family. I want to see pics you are getting for sure of another falk son...

Yuko, all I need is you to come over to do it for me!!
I have great vidoes too, I just can't download it , it always tell as me it's too many MB but I don't know how to reduce it.I have no computer knowledge other than type and send
