I watched a program last night on Animal Planet, It showed parts of the k9 training programs that the US Military has in this case it was an airforce base texas.They showed tid -bits of bite sleeve training, agression training, some tracking and lots of Obedeiance Training. What was most interesting on my part was that fact that the commentator mentioned that MANY OF THE DOGS are imported from the czech-republic because of the super intense drives they have. Most are washouts but many do stay. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I thought it was interesting when the dogs had the medical crisis's from overheating. I know it's the natural drives of the dogs that make it continue to work when most dogs would have stopped (so making the medical emergency more serious), but wonder if the conditioning/heat tolerance of dogs from Czech dogs is different for a certain time period?
Think they said only 2 out of 10 (was that right?) of the dogs were accepted into the program in the first evaluation of the pups. And that started the day after the dogs got off the plane from Europe! Really shows how the genetic temperaments and socialization of the pup prior have to kick in right away, or the pups gone and out of the program so quickly.

The example they showed was the two dogs from czech-republic one female and one male, it turned out that the male was a washout and the female passed.You are correct in that within 48 hrs a descison is made. Right off the plane a quick bath some food and then a pass or fail test some sort of blind search in an office. I am sure they left out a bunch of stuff for the public NOT to see <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />.
I have imported a dog from the Czech. They do have very intense drives. All of my other dogs are also of Czech lines. They are very driven to please. Those drives can get a dog into a little trouble at times. I have one that has gotten into a porcupine 7 times in 2 years. I have another that thinks my rabbit cages are the drive through take out for a warm raw meal. It is why I have the rabbits but it is not a self serve all you can eat buffet. Got to give that girl some credit she has repetedly figured out any lock I have tryed to put on that cage. One of her pups is so driven she wants to attack lawn mowers weed wackers and any other loud piece of equipment. I can not even clean my horse stalls with out her attacking my manure fork. Yes she is my schutzhund prospect and I don't want to tone down these drives so I kennel her while I do my chores. She got her tracking certification at 19 weeks old. Czech dogs are work aholics there is no question about it.
