This past weekend, I helped out the American Boerboel Club with several events.
On Saturday they had a herding trial and the ACAL (Amercian Certification of Aptitude to Work)
I entered K in all three levels, he passed them all with flying colors.
On Sunday they had the ATTS (American Temperment Test) I got to be the weird/aggressive stranger (suits me well LOL) Well at the end of the day I decided to put K in. He again passed with flying colors and one of the testers, who has Police K9's, came up to me at the end and congratulated me.. He was very impressed with K and I and told me I had the complete dog. He told me this is exactly what they look for in a dog, expecially one trained in protection, and that K had the perfect balance.
I am very proud of my boy

Tell us about yourself: Dogs are my life, what can I say. GSDs primarily for nearly 50 years til bringing in my first DutchShep about 4 years ago. GSD rescue for 9 yrs, nearly 200 thru my home, rehabbed, adopted out. Been involved in AKC ob, herding, tracking, agility; Schutzhund-DVG; scent detection (HR-water)&narcotics, some patrol work. Mostly herding training at present on my little farm.
That is a real compliment. From what I read on working dog lists and forums, a 'complete' k9 is a novelty, very few and very far between. That says a lot about your ability as a trainer. Congrats!
Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.
Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!
I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.
Thanks everyone.. yeah I am still kinda floating from this weekend
I might come down to earth soon lol
And Yes it made me feel great about both K and I

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind. Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32. Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!

Tell us about yourself: Had a GSD, am getting a DS puppy in a few weeks. Compete in agility, obedience, and cross train in tons of stuff. Found out about this site from the DS Rescue yahoo list.
Hope you're still on Cloud 9...you deserve it, both of you!
