I love that picture!! Steve is a great trainer and awesome to work with from what I hear. I assume you are training for PSA? Would love to see you on the field!
I believe Fasco is from Asheley Winter's Vrijheid's F litter. His mama was a big, hard female (PH1) who was ridiculously appropriate and interactive with other dogs and people!
Thanks for sharing!

He's a great guy, Fosco is a beast! I seen him hit the sleeve a few times and was seriously impressed. I was working with Steve on Zoey's issue's but the wife didn't want me doing any bite work (We did try it and she has prey drive like no other)
I haven't worked with Steve lately since life has been seriously busy but hope to start working with him again soon.

May I ask why the wife didn't want bite work? I only ask in order to hear different reasons why....

We adopted Zoey not knowing her aggression issues, we were told she was a sweet pea with no aggression issues. We found out later that she isn't fond of guys and has gone after a couple of them, 1 bled but most didn't. She feared that bite work would make Zoey MORE aggressive.
I said with proper training, it would make her much more predictable and we would be able to control any issues better than now. I did do 1 class and everyone was very impressed with her drive.
