Excellent news Haz. So glad you found the memory card. Sky….wow!! She’s perfect, beautiful and sorry to say, I’m envious of whomever bought her once you returned back to Canada. I can see why you purchased Mace. He’s one bad ass K9. Knowing now what he’s learned already from you and how well he is progressing, someone will never live in fear with Mace by their side. I can’t wait for the day when I’m able to purchase my very own GS.
YES!! You found the memory card!! Our prayers have been answered!! Awesome to be able to see a bit of an origin story on the K9s before they arrived in North America, and that facility is OUT OF THIS WORLD. K9 "Enzo" was in the first kennel when you were recording your line up, but I don't recall him being in any of the "unveiling" videos. Are we going to be able to see him and some of his work?
What a faciliity !! Just a fun, interesting video taking us on a behind the scenes tour and process of selecting dogs. Love seeing Mace (although brief) on his home turf and hearing your initial comments on him knowing already how he is responding and training up.
I really like the exercise you do to test the dogs for drive and bitework. Thank you for sharing. You got a bunch of badass dogs this trip. Enzo and Skye are AMAZING dogs I'm blown away. I love how you say Dutchies are hard to work with, but they seem to be your favorite breed to work with. 😄
Glad you found the stick! Always watching and learning everything about shepherd behavior in their formative training.. it is fascinating and thank you from a current shepherd owner who is always training me!
That was such a fun video mate. Mike is a dazzling dog. I started training GSD at a young age but moved away from my trainer and never got a chance to get back into it. You know you get busy living life. Now in my late 50s im starting to think about taking on a new dog. Something challenging and fun. It was alway my dream to go to europe and pick a real winner of a sport dog. My last boy was a GSD ,one of gento van haus lorins relations. What a dog. Always thanks for the great clips
Very interesting to see the prospective dogs that you ended up purchasing, I really liked Mace the Dutch Shepherds are misunderstood and really need to be handled carefully☺
My brother got a all black German shepherd police dog from Germany. And he’s beautiful. Looks like no other that I’ve seen.. Me myself own 2 American Akitas and I love them so much. They’re my kids 🤣🤣
Best country in the world and some bad ass dogs like the Dutchies! But then I'm biased 😂. Great video and good to see a top trainer like you in Holland, shopping for dogs. Look forward to seeing them at your place
Bro.... Just seen Mace now for the first time right now, still watching the video. Had to pause and just say that holy SHIT he is a freak of nature! BEAUTIFUL DOG. Thats your dogs favorite dog right there ahaha. Good stuff man!
Haz that is really awesome..you know exactly what you want in K9’s and right in Holland..truly have that special talent with dogs and that lineup looks fantastic..especially Skye 👍👊💕
Thanks for this videon 🐶🎥 The dogs you picked wow!! When it comes to the Volvo 😄 Glad you got to ride in a safe Swedish car 🇸🇪 Here in Sweden it’s mostly safety before everything 😏
I just got a Czech pup and believe me, they have drive!!! I've had West German dogs, East German dogs and Czech dogs. Without a doubt, my Czech pup has drive plus. I'm expecting great results with this dog.
@@52Blue1 The Czech dogs are bred and trained as border dogs. That is to patrol a fence. By DDR I'm assuming you mean the East German dogs. One thing I can tell you is the East German bloodlines are only about thirty years old as far as them getting imported to the US. The Czech line came from these East German bloodlines. The West German dogs have been around for many years and, unfortunately, been subject to a lot of bad breeding over this long period of time.
Laughing my butt off at what a sweetie Mace turned into...in Haz's hands of course - I'm sure he would still be a gangster with any new handler. I gotta say though, Haz can pick'em better than most. It's funny watching this video knowing how well everything turned out not just with Mace but with Sky & the rest.
Have you ever worked with the giant schnauzer, boerboel or the Akbash & Kangal type dogs for personal protection/guardian type of work? Would be cool to see some videos training/working with diff species ect if you have the content!
Gaurdian breeds aren't that great for pp because there's a lot of obedience and drive needed. They are more tanks than a more active option like gsd. I do think he's done work with presa though. And I've seen some amazing schnauzers in igp
Nice footage,got some nice dogs and showed also many bad ones which met theyre thereshold very quick...you cant expect much from a green dog but being broken so easily as for a short stand off with a civil agitator ,the nerves are lacking...hope many of them will end up in good dept,especially that female named sky,very promising specimen
Question is there a difference between a working police dog and one that people use for pure competition. I hope my question makes sense thanks enjoy your videos
Why did you go to the Netherlands? That "seller" is not even a dutch breeder. The dogs are bred in numbers in the Czech Republic and shipped to the Netherlands and elsewhere. Those guys are just good at selling their dogs. The seller is not even registered with houdenvanhonden (Raad van Beheer), where you get an official pedigree.
14:03 "nope" the first dog was not scared at all. the second dog was fearful. To the average person the dog looks like a beast but when the decoy attacks the dog is sacred.
When you’re testing the dogs In the bitework are you only doing that sort of test on a little more mature of a dog? Would you do a similar test (boogie man type test with your hood up) on a younger dog? Under a year?
He would usually only buy dogs a year and older. Due to the fact that dogs change a lot when they mature. You could have a superstar puppy that grows up to be mediocre and you can have puppies that look like they can't do the work grow up to be excellent dogs. So puppies tend to be unpredictable in their quality. While as a year and older dogs are usually the final product, the true final version of the dog. So usually if the dog can't do anything after a year it doesn't have it. Buying adults is the most sure way to get a quality dog. So naturally he mostly tests adult dogs. Now he does have puppy tests but they aren't the same tests he would do with an adult dog.
0:56 that is the most American thing you could possibly come up with. "oh we're in Europe, the all drive left because Europe" while it's leggit one country out of 30 that does that
Haz. Question if they are selling you dogs that you consider good. Where are the great dogs they are keeping for themselves as usually they let the dogs go that they don’t want? As a buyer that would be my concern as why are they selling them.
Sometimes a buyer like Haz comes along that looks for things in a green dog in an unconventional way that shows the seller that they just parted with some of their better stock. Curious to see how they approach Haz next time. ie "Here's our most fearless dogs based on what we think you're looking for."
