Drago Vom Patriot - Does Anyone Have His Pups?

[martemchik]

I'm looking at a pup from his uncle, Nick del Lupo Nero, I've heard a lot of good things about Drago and also his father. I still need to look up how Nick works, but I'm basing my decision mostly on the female and my trust of the breeder.

The vocal part scares me though, I have a very quiet, confident shepherd right now, and really don't want one that whines/barks/speaks all the time.

Got some great fotos ...Gary brought up again the other week, when they were up for our IPO trial.

Denise, who did a repeat breeding (she is the breeder of Frank's dog) and I talk about what we are seeing, comparisons to the prior litter, etc. It is nice to talk to another breeder (who also trains and competes - Denise does in IPO AND Agility) about similar breedings.

The pups (that we are both seeing) are strong, attitude, vocal, quick to learn and figure out things. Into, over and through everything. Drago produces strong females - Denise stated this as well, from her experience with the prior breeding (she kept a female back).

I have been following Drago for a little bit now and your litters as well. I like a strong female. This is very nice to hear.

Definitely would not mind owning a pup out of Drago, especially a nice female.

I have heard good things about him.

No 'hands on knowledge' so no help there, but I have done a bit of research and like what I know so far.

Congrats on the great litter Sue!
