I just caught this thread... you must be SO proud!! You obviously do a REALLY good job of picking prospects and working them, too. Kudos to you and your K9 dogs!!

Thanks....guess I've been kinda lucky.....have an 11month old pup out of the sire of Chris that we are getting ready for some serious training this fall. Most of the police training I do with the academy takes place in fall and spring....so far I think he has real nice potential.

Very true. I always see that when some sees that a dog will bite forreal they always say, "oh he would be a excellent police dog". Never taking into account the main item needed, nosework. It's good that through posts on Chris many will see there is more than just bitework.
