Hi Phillip and Amanda,
Hope you are all well, thought we’d drop you a few lines after our latest aquasition from you, that’s three now! Ace is getting on fine with the others and early fun/search training is going well (plenty of drive there!). He is getting used to his new surroundings and all the other new sights and sounds he takes in his stride, his real training regime will start in about three months when he’ll be a year old, i think he’ll make a great sniffer dog by the early signs.
Quinn, the black Labrador from yourselves went onto pass his Home Office assessment and now is an Arms/Explosive search dog for a private firm. I still have a lot of regrets of selling him but after the training with him he really was the sort of dog that needed to work full time and i think it would have been unfair to him to keep him if i couldn’t give that to him.
Sky, the German Shepherd sourced by you continues to excell in just about all areas of her work, Her tracking and protection work still amazes us when we train her. She is now tracking on all different types of surface for long distances and very good on stopping at all articles on the tracks. I am hoping to put her for a tracking test later this year.
Max, the long haired German Shepherd will always be our number one and although he is mainly a pet dog his working abilities are coming through, no doubt steered on by Sky.
We thank you for his early training during my spell in hospital and all you have done for us in the past years. You have found us three very high class dogs who have excelled in three very different disciplines to a very high standard, and for your ongoing help through the years. Hope to see you soon
Martin and Esme
Max, Ace and Sky.
