BREEDING AND TRAINING GERMAN SHEPHERD DOGS

Update on some of Ira's pups

You asked me to send you pictures of my "baby" and like any proud Dad, I got carried away, even if it is a dog. I know you and Jim must be very interested in genetics and therefore I tried to give you pictures that showed her body, head, and coloration. She seems to be becoming more red with time because of the undercoat, which shines red when the sun is out. She seems to be very large for a female and was 77 pounds at the vet today. I don't think I am feeding her too much. She also seems quite long, which the pictures may not show.

I am not an expert on temperament but I will try to give you her characteristics: She does not appear to be bothered by anything, loud noises, other dogs, thunder, going into stores,etc. She strikes me and the dog trainer as being highly intelligent. She learns extremely fast; I as well as the dog trainer noted that she tries hard to please. She is the favorite of the trainer who stated that she has the best temperament of any shepherd she has worked with. That does not mean she is not boisterous, mischievous, and full of fun but she performs beautifully during the classes. The trainer likes to use her as an example. She has a very distinctive gait lifting her paws high when trotting or walking fast. Aside from the above, she is extremely energetic and is running and jumping all of the time. She is a much better dog when she gets lots of exercise and in fact she needs it because of her high energy level.

She is a big jumper and I have never had a dog that can jump so high from essentially a standing position. Her other two favorite things to do , like most shepherds, is to fetch balls and to sniff them out when they are in ivy etc. She has a great nose and can spell a hidden tennis ball from many feet away. It is fun to play hide and seek with her.

She may or may not have the attributes for being a schutzhund as I would not know. However, she is certainly a great family dog. That is why I sent you the pictures with the kids. She loves children but can play a bit rough for a two year old which is not surprising for a juvenile dog. I don't know what kind of guard dog she may be and I don't want her to get over protective as there are too many people around. A bite in our area would be costly. However, she is be big enough and will look fierce enough that nobody will enter my property anyway. She already raises a ruckus when somebody walks down our private road past our house. She likes playing with other dogs but gets a bit rough. She now has reached the stage that if a dog growls at her, she take great offense to that. Her only negative qualities is that she has systematically pruned my plants and drip systems not to mention chewing up sprayers, garage siding, and a few other things that I was too stupid to protect. obviously, she gets bored easy and I understand that she is using dog psychology on me to give her more attention. The bottom line of all the above is that if somebody should worry about the temperament of a dog from you because the parents have a strong "schutzhund" background, they need not worry. Intelligence and temperament are your critical qualities and I am sure the genetics of your dogs are the best for multiple purposes. It is all in the training. I hope the pictures and my analysis will be of interest to you.

new pictures of Bailee 3-07-2004 below
Jim & Cindy,
Where do I start? Bailee has become everything my two-year old Fritz is not. She is my baby, already my protector, and my friend. She also at ten months works Mom quite nicely, which has forced me to start over and be a much different handler. My biggest challenge is to keep her from training me rather than the other way around.
As you both know Bailee has begun to prove herself as a strong contender in both bite work and tracking. I feel sorry for the guys who will be catching this powerhouse when she is an adult dog. She is quick to learn, which can be exhausting because she is so quick to challenge me and this keeps me trying to stay one step ahead. I will always be amazed how Jim can look at a bounding group of puppies and make the perfect match as he has with Bailee and I.
Both of your support in training and sculpting Bailee and I to a great working team will always be appreciated.
I am truly thankful to have "Team Truehaus" as my extended family.

Update 6-12-2004
Cindy & Jim,
As Cruiser approaches his first birthday, it seems fitting to drop you a line along with some pictures.
We are very pleased with our dog. He is intelligent, good looking, self-assured, people friendly, very energetic, intense and he keeps us laughing!
We think we made an excellent decision to acquire our dog from you. We first learned of Truehaus by visiting your website which resulted in our visit to your kennel. We were impressed with your facilities, training and animals. Your puppy program which includes socialization, analysis & evaluation of the pups, proper health care and hands-on management prepares the pups for a successful future.

Your interest and follow-up "after the sale" is refreshing and appreciated. We have and will continue to refer friends and strangers who are looking for high quality German Shepherds to Truehaus.
Regards,
Jim and Paula Erle
