Hey John (and the rest ofcourse!! ) You probably already know, but I'm training for obedience with Rolex, and I've started with the VZH yesterday. (I've seen that there's no name for it in English?!) Rolex is a dog who likes to work hard, so at the obedience he's bored real soon. This VZH is the right thing for him, you can see he enjoys the training and is working really well! Because I'm not yet that far with the obedience, there's a little difference between Rolex and the other dogs, but as it seemed yesterday, I can be very proud! ;D Not sure if we'll make the exam (I think we will.. but you never know if we pass) but I'm working with my dog... and that's what I love to do! Greetz, Mo

My female Amstaff (nearly 4 years): I have trained obedience with her a lot, we have fun and now we will try to do the competition. I have been with her at shows, she´s got a very good body, she´s white with brindle signs, the white colour is not more than 80% but I think her colour maybe not so good for the shows. We train agility and do seek. The seek is track from wildanimals, she´s very good at it and I will start her on a test. Like I told before on this site, I have Daschhunds at home. The Daschhunds have the Championtitle for this kind of seek, and I see no problem for my Amstaff to be that, her nose work as good as the Daschhunds. She has done a Mentaltest/Temperamenttest, succesful. Now in May she will do something who´s named "Korning" in Sweden, it´s a "bigger"Mentaltest/Temperamenttest. The people who saw here do the first Mentaltest, told me she will handle the "bigger"test with no problem, we will see. I have train(just a little) her for seeking "wildpigs", the hunters I know ask me to bring her to the woods, I´m not sure I want to do that. When they ask me to bring the Daschhunds it´s ok, then we hunt other animals. "Wildpigs" seems a little bit of scary to me, maybe I quit seek them with her. Any advice?
My male(nearly 2 years): He´s the reason I find this Forum. I asked John for advice about him. He´s the kindest of kindest but he has a very BIG motor. How good I ever can work my female, he will be better. He´s a real working dog. At first I tought that I must calm him down before I work him hard, but I change that - I work him hard to calm him down. Now I train him for obedience G1 at "Workingdog Club", he have tried agility, he´s just throw him self in every moment, must slow him down, but he loves it. And he have tried a little bit of seek wildanimals. He has been at two shows, he has a good body but maybe the wrong colour for shows: black & fawn. Carina

Forgot to tell that the male soon do his Mentaltest/Temperamenttest, I think there´s no problem at all. I tried him for a special test at Daschhunds Day, it was on "Wildpigs", not real, just the skin in a bush, who moved forward from the bush. Here I could see that he have no fair but a wise head, he act very good. And something I told before but think it´s very fun. It´s that my daughter 12 years old train the female Amstaff at the "Working Club", they train obedience, agility and "human"seek. Soon she will chose one of the three, to work that one harder, maybe she also can start competiton? I know she want to do that. Carina

Carina I'm just curious. What's a dachhund in swedish? And then I'm wondering about the colour of your amstaff male. Black and fawn, what's that? Maybe you meen black and tan. I will hold my thumbs for your korningtest with your female and MH with the male. Hold me update. In the end of this month I will start competion in obedience I again. I will try to take 3 first prices to have the titel. I already have 1 and are admit to start in class II, but he's not ready yet for the " long laydown" in class II (3minutes without seeíng me).

And the colour...The colour is named Black & Fawn in his "book". Fawn=beige and Tan=more red, like you seen at exempel Rottweiler,Dobermann. Carina

Hello all,
I'm still trudging along with my pack. At almost eight months, I'm down to 3 of the 4 males looking pretty good for sport work. The 4th one is just a big ol pretty boy who'd rather be sleeping on someones sofa. He will eventually go to a home where he gets that special "one-on-one" but I made a promise to myself (and the pups) to wait until they were 1 year of age before making any serious decisions as to who stays and who goes. I will be attempting French/Mondio Ring sport with these guys and have luckily had my 2 year old Malinois to help show me the ropes. I have/will make many mistakes with the Mal and hopefully be better prepared for the pit bulls :-) I am also looking forward to my first rare breed conformation show (ARBA) over the Memorial Day weekend as 3 of these pups look as good as they work thus far. I hope to take at least 2 of them. Now, the hard part, teaching them to stand still!
Bye fur now, Leri
