Jasper isa Bax Von Preutia son ans is following in his father's footsteps. Again, Congratulations Von Waldhimmel DECEMBER 7, 2008 We are happy to announce that Vix v Polarkreis completed his AD, BH, Sch1 and KK1 by November 22 of this year and is back home here in NY. Along the way his trainers also took the time to show him in three show events. The results were quite gratifying.

There are many videos Andreas and Isa took on their website of some early training they were doing with Vix back in June. Of course, these are quite dated now. Yesterday, one week after his returning home, Vix did his first protection training with Steve Simkins and I. He was quite responsive to all commands and released always by the second Aus. Two different people worked his leash. He bites with real conviction and a full mouth. He is very quick. The more aggressive the handler's move the more aggressive Vix becomes. However, the best part is, Vix loves puppies and is not the least aggressive with other dogs. To my delight and surprise, you can see Andreas and Isa put a lot of time in with the dog. While there are always difficulties with people from two different cultures and languages trying to understand each other, after spending a couple of days at their home we both understood each other better. I have no problem in recommending them to people from my country for training their dogs. DECEMBER 6, 2008 It is with great honor we add this dogs win to this page. Pastor, was sold as a 12 week old puppy. Like all our dogs he was sold with a "Pet" Contract even though we knew it was the intent of the owner to breed and show him. His first owner was Fernando Burgos who showed the dog to his AKC Championship after we had introduced him to show ring and the numerous judges and handlers involved. After completing his title, Fernando decided to concentrate on only his German dogs. He asked me to help him find an owner that would promote the show career and betterment of the dog. We felt we accomplished this by selling him to the two families below. Perhaps this is a good time to paraphrase something I heard in the movie, "Rocky Balboa" when he was speaking to a review board about getting his license back to fight again ..... Look, I've come to accept the fact that as I grow older, there are some things I must leave behind, but not my integrity or the things I believe most in................ The dogs we have bred, trained, bought and shown. are my passion. Few people who have ever been to our home can understand my personal intensity and desire to compete and win. Though only one of Pastor Burgos ribbons was won with me handling him, it is his owners that have honored Pat and I, as his breeders, by showing him to his many wins and titles. We thank you all for such an honor and proudly put him on our website for the world to see. Thank you all.
