Training and Titling?? - Page 3

I am really impressed that so many of you are doing so great with your dogs. Every month when I get "The Review", the first thing I look at are the names of the GSD's that have earned working titles; there are many familar kennel names including some well-known working dog breeders. That's nice to see.

Only one ShH3 Startes Schutz in the US, befor that I did the Slovakian titles.
 FH2,some SVV1,2 and three attempts on SVV3...lol

Some SUP, ZM,  And some other small titles (one of them was put on a nervebag poodle)

some tracking titles, BHs and I will add to it at the end of this year as I am trialing at least two dogs.

I started with my Libby as a 7 week old puppy and trained her to:

SG Olivia vom Reichtal SchH3 (3x) IPO3 WH Kkl2 AD TR3 OB3 CD HIC CGC TC (my sister did the OB3 with her for experience in handling)

Then kept her daughter and raised/trained her to:

Brat vom Haus Weinbrand SchH3 OB1 AD CGC TC  (my sister actually trialed her for the SchH3 due to me being 9 months pregnant at that time, but I did all of the training myself - she just took the leash for the trial :))

Then kept her daughter and raised/trained her to:

SG Drama vom Haus Weinbrand SchH1 AD Kkl1  (my sister trialed her for her SchH1 also, as I had just had surgery and was unable to do it but didnt want to miss the trial - again my sister just took the leash for the trial, I did all training and plan to do her SchH2/3 myself).  

I also trained/titled:

SG Yoga vom Haus Miller SchH1 Kkl2 CGC TDI TC - I bought her with a BH on her and put the SchH1, CGC/TDI, TC and SG rating on her.  

I also helped to raise our first puppy and participated in his training, although my mom actually put his titles on him.

Gildaf, you must either be as old as I am or train a LOT (or both). I think you have truly gone to the dogs and I mean that in the most complimentary way LOL.

LOL Blitzen! I don't know how old you are...I'm trying to stay young but heading to the big 40 this year! I do train a lot. It's what I do. And I love it. I like to try my dogs in a lot of things. Test their versatility. I don't get hung up on one sport or another. I just want to have fun with my dogs and do what I enjoy and what THEY enjoy. And in the process, get some titles. I also forgot to put on my list that I have a Certified HRD/SAR dog. Out of my own breeding, trained since 8 weeks...BHOT! 

You don't have to reveal your age Blitzen! Just don't say "oh, you are way older than me!" LOL!

I've owned 3 GSD
Bh through SchH3, WH, CGC on my first dog, now retired.
BH through SchH3, WH, CGC on my second dog then after a spay/mastectomy put an AWD1, IPO2, TR2 (V), RNX and RA (at 9 years of age) on her.
BH, WH and RN, CGC on my third dog (working toward other titles). She's also trial ready for novice agility and training for K9 Noseworks

Oh,  you are way older than me...I wish!!! I have kids way older than you. I never thought I'd still be at it after all these years, but once a dog nut, always a dog nuts I guess. I do OK, I'm just a lot slower than I used to be LOL.

I became "active" with my own GSDs around 2008
I'm not even close to where I had originally set my goals so as meager as they may be here it is

(tough act to follow Molly & Melinda... LOL)   2 - BH 2 - AD 6 - CGC 4- TDI   4 - IABCA Champions 1 - SG (SV)

I'm currently working 2 dogs for their Mondio Ring Brevet, 1 for agility and hope to have a new youngster for UKC show & performance ring soon.
