Pedigrees of Proven Courageous Dogs - Page 1

Since they are so hard to find and we had two threads about would GDS protect w/o training, how about posting pedigrees of dogs (trained or not) that you know for certain HAVE protected when reality (NOT on the SchH field)  tested them.

I can't put mine that I have as never have they been tested but I can put two of their sires:

Here are the peds of two dogs I know for a fact have shown courage in real life scenarios:

Share those dog's story, hunger!

The only dog I met who was actually in a real life situation was some washed out coyote looking BYB shepherd.  The owner showed us multiple stab scars he and he dog sustained when he was attacked in his home.  The dog attacked the aggressor and saved his owner's life.  The dog had come to club because the owner was hoping he could put more formal training on the dog.  I can find the pedigree if anyone want their own BYB hero .

They are hard dogs and also with balanced temperament and that all important "off" switch.

Griff's owner posted about him here is her post and yes, post pedigrees no matter what the dog look like-hero dogs are hero dogs:

A friend e-mailed and told me this thread was on-going and my wonderful K-9 Patrner, Onnegardens Griff(a Tom son) was mentioned.  Griff was Sch3, FH2 and KKL2 for Life.   He was my Patrol/Cadaver K-9 until we both retired.  I have not mentioned this publicly , as it saddens me greatly, that I lost my Griff recently--Griff was almost 12 years old.  Griff left us with a litter he sired that was whelped on March 18th out of a Sch3 female owned by a very good friend of ours, as well as a litter of ours whelped May 13th, out of my husband's Sch3, KKL1 for life female, Goldi vom Vogelsberger Sudhang--(Griff's last litter was the "Q" litter Wilmothhaus).  Of Goldi's litter, a female and a male are going to 2 VERY experienced K-9 Handlers  to, hopefully, become street K-9's like Griff someday and carry on his legacy.  I am here today because this dog saved my life "on the street", not once, but twice. He was responsible for many commendations for us as a team and his demos to young school children brought much joy.  He was respected (and feared) on the street and had over 60 SWAT raids.  He was the 2006 Hero Dog of the Year by Bil-Jac Foods for an incident where he saved me and sent a career criminal back to prison for 28 years ("bad guy" went to the hospital 1st! LOL).  Griff was my partner, my friend and my companion.  I never had to worry about my "6" as I knew he would always be there.  I could hit my belt remote from wherever I was and I knew he would bail out of the car and find me AND make sure I went home safe. His tracking was like driving a Rolls(whether it was 3 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon--he found what he sought!!) and his courage and drives were superb. A lesser dog would have NEVER made it through the fight that Griff encountered from the career felon in the incident which made him the 2006 Hero Dog.  There was never any quit to Griff.

Story here but don't think it really tells how long and bloody it really was:

On January 30, 2006, a 911 call was dispatched that a male suspect was threatening to burn down his girlfriend’s house with her and her children in it.  Additional information was dispatched that the suspect had a knife and was ‘out of control’.  When the K-9 and Deputy arrived at the residence the first time, the suspect fled on foot into a heavy freezing rain.  A next door neighbor noticed that the door to her Jeep SUV was open, so K-9, his Handler and another Deputy ran a patrol Route in an attempt to locate the suspect, but the freezing rain increased to almost torrential and the sweep was halted with both Handler and other Deputy soaked to the bone (K-9, of course, wanted to continue.  The Deputies and K-9 stayed mobile in the area to await the return of the Suspect while another Sheriff’s Unit returned to base office to type a warrant for the Suspect.  The wait was not long, as the second 911 call came in shortly thereafter stating the suspect had returned, was breaking furniture and was involved in a verbal altercation with the victim, his girlfriend.  Deputies and K-9 arrived within one minute.  The Deputies and K-9 approached the porch and peered through a window in the front door.  The victim was not seen, but the Suspect was observed peering around a partial wall, then backed out of sight.

When the Deputies and K-9 entered the house, they moved through a living room into a combination dining room/kitchen where they encountered the suspect in a corner at the end of a 6’ table.  K-9 and Handler took a guard position about 8’ from the Suspect as other Deputy ordered the Suspect to go to his knees, cross his ankles and lock fingers behind his head.  To the orders the Suspect complied, but kept staring at K-9 and calling him a piece of (expletive)!  As the one Deputy got one handcuff on the Suspect, the Suspect became agitated and rose up, pushing Deputy away like a fly and shouted “I am going to KILL that dog!”  The Suspect then lunged at Handler and K-9.  K-9 countered the Suspect’s attack with an automatic response without a command by launching for a bite.  The crazed, agitated Suspect grabbed K-9 on each side of his neck, mid flight, and used his momentum to slam him into the wooden table.  K-9 launched again at the Suspect who again grabbed the side of K-9’s neck/face, but this time K-9’s momentum drove the Suspect backwards into the living room with the Suspect falling backwards with dog on top of him (breaking furniture as they fought).  K-9 engaged the Suspect and bit him in the face, head and arm.  The suspect, who felt NO pain, pulled dog away from his face and tried to choke K-9 with his arms and then cut dog’s air supply off with his hand all the while shouting “I am going to KILL this dog!”  K-9 growled and continued to fight the fight of his life.  A third Deputy arrived and tazed the Suspect 2 times while the Suspect was engaged in the fight with the K-9.  As the Suspect’s hold and desire to fight lessened, K-9 was pulled off of the suspect and put into a guard position about 4 feet away from the Suspect.  The Suspect was handcuffed and as a fourth Deputy moved in to remove broken furniture that was tangled in the Suspect’s leg, Suspect side kicked this Deputy, injuring his leg.  K-9 threatened re-engagement and the Suspect finally submitted, but not before spitting a mouthful of blood at K-9 and his Deputy Handler and threatened that “when all of this is over I am coming to kill both you and your dog!”

This K-9 NEVER gave up the position of putting himself between the ‘bad guy’ and his Handler.  K-9 was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice before allowing this crazed felon to injure his handler or any of the other Deputies.  He NEVER quit fighting until the Suspect was subdued even while the Suspect was trying to choke him and remove his air supply.  K-9 Griff is a dedicated public servant and and True Hero.

What the Deputies and K-9 Griff did not know when responding to this incident was that Suspect had committed and armed robbery (at gunpoint) of a Subway 3 hours before; had committed an armed robbery (at gunpoint) of a gas station 2 weeks before; and had been arrested for aggravated trafficking in marijuana and felony domestic violence 6 weeks before and was out on bond.  He had done 13 years at Lucasville Prison for armed robbery and had been out of prison only 2 years.  He had nothing to lose!

K-9 Griff fought the fight of his life so his handler and the other law enforcement personnel could go home safe and a violent felon with nothing to lose went to jail.

Orla bites like an alligator and is nothing but a bucket of real.  She will bark and hold anyone that comes in my house unless she is firmly told not to or is crated.  She has never had a reason to bite, but I fully trust that she would with a full and firm grip.

I hear she gets it from her Momma.
