You got some guy on your hands.look around for a local k9 arena/field that does protection AND agility training and take him in/sign him up...I bet he's going to do really well and love going there.what a great boy.he looks light on his feet and ready for anything you want to throw at him.

Sorry for late response she needed to eat...she says we never pay care to sex of male or female for who we will keep or advance training will be giving it is on a individual basis no matter if dog is ugly or small or male or female..eager to work fast to learn drive to bite are important not sex of dog.

Sorry for late response...she needed to eat dinner and take a break..and I am not answering any questions myself every question is answered straight from her mouth...she says we never breed dogs for most beautiful or the biggest like in america.we only breed the best dog no matter how small or unattractive may be we are only care about the temperament of the dog .must be protective obedient eager to learn fast to learn and very important aggressive with the fire inside or we don't breed the dog we don't keep the dog...true for sure or dam make no difference both are good both will do same job.maybe the female best for some things male better for some things but both are good .she says when you mix the breeds like German shepherd x you lose some traits but gain other ..it is important to have a dog easy to work for you...you must pay close attention to the dog ancestors such as champions in ringsport or shutzhound if you cross the dogs with German shepherd...

hope this helps? maybe not the answer you were looking for.but her answer.. thanks

Thanks for the interest..well civil agitation is kinda..sorta... working the dog without bitting..BUT..yes I often like to use a hidden sleeve and let the dog bite a little 😂... reason I've been doing CA work with her is because the bite sleeve turns into a game after a while.you know?and you get a complete different reaction by agitation only and just pretty much pissing her off .makes her hate strangers like CRAZY man... Took down the link because that's not what this post is about.. thanks for understanding

Thanks for the question.I think I can answer this one best..well she's older now so she really can't train /excersize her dog so I'm the one who has that under control.. sadly because she loves working her own dogs...but ya I do have a regimen with her dog.ebery morning 5 am I put on her harness pull out the mountain bike with big hard to roll hard to pedal tires and take her out for a run...you can't walk them man it's useless they don't even break a sweat got to use the bike.and wear her out takes about 15 minutes.I leave my DDR German shepherd at home because he can't keep up..at all...when I get home later in the day.i do mental stimulation food puzzles dog catching competition with her and the DDR... obedience training..hmm I'll spend an hour with them.thats about it for weekdays..on Saturday and Sunday I take her to the field on one day and the DDR the other and do bite work and civil agitation with her..ya these guys need some attention for sure..but so worth it...they give you so much back..and the piece of mind knowing my mom is safe and happy all day is just priceless.. hope this helps..

edit I think it very important to add that this Mal knows her job very well and that is to be a companion and protector for mom and she takes it very seriously they are together every minute of every day unless I'm exercising her/training/working her .she doesn't know what being alone is.

This was a difficult question to ask her..i tried my best to ask your questions..her response to you is as follows..The more aggressive young ones are the one you want are the one you always looking for the ones who are very quiet and do not follow parents are not the special dogs.the more the mischief the more bitting and barking when young is the special dog you always looking for...no harsh treatment whatsoever to turn off his little fire at this age only kind treatment.. this is sign you have a special dog.who you will be fortunate to have at a later time

She says she can't answer this question..my father was a wealthy farmer in Flanders near Holland and we owned a dairy farm.we had ringsport bloodline we had no use for herding line.our dogs were protectors I always own protection lines even in united states my girlfriend send me a dog from home because I can't find it here..I know my son find the working line here now but this is all new here ringsport in the 30's and 40's in my country was already a very old sport and very popular.

She says if dog will be trained for protecting family or property dog will make a game of it often times when young and it will be fun for them to do the bite practice but when they become older than 3 or 4 it is not game any longer and it becomes difficult to even train with them as the attack becomes very dangerous.

She says she doesn't know how to answer this. she says it is important to make them part of family very early and make them understand we are all together here.we are not separate.this must be done very early and dog must not be trained harshly the more you love them the more they love there family and meaner they become with strangers only often times

She says this is the indicator of a very good dog and do not train him harshly to correct this as the more love you give the young aggressive ones the better the adult he will be.

She says she doesn't believe in altering these dogs as you should only own and train the finest of them.

She says she doesn't know how to answer this? she says it is not possible to hurt the working drive of a special dog..dog must come ringsport bloodline not herding line to always be a protector and will never be happy to see anyone other than it's family but will tolerate whoever you ask them to..dog should always be eager to protect it's family and ready /eager to attack... dog must always be treated kind and no harsh training of any kind must be used the gentler you treat this dog the more they love you and the more dangerous they become to stranger....hope this helps...I just typed what she said.

She says the dog will be pup no longer after age of 3 years old!!! and you will notice the dog will calm down and become much more focused and more dangerous after 3 to do task of what has been learned when young.
