The 1st Schutzhund 1 Dog to achieve the title, locally in Trinidad and Tobago. Akira vom Försterhaus got the High in Obedience and Protection and although I made most of the mistakes as a handler, she managed to forgive my inexperience and we made a great team. Judge Mike West from the German Shepherd Dog Clubs of America commended us on our excellent free-heeling, retrieves over the hurdle and A-Frame and sit and down in motion. Akira's energy and drive caused her to bump me a bit on the recall and a slow send away costed us some points.
In protection she missed the blind and had some control issues, but still scored 90 points- with a nice hold in the blind, escape attack and long attack!We look forward to our next trial locally when we can look towards her Schutzhund 2 Title.
We will soon be featured on the cover of K9 Sport Club Magazine for this historic achievement.

And the Protection- (Sorry - the video was a bit dark)
Congratulations to you and your girl on your continuous success!
