It was a serious compliment to have Bernhard Flinks ask me to do Protection with his retired Police Dog Fels von der Schiffslache ! So while I was in Heide, Germany, I had a chance to do it and I put this little video together. Fels is also part of our Instructional DVD for K9 Handlers and it was great to see a retired Police K9 that has not been trained in just over 1 year, demonstrate some of the actual training Bernhard included in our DVD. As they say the proof is in the pudding and Fels has numerous street arrests to his credit and the training and level of Instruction, has stood up to the real life street situations that he encountered.
Besides his street career, Fels did Schutzhund sport and also has a very interesting geneology. A grandson of Yoschy von der Doellenwiese with linebreeding on Fado von Karthargo. I thank Bernhard for the opportunity to work Fels and include him in my projects. Fels embodies the total German Shepherd Dog, able to be a family protector, aid to Law Enforcement as well as Sport companion.
