After adopting Hero at seven months, we first saw his incredible drive when our older son threw a rock across Lake Pend Oreille. When Hero lept into the water to retrieve, as I was holding the leash, he dragged me right along with him. Ever after, realizing his water exhuberance, we delight to play fetch at the lake, enjoying as he catapaults several feet out and into the water with a big splash, sinking deep but undeterred as he swims to his prize. Hero runs loose at our country property, but when I call, he runs full speed, feet outstreched, and leaping onto our porch, he greets me. He is a Rin Tin Tin of a dog, totally devoted, full of play, and extremely intelligent.
We are pleased to announce that Hero has achieved his Schutzhund I, June 2009. "Pronounced for Courage" in the Protection phase. Handler owned and trained (H.O.T.).
