My New imported dog from Holland

My female malinois just didn't work out on the bite like I wanted... so my breeder had a 4 yr old male Dutch Shepherd imported for me. Dog came with his own passport..kinda crazy.. but he is sick on the bite work...learning Dutch commands was crazy for first few weeks

Good looking dog

Like the brindle pattern...good looking dog....what's his name....

Cas

Passport name

Cas Van Achten

He's trained to do article searches.. pretty cool to watch I flung a spent 40 cal casing in my yard without him seeing it.. told him the command to search and with in 3 min he brought the casings back to me.

That is a great looking dog. I take it police work?

Walter

Only training he needs for police work is drug detection... I'm not a police officer I just wanted a bad dog to keep around the house

good looking dog!

I hope for your neighbors sake you can keep him on your property!

^^^^^
X100

Inside dog..not a loose cannon

Educate me; what's with the rod thing that I see in the pics?

Bamboo stick... when you do bite work you want a dog that is not scared of anything.. we also train with blank guns..

Beautiful pup!

Thanks guys!

Should have been Cas Van Asschewin.

That is a beautiful dog.

Lol right

He has one titanium tooth.. one of his k9 teeth broke and it looks just like this..
1800 a tooth to fix... glad he had it when I bought him

Got the grill started....now you can finish it....bling, bling.....

Can't afford all that lol...

Great looking dog, keeping his training fresh, will keep you busy as well.

That it will .. we train twice a week

Plus small home training sessions

daniel: that's a good looking Dutchie!

Didn't know we had anyone else on the forum into the working dogs. I just retired from a career in training K9 and Instructing K9 Officers. Worked with quite a few Dutchies, and they are for sure serious critters! They make most Mals look laid back
Hows his "on/Off" switch?...They are usually 'on'.... Hows his 'out'? ....they like the bite so much. Anyway..good to see such a nice looking dog and someone who understands him!

A quick pic of my own dog, he's pretty much a cream puff, certified in Narcotics only.....


Call name "Rommel" ( what else would you call a dog that looks like this?)

His out is amazing. No major issues whoever trained him over there did a damn good job. He is great on his commands and his drive for his Kong is crazy!! He weighs 7 8lbs and hits the decoy pretty damn hard!! I will try to get some videos of his bite work .. he is social when I'm around but he does not like other dogs at all!!!

Very nice looking Rommel!

I went all out for him got the ray allen insert

Nicer looking dog. I have a cousin who is a deputy down around Beeville and his K9 partner is the same breed.

I used to do Shutzhund work and have a great respect for imported bloodlines. There is no comparison when it comes to working dogs.

You can tell quick how watered down dogs are in America...

WOW! You sure did! But you won't be sorry, he is obviously a high speed dog and Ray Allen makes great stuff. He looks great. Every Dutch Shepherd Ive been around wouldn't hold still long enough for a pic!

He looks great. Congrats on such a fine animal, sir.

Thanks guys!!

Fine looking dog!

Daylight and dark difference. Intelligence, bid-ability, and tenacity.

Cas is all about work... he is ready for anything..the blank gun is cool to watch the decoy shoot at him and I haven't seen him fear anything. When they do stick work from my breeder they never take it easy on him.

Great looking dog sir. Very impressive

Very impressive! I love dutchies. I recently had to get rid of my boerboel, to much drive and his "off" switch was not as good as it should have been. But since my living conditions changed, it was not the right environment for that big of a dog. Talk about a bite, most decoys would only take one bite from him. He is happily living on a large ranch in sequin now with lots of room to roam. I am thinking about a dutchy for my next protection dog.

I talked to an old trainer around Ft. Worth last year, he told me the origins of the Dutch Shepard. It would really surprise most people what the bred to start the breed. I really like them for there tenacity.

If you don't mind sharing, what does a dog like that cost? Training?

8k.. I got a deal through my friend who is the breeder for 6k

He had the dog for a year and is a solid level headed dog... but has a amazing off and on switch.. he had 4 other people try to buy him but he wouldn't sell him and he owed me favour so I cashed in

Awesome dog!! Have heard a lot about that breed recently. Would love to have one myself but my Beagle would probably become his lunch.

Jcb lol

You got a good deal on that dog! We were paying as much as $7.5 K for raw dogs from Europe.REALLY nice that he has a good on/off switch and better yet, a good 'out' as thats a recurrent problem with dogs not trained/raised right.
I envy you being young enough to run a high speed dog!

Thanks!! I know this is will never start from a puppy again!

I love starting them from a puppy,but you apparently got someone who does things right....and that makes it soooooo much easier down the line!

I hate the puppy stage

Mooi verhaal gefeliciteerd met je hond! (Nice story and congrats with your dog). Af, zit, blijf, vast?

Granted....a high speed puppy can make you CRAZY!

it was funny watching a Texan try to learn those words... dog looked at me like i was crazy a few times

One of our guys got a Mal one time that just would NOT respond to his Dutch commands...finally returned him to the vendor for a replacement, or a tune-up...

Vendor says " I'm sorry...I forgot, that dog is trained in Spanish!"


Sure enough, he responded right away!

My Dad trained and handled dogs for NOLA PD and Angola for years. Bloodhounds and guard/police shepherds. The last shepherd he had was a former Czechoslovakian (sp?) Police dog. You shoulda' heard that old Coonarse using Czech commands....hilarious. I think even the dog laughed a few times.

Lol.. I know I sound crazy at times

Good for you!

I had a German shepherd when I was on patrol from Germany all commands in German. Took a while to get use to it and folks would look at me funny talking to that dog.
