| Blackthorn's Eagle | Added On: May 16th, 2009 | | Posted By: Allen | | "He is bright, tenacious, joyful, and PUSHY! You gave us an excellent heads up, and this little guy has not disappointed. It's his way or the highway right down the line. He is, at this point, the most people-oriented pup I've ever owned, kudos to you. In sum, he's been a treat. If we are responsible and intelligent in our handling, we think that he might develop into an exceptional dog. We are very optimistic. I'll continue to throw descriptive posts such as this your way from time to time. If we ever encounter a problem that stumps us, we'll try to avail ourselves of your knowledge. Right now, everything is jake! |
| Hex v Eichenluft | Added On: May 16th, 2009 | | Posted By: Yvette | | "Hi Molly, I know I have been remiss in staying in touch with you, but just wanted you to know that Hex is alive and kicking. She is an awesome dog! I really love her. And she is gorgeous. I get tons of compliments on her coloring. She has really darkened up and will look just like Eagle, if not darker. She is just so beautiful, with such a great personality. And she has food drive galore. I haven't been doing hardly any training with her and she picks stuff up so quickly. |

Your dedication to the German Shepherd Dog is exemplary and the results of your breeding program are wonderful. I have been plesantly suprised at the structure and working ability that your program has achieved when I have judged dogs with your kennel name on them" Mike Hamilton USA Judge #22 " |

| Iago v Eichenluft Schh3 | Added On: May 16th, 2009 | | Posted By: John | | "Iago vom Eichenluft SchIII does have a nice ring to it.. thank you for giving me such a good learning tool and absolute best friend Iago. |
| J-Isen v Eichenluft | Added On: May 16th, 2009 | | Posted By: Darcy | | "Tracking is coming along. I will try a boettcher (sp?) harness for that as the little booger just wants to go. He knows we are tracking and not doing OB the second I take him out of the truck. Today he finished “the track” and then tracked me back to the truck. We are doing all three days with Ivan at the end of the month so I am really praying for all teething stuff to be done. He is funny. I taught him ‘gib laut” for his ball in order to teach him quiet and all that in order to teach him not to cry when he dropped his ball off the bed on purpose or rolled it under the bed on purpose. I should have this on film as it is so comical. Sadly, it is how my puppy amuses himself while I am on the computer(the bed is behind me). Molly, I really do love my little boy and he is as gorgeous as I keep saying. He is not in the general public eye that much, mostly dog people, but I always hear “that is a good looking dog.” And he is a little love even if he does need to learn the art of a nice dog kiss yet and not slamming his teeth into my face. |
| Blackthorn's Epic | Added On: May 16th, 2009 | | Posted By: Diane | | "Hi Molly, We've just returned home from Tufts where Epic had her hips and elbows x-rayed. As Kandi suggested, we asked for a digital copy so we could forward it to you. As luck would have it we were seeing an orthopedic specialist for Cody, our rescue, and had him look at the film in addition to the regular analyst in the radiology lab. Both said they looked good. So, here's hoping that you agree. We'll let you know when we get "the white envelope" that we've heard about. Incidentally, a number of people asked us why we were getting these done? We replied that the results, while of interest to us, were not something of huge concern to us as Epic is our dog and will always be our dog, and we will take care of her no matter what they say about her hips. We said that we were doing this at our breeder's request because our breeder keeps records of the hips that are produced so as to monitor the quality of the breedings. Each person exclaimed, "Wow, THAT is a very conscientious breeder!" We just smiled because we already knew that. |

She is pretty wise ... of course the last advice I followed from her was "Come on Kate ... follow me" and it was 2am in the middle of no where and I was running after her in my slippers holding my flashlight chasing a porcipine. What was I thinking!!!! Ha Ha - It turned out well though. No quills in our bodies and she did get a picture! |
| | Added On: May 16th, 2009 | | Posted By: Charles and Amanda Raynor | | "This puppy is amazing. She plays with a soccer ball that we have. When we roll it to her she runs after it and jumps on it. The momentum from her running makes her flip right over the top of the ball. She's hilarious. We are really enjoying Kasi. It took her until last night to sleep all night. It appears that we are going to have a lot of fun with Kasi. She is a special part of the family. Thanks again." |
| | Added On: May 16th, 2009 | | Posted By: L. Hough re: Kougar v Eichenluft | | "Kougar has been mine from 8 weeks old, he lives in the house and is my constant companion. Although I have made many mistakes in training, he has been able to rise above them, and through living with him and training, I understand the incredible personality and strengths he possesses. Tenacious, resilient, happy, absolutely devoted, protective of home and property, aloof with strangers, yet gentle with children and uncommonly handsome for a dog of his color, I am very proud of him, and will admit that any mistakes he makes are not his, but are mine, and his triumphs a tribute to the genetic strength and character that he mirrors from his great sire and grandsires" |
| | Added On: May 16th, 2009 | | Posted By: Shannon - Banshee (Eagle X Cora) | | "yeah, i'm really happy with her progress. i can definitely see how this sport becomes so addictive. i just spend the entire three hour drive home going over what we worked on, the things joe said, the way banshee responded to different things he did, and how it's all going to fit in to the bigger picture later on. what's cool is that she's this beast on the training field, but when we get home she's just banshee again, running around with her jolly ball, prancing and wagging. and getting in my lap on the couch, and wanting her tummy rubbed. i have to say again, Molly, that you couldn't have picked a more perfect puppy for me than Banshee. Shannon " |
| Jago v Eichenluft Schh3 | Added On: May 16th, 2009 | | Posted By: Glenn | | "Protection - I love this dog! He is so much fun to work with even though he is a knucklehead. Blind search was fast. Bark and hold, as always, was intense, focused and powerful. Very impressive. Strikes were very fast, grips were full, calm and very hard. He is a very serious dog. A little more control and fine tuning and I believe he will consistently V protection. Overall I am very pleased with Jago. He is only 3 yrs old and will continue to improve with consistent training and a little more maturity. I will probably show again in the summer. I will keep you posted. |
| Grizzly v Eichenluft | Added On: May 16th, 2009 | | Posted By: Ken | | "went to range today to shoot some rifles,took my boy GRIZZ along not knowing what to expect,had 2 GSD that were gunshy,hard to get them over it. by the time i got to shoot he was right behind the firing line ,playing and just acting up never showing any signs of being scared of the noise, went walking, should say running he never walks, Molly's energy dogs,out to get targets. this went on for a few hours never no fear of gunfire.really made my day for i am a gun collectorand like to shoot.another big plus for Eichenluft dogs.Thank you Molly for the breeding. |
| Dugan v Eichenluft | Added On: May 16th, 2009 | | Posted By: Brandi | | "Hold on to your seat Molly....ready for this... Joe put him on the Intermediate sleeve!!! Yes, you read correct. Joe's arm in the sleeve and everything!!!! All the other people there said, "that just shows his NATURAL ability". I now believe that Dugan will fill Ando's "shoes" in the work. I feel that he can be my next personal protection dog AND my very first SchH dog. Joe had to force himself to stop working Dugan and give the other dogs a chance. He says that Dugan is his Father's son and shows the same aggression as Eagle. You could just see the gleam in Joe's eyes and face while working Dugan. He couldn't say enough great things about Dugan's ability and spoke very highly of Eagle and you. He said straight out in front of everyone, that by far, Eagle is the best natural tracker he's ever seen. He went on to say that when Eagle tracks, if he ran into a "stump", he'd keep his nose down and barely sway his head/nose to pick up the track again and off he'd go without problems. He said like the other dogs, they would sway way off the track to figure out the problem. Thought you'd like to hear that. |
