Loyal Heart Neescha

is a Licenced Personal  Protection Dog.

 She is Outstanding and Extremely Intelligent. Neescha was temperament tested by us at 7 weeks old. She was a 2.5 using the P.A.T. scoring system and scored excellent then on the P.A.W. working dog test. See Neescha Below.....

"I just love a dog that cocks her head - shows that she is willing to learn"

Neescha Below 7 mths...

Neescha stops to pay attention when it's time to work. She anticipates my commands and is eager and willing to please me. She is easy to train because of her genetics. When you have a dog like Neescha, it is a pleasure to go out and train and work with her. We have fun together!

We got to practice tracking with some major distraction today.  As Stark was laying the track a couple of kids on motorcycles showed up at the field.  They were driving all over the track Stark laid. I decided to go ahead and see how Max would work . He got out of the vehicle, and gave a quick look at the motorcycles, and then got right on the track and took off.   He  completely ignored the motorcycles buzzing around us within 15 feet.  On the way back after the find, Max finally paid attention to the motorcycles.  He just trotted towards them. He wasn't aggressive at all, but just very curious, again showing sound nerves.  The motorcycles were small ones, probably 50 CC's, but they were two stroke engines, so they were fairly loud.  I really was surprised that Max completely ignored them while tracking.  If I had written out how I would have wanted Max to react in this situation, I couldn't have written any better than how he performed. 
 Take Care,

Max's drive is just there, I don't have to swing the tug or anything to get his drive to build. I can literally walk up to him on the tie out with the tug behind me and pull it out and he will leap and bite it fully.My father's Day bite pillow finally came in today. Max loves it.  I tied him out and put it on the rope.  I enticed him quite a bit, because I wanted the first bite to be good. It is pretty thick and I knew it would take a pretty wide open mouth.  He caught it with a little slack in the rope. He gave it one of those hard head shakes.  When the line went tight he almost jerked my arm out of socket.  He couldn't have bitten any fuller.  The pillow was clear to the back of his mouth.  We did two more bites and all were full and hard.  I can't wait until I send him for the formal protection training.  Rick is going to love that bite. Of course, that is still a year or so away.  I have read a lot about bite development and seen all sorts of gadgets to help a dog develop a full hard grip.  I guess a person could use those tools, or they could just be lucky enough to have a dog like Max.  He really is impressive with his intensity in bite work. 

We wenttracking again last night.  There was a grassy area  that split into two levels with about a 4 1/2 foot  wall dividing the lower level from the upper.  My son walked from the lower level to the upper level at it's lowest point (just  slight incline before the wall started).  He then walked  within a foot of the edge.  I was telling him to back further from the edge, because I didn't want Max right on the edge. He couldn't hear me, so he walked to the edge and asked what I said. He then walked about 5 feet from the edge.  This was probably a 300 yard track that was 20 minutes old.   Max took a minute or two to lock on to the trail, because he got distracted by an old scent going to the playground.  A little handler error here.  I parked almost exactly where I had parked 5 or 6 hours earlier when we took the kids to a playground near by. Max tracked right to the playground.(I guess old trails won't be hard for him when we get to that point in training.)  I had to bring him back and start a little further down the track, so he knew which one I wanted him to follow.  He then locked in.   He was on a dead run and went right to where Stark came to the edge and bailed off.  My heart dropped to my stomach, as he half jumped and have fell, he was so focused on the scent.  Max didn't miss a beat.  He kept on the trail with a raised head looking up to the upper level, and followed the scent about another 15 yards, when he caught Starks's scent and ran right to him.  Max wasn't hurt at all, but is scared the dickens out of me.  I was impressed that he didn't even hesitate about continuing the track.  He  seemed slightly startled for about a second, but even during that second he was trying to re-acquire the trail.  His focus on the trail, once he gets the scent is incredible. I will have to be careful where I lay trails.   Max would follow a trail off a cliff, if that's where his nose told him the person went.  He clearly is focused on paying attention to his nose and not his other senses.  He really is a testament to good breeding.  He showed impeccable nerves today (not that I want to test them this way again).  I think most 6 month old pups would have been pretty rattled by going over an edge like that, and I doubt many would have stayed focused on the trail. He really impressed me, but I think I will stick to tracking in nice flat areas for a while just the same.
