Yes, I agree with you :) I like Ass. Another person who has a super nice dog, both beautiful in conformation and very nice in work with correct temperament is James Trucks in TN. He owns Vico von der Flugschneise. Vico is a Deutscher VDH CH and also USRC national sieger 05 and several other regional sieger titles. He is HD/ED frei, schH III BH AD ztp. We bred to him when Guenter still owned him in Germany. Awesome dog and am very happy with the pups. I don't have a current email address or contact info for James and don't know if he is still studding him out. Another option is you could always tell your friend he/she could import a dog/pup from Germany. Turnleburg and vom schloss rastede kennels have been producing really nice working dogs in the past yrs. Go check them out. If your friend doesn't want to import, maybe check out getting a pup out of Unkas. He was newly imported by vom aztlan in california. Unkas was the ADRK DM winner in '04 and had the best bitework performance at the IFR in Florida. Super nice dog. His pics don't do him justice. He looks much better in person.
