I love incorporating unstable surfaces into our regular training as it offers a range of benefits, including increased activation of deep stabilizers, improved proprioception, enhanced balance, coordination, and agility, as well as adding variety and challenge to core workouts.
Tracking for me is the most complicated phase in IGP. So many variables. So many challenges.
If something goes wrong during obedience training, I can repeat my training on the same day and make it better. If something is not to my liking in tracking, I have to wait until tomorrow to troubleshoot it.
With time, every handler develops its style. Mine is greatly influenced by Dusan Majtas, who I had the privilege of seeing multiple times in action.
No stress, concentrated, intense and free - this is what I learned and precisely follow.
Once, when my track wasn’t on my expectations, Dusan said “Don’t worry, tomorrow is another day” and it was, and it always is.
Let’s go tracking!❤️
As simple as it sounds, a pre-routine ID check can tell one a lot about the dog's temperament.
I can't help but laugh when asked "Do German Shepherds shed a lot"? You tell me 😜

This breeding has the best dam lines you could want to add to your breeding/training program with strong sire lines that are constantly successful across the board.
COBRA is sired by Hercules Vom Grossen Ex who has been stamping all of his puppies with great orthopedics and temperament for the work. Not only does Cobra have a great work ethic, his temperament and personality are extraordinary. Cobra is safe with people and dogs and works with a clear head.
YARA is a stunning dark sable female with a big blocky head, thick body, and good conformation. She has insane food and toy drives, deep bark, and never-ending energy. She is DM Clear (by parentage), and has hips and elbows evaluated by SV with “a” normal rating.
Yara comes from a very strong and impressive bloodline, and we expect her to pass these traits on. Her sire, Pepper von Kap Karthago does not need an introduction. Pepper is a highly consistent producer, strong, masculine, medium size male with good pigment, excellent conformation, and health. Her mother, Dena Mae's Haus Ukres, is out of Bolle Ja Na Ka, one of the most successful GSD dogs of the last years.
We are expecting strong confident dogs with exceptional temperament, large expressive heads, and ability to go anywhere and do anything. NO LONG coats.

Today Azelle and Cobra participated in the Herding Instinct Test.
Azelle absolutely killed it. Such a natural behaviour around the sheep and superbe energy. Somehow she knew what to do 🤷♀️
Cobra was a little messy and excited in the beginning, but figured it all out in no time.
Very proud of both of them!

Azelle is unbelievable good mommy! Little monsters are 6 weeks old today, weighting between 12-13lbs each, eat 3 times per day, and yet - she is still happily nursing them at any occasion.

Let’s the fun begin!
E - litter 4 weeks old
Next four weeks, the puppies will be raised in the house and will learn lots of useful skills.
One of the things I do is to let my other dogs participate in the upbringing process. Xtreame is the best to explain manners and rules. She is on it already 🙂
