Mountain Forest Working Dogs

I'm Ron Cook, the owner and alpha dog at Mountain Forest Working Dogs. We are train for service animals, agility, protection, bikejoring, and dryland mushing.
(1)

Mountain Forest Working Dogs consists of 1 Dutch Shepherd, 1 Siberian Husky/GSD, 1 Belgian Tervuren Sheepdog and 3 human members. We also enjoy camping, backpacking and jogging. Our canines will be chosen from working kennels for their working ability, temperaments, health and conformation. We only breed to improve our own kennels and add to our teams. However, after choosing our pick of the litte

r to remain in our kennel the remaining puppies will be available for rehoming to approved homes only. When we have puppies available, we give priority consideration to known working kennels before placing our puppies in pet homes. We never knowingly place our puppies with puppy mills, brokers or backyard breeders.

Mia had a vet visit yesterday. She weighed in at 30.6 # @ 10.5 months old. The vet said she should be twice this at her age. What are your thoughts?

Female Malinois should be 40 - 60 lbs when fully grown.

I went to visit my kids for a couple days and Mia made a new friend. I normally don't let my dogs interact with other dogs on this level but Carmen is my daughter's service dog "in training" so they will be interacting with each other on a regular basis.

I closed on 3.292 acres today. It may not be much, but it's all mine. Paid cash. Now to start planning the house and kennel area I want to build on it.

Introducing Amira de van Bergen. She is a very energetic bitch with medium drives who will hopefully do well in our program.

Well, I don't know what's going, if it's FB or Verizon. Both have done multiple "updates" recently and now I can't post pics from my phone to FB (from my trainer profile dedicated to my dogs) because the "media type is not supported" by FB but I can post them from my personal profile. Is anyone else having this issue?

I'm headed north and brought Strijder and Amira with me on their first road trip. We had been on the road for a few hours and I was starting to feel tired and needed gas so I got off the Interstate at a Love's truck stop. After checking the dog run there to make sure previous pet owners had done their due diligence I decided to let Strijder stretch his legs in the enclosure which is something I've never done before. While there a woman came up with a newly purchased 8 week GSD which she claimed was a mix of 5 different GSD breeds. I explained to her the fancy names don't really mean anything, dna will still just show GSD, although possibly indicating different geographical points of origin. Then, a trucker came over with his 15 month old GSD wanting to let him play with Strijder in the dog run. They were about the same size but still, ummm, no. I put Strijder back in my vehicle and talked with the trucker while his GSD, Hank, used the dog run for a few minutes. Hank was a well built, properly proportion, good looking GSD but had apparently been rejected for K9 training because he was already neutered. Yes, before he was even 15 months old. When will people actually start doing some research and learn some facts?

Good puppy prospects for IPO do not just “happen”; they must be carefully bred for by conscientious breeders. So how do you find the right breeder?

Building a relationship with Strijder

Testing Strijder in a public setting.

Strijder joined us about 4 weeks ago. He came from an Elder woman who simply could not handle him. He was very nippy/mouthy and had absolutely no real training at that time. Unfortunately, I have not worked with him as much as I would have liked to but I have been building a relationship with him. Since I had him out with me today I decided to evaluate him in a public setting. This is his first time heeling in a public location since he joined us. He did well mostly ignoring people but did show signs of reaction to other dogs we'll definitely need to work on. I don't know why my camera is videoing in reverse. He was actually on my left side.

Luna is a rescued 2 year old Pit Bull x. She is a well behaved companion house dog for an elderly couple but has never had any training so I started basic obedience with her about 2 weeks ago. This was her 1st time training in a public setting. She was a little nervous but did quite well.
