New training building. Outdoor fenced play areas and landscaping will happen this spring, and we're still putting some finishing touches inside, but mostly complete. We'll be starting "doggie day care" once it's finished, as well as using it mainly for a box room for starting detection dogs.

This is a horrific incident that was 100% preventable. If you need your dog cared for find a kennel that has experience working with apprehension/bite trained dogs.

While I am a huge proponent of genetics over environment, I *always* say that environment shapes within the parameters defined by those genetics, i.e. environment can only influence as far as genetics allow.

This publication shows how much environment can influence the young dog.

While this publication states what most of us have known for years, a bolder dog is more apt to succeed in working endeavors, it gets a bit more in depth and is a good read that goes along with the SAR stress level post from the other day.

"The biggest differences in life span were found for little dogs. For a normal-weight male Yorkshire Terrier, the average life span is 16.2. However, if the dog is overweight, the average life span is 13.7 – a reduction of 2 and a half years. This was the largest difference found."

"The dog’s weight was assessed by a 5-point Body Condition Score from 2010, and on a 3-point scale before then. In the analysis, dogs were classified as either underweight, overweight, or a normal weight.

The study included data from over 50,000 dogs. Although only 12 popular breeds were considered, it seems likely that the results would also apply to other breeds."

Research on 12 popular dog breeds finds the average difference in life span between normal weight and overweight or obese dogs, and it makes for worrying reading.

"But the most impressive finding in both studies was the fact that there was no effect of air travel stress on the dogs' job performance. "They showed behavioral stress, their gut was completely turned upside down, their bloodwork showed significant effects, and it didn't matter. They still went to work and performed beautifully," Perry says. "Even though we see physiological impacts on these dogs, they're such amazing athletes that they overcome the physical and environmental stress and just do their job.""

When disaster strikes, you want the very best tools, functioning at their peak. In the case of catastrophic earthquakes, tornadoes, or even bombings in war zones, those tools are search and rescue dogs. But researchers have found that getting dogs to disaster sites can add to the animals' stress.

As rain fell on much of California, hundreds of officers, on two legs and four, arrived in Modesto to honor the man who many are calling a true American hero. Among them, the K9 partner of the late Newman Police Cpl. Ronil Singh.

As I'm sure most of you have noticed, this page has been quite inactive for a while. We are still around, and will remain so for a very long time, but we did take a small step back from the kennel for a bit to allow us to be better able to start-up our farm facebook.com/LibertyHeritageFarm/

This new year will see many new and exciting things with the kennel. We will be updating the page as we move along, and we hope everyone stays tuned for news and information on what we're doing and offering.

Another Indi z Liberatore litter in the UK. Should be a super litter. Congrats to OldskoolK9 dogtraining center BX in Belgium and Valleywolves in the UK for putting this litter together. Very happy with everything Jeff Depraeter has done with Indi. Awesome trainer if anyone's looking for a European based training kennel.

Puppies are expected around 15/5/18

The picture quality is horrible as this was taken during a snowstorm and at night, but the picture is sort of cool. This is Re*****on's first time working the flock at night. She moved and held them while we worked in the field. Making progress every day.

Large, strong, high drive, requires experienced handler. High prey for a ball, high drive with nice prey/defense mix in bite work. Will go civil, bites sleeve, suit, hidden sleeve. Will come up the line. Outgoing and confident. Environmentally sound, has been everywhere, bus depot, prison, airport, stores, down town areas with zero issues.

Liberatore K9 currently has some sporting breed dogs available as detection prospects. Labs, Pointers. These are outgoing, social, high drive dogs.

This is a large, strong dog. We brought him in for a large prison system to be used as a cell extraction and riot control dog, that didn't pan out as the head K9 trainer was scared of him. He has decent drive for a ball. Very nice on and off lead obedience. Very solid environmentally. Has done sleeve work, suit work (upper and lower), hidden sleeve and muzzle work. He is civil, he *will* bite a person without equipment, he *will* target a passive person without equipment, he *will* come up the leash. This dog is for an experienced handler, no exceptions.
