“A” Litter

"This is the third time he has run into a coyote. Always up at the north end of the farm. This one pissed him off enough that he ended it. I'm not big on the sharpness. But I do understand that it is a requirement for DK males. He suffered some pretty good cuts to his right ear, but luckily that is all that I found. Hopefully it will heal up shortly. I should have turned around when I was up there. I could tell by his body language, that he was scenting something ( and it wasn't birds ). It's breeding season for coyotes here. I wonder if that is why this one didn't run off? Ace is not a DK that goes out looking for trouble. I'm going to start carrying a gun when I go up to North end.

Just wanted you to know that your line is not afraid to take on a predator. But as the same time, he is a very affectionate loving DK and has never shown aggression to another dog.

I know you appreciate info on behavior. Just keeping you up to date. One more note, Ace has been very easy to train. Not too stubborn and likes the actual training. He is quiet in the crate during training days and responds well to different task we give him. We will be training for the VGP this fall."
