Diary of competitions, training, etc

Havok, also affectionately known as the "Bionic Dog", was originally taken as a stud fee pup, and was then sold to his owners decoy. When he was 5 months old he survived an attack by a pack of adult dogs, resulting in some serious damage to his entire body. Despite this, Havok is still very social with other dogs, including friendly males. I purchased Havok back in Nov of 2006 (2.5 yrs old), and began retraining him for French Ring. Although Havok is IMO the best competition dog I have at the moment, with his combination of grip, drive, character, entry, biddability and altheletic ability, due to the timing and my own schedule he's not currently the focus in training. He'll still train, and we'll go as high as we can, but since he won't be my primary focus, chances are good it will take awhile. Havok's OFA x-rays came back Fair for hips, it is my opinion this is because of the damage done to one hip during the attack (OFA indicated it was that hip that caused the rating).

Havok is a solid/strong male, with high drives, a full very hard grip, social/stable personality, and excellent jumper. Strong barking/guarding, he has a civil streak and gets stronger with pressure. When not working he has a calm demeanor with a good on/off switch. He is very clear in the head when working. Medium sized, 25 inches and 65-68 lbs.

Havok is now living in Oregon on a co-own, where he will continue to play a part in future Dantero generations. The damage done to his body as a pup has started to catch up with him and I made the decision to retire him from Ring instead of asking him to do the FRII and FRIII level jumps. Instead he will now be training in Schutzhund, and will hopefully be hitting the trial field in 2010.

Havok is the sire of the following litter(s):
R du Dantero
U du Dantero
V du Dantero
