Esko vom Tal der Schatten

Esko has been a joy to raise. He comes from excellent and well known german bloodlines. This dog has a very stable temperament, yet is protective of his home. He is a large, very beautiful and loving dog. He is currently being raised indoors with his family which includes a poodle, boston terrier and my 9 year old granddaughter. Esko makes daily trips to school and loves his daily walks. He has good drives and is very intelligent, "sometimes too smart for his own good". He has never met a stranger! We look forward to many more memories with Esko which include showing him in confomation...

March 2007, Esko begins Narcotics Training

Esko is now almost 11 months old and will now begin a new journey in training as a narcotics k9/dual purpose drug dog. We are very proud of Esko and all his accomplishments. He comes from excellent breeding and is truly an amazing, smart dog and there is no doubt that he will excel in this new endeavor. We would like to thank "US Tactical K9 Law Enforcement Academy" and Trainer Malinda Julien and staff for all their help in the coming months. We could not do this without you. Come back and watch Esko's progress, pictures coming soon....

May 2007, Esko taking a break from training.

Currently Esko is back home resting both physically and mentally from his narcotics training. We were proud to learn that he is coming along great and is becoming a very methodical tracker. He has a great nose and takes his time before he alerts. After a short rest and relaxation, Esko and his handler will return to training for their K9 Certification which will be followed by his BH title.

August 2007, Esko and handler return for certification.

Well the time has come for Esko to return to his narcotics training. He and his handler will go for their Level One K9 certification and then Esko will continue training for his Level Two and Three followed by more certification for both handler and K9.

August 2007, Esko is now a Certified Narcotics K9
