In all honesty I could not ask for anything more even if I tried hard. He is actually more than I hoped or expected. It's been a long time since I trained Airedale puppies and either my memory is off or Zander has more "working" ability than a normal 4-mo Airedale pup. He is much less stubborn than I expected and more "human-tuned" than average. His ball drive remains very strong - especially on the "chase and kill" part, but he will release it at verbal praise most of the time. He is afraid of nothing - trucks, horns, sirens, motor boats, party poppers, fire crackers - all nevermind to him. He loves water, enjoys obstacle courses, chases everything that moves and chews everything that fits into his mouth. He is PERFECT.

first time I fired a gun near Dixie, she looked at me as to say, "do that again". Zander is his mother all over again. Everyone of her pups comes out with strong drive. I am so glad he is doing so well, and I hope Gunnerette does the same. Ginger has no fear of anything either, neither does Gunner. See you and Yuri in a couple of weeks.

We were standing on a sidewalk next to a fire-truck that was waiting for green light when that darn driver desided to blast the sirens. I jumped about 4 feet high and fell over on my butt into the bush behind me - Zander was extatic - he thought that was the best trick I ever did.
