My new DUTCH Shepherd - He is SPICY!!

[@kinguin7]

Haz a few weeks ago: "I don't like Dutchies, they can be handler aggressive." Haz: "Look at my new Dutchie!"

[@primalcritters]

It's true though they can be Handler aggressive. It's also true that I love dutches because they have working line GSD in them which is why they are so much more sizable than a regular dutchie. Actually I should call them X herders because they are not Dutch Shepherds. The knpv line of dogs uses a mixture of all three breeds.

[@mihaeladog7187]

Lol I was thinking the same , but for him is ok he can handle them . They’re not good for us. “ I want bruises before I go to bed”Lol, 😂what’s wrong with some ppl?My GSD is my gangsta 😂Freaks eh?My husband see a new bruise and don’t care anymore 😂

[@dogman2772]

@@primalcritters More than than herders in some lines. Mali and dutchie are basically the same breed(they were used to be considered the same back in the day). Some lines have apbt and mastiffs in their blood.

[@primalcritters]

@@dogman2772 yes I know this. Apbt has been mixed in I am aware. It just makes me laugh when people think they have a purebred Malinois that is almost 100 lb and very muscled with a large head. I always tell people no that's not a purebred malinois. Better than a purebred malinois! People get extremely offended though insisting they have a purebred malinois. They don't get the whole point of knpv dogs. I actually think they should just start calling them X herders as they do overseas. Purebred Malinois will be very slim dogs with narrow muzzles and fine bones. The dogs working in police and military are not this. They are very selectively bred mutts essentially. I say mutts in the best way

[@BX0207]

I recall that video and I think he's just challenging his abilities if you will ...and his challenging in his own self and his own skill... I don't think he's being a hypocrite in the sense of what he said ....it's like someone that doesn't want to plateau in their career when they're able to... and don't want to ride their niche of expertise dry...I think Haz loves what he does..and this shows it.

I think the same of my corso. He is a truly badass gangster (as Haz says haha) who takes his protection work more seriously than anything else in life. Positive reinforcement is only half the battle with my 140 pound beast of a boy.

[@raniyuna2930]

That comment...😂❤🙏🏻🦋 I am positive...but balanced training is always best or use methods which work on certain dogs. I can't understand why someone can think that positive training is everything. 😅

[@ToddWBucy-lf8yz]

16:00 A wagging tail means the dog is enjoying themselves, we often mistake that for friendliness. Working dogs don't just enjoy their work, they love it. Nothing makes them happier than their work. Keep that in mind when thinking of getting a working line dog. This dog obviously loves his job and you are working to help him understand what his job is.

[@tincansteve]

This dog reminds me of a friends dog. He was a solid black german shepherd all working lines (Troll Fero if not mistaken) and he was a schutzhund 1 when he got him and his previous owner (an older gentleman) got rid of him because the dog sent him to the hospital and he was afraid of him. I worked with this dog as a decoy a couple of times and it was scary, when you saw him in the field you knew he was meaning business, dominance and aggression was the order of the day. I never turned my back on him for a second. My friend did a couple of trials with him and he did great (One of the German judge at the trial wanted to buy the dog on the spot) until one day the dog tuned against him while he was training the blind search and sent him to the hospital. He finally sold it to another guy who was also an experienced dog trainer. I never heard of the dog after. This dog was awesome, big boned. solid head and a very good in tracking but was unpredictable and handler aggressive. My friend was a professional dog trainer at the time and a good schutzhund competitor but i think this dog was a couple levels over his abilities and knowledge at the time. I wish you best of luck with your new dog!!

[@rottsandspots]

interesting story. Thank you for sharing it. I think there is a big difference between a dog who is unpredictable to most trainers - but with a good enough trainer the triggers are actually clearly there (which I think will be the case here) and dogs who have a screw loose, with a genuine mental instability. In both cases you can be just unlucky, e.g. one day you slip and fall on the dog, or whatever, and end up very badly injured. A chance you take with such a dog.

[@tincansteve]

Haz this is 🔥🔥🔥. This is some foreal behind the scenes of having a dog like this and the little things that are actually training that a regular dog would let go by because it’s not even a thing. It would be awesome if we could catch as much as you could give us with this dog! Thanks and blessings

[@k9-unit-australia275]

Awesome dog. I must admit after 20 plus years of working dogs im over unpredictable dogs. I like mine stable these days. I always find even when you get a dog like this to a working stage it’s always in the back of your mind if you’re going to be taken out. There’s nothing worse then having to pussyfoot around an unpredictable reactive dog. (This is just my personal opinion)

[@jfkst1]

With unpredictability, it's not me that I worry about. It's variables I can't control like other people and dogs. The legal liability is so high these days.

[@jw-vx8im]

I have a couple of Belgian Malinois cross puppies, and I can see & hear the natural aggression in their play with each other, but Mace seems like his aggression is coming more from fear and insecurity... from abuse.

[@LS-mc2rv]

Makes perfect sense.

I want a dutchie and I want one like this but I don’t want to get a 2-3 year old one. I want to get a pup and I know it’s a crap shoot as to whether they grow into what you want but you can get a decent idea if you know what you’re doing. That’s the only way I’d want one.

[@rottsandspots]

I thought this video was very educational, both to the public, but more so to professional dog trainers. Watching a video of a great trainer like Haz, working with a dog way out of my league, makes me feel very humble. Even though it may not be the type of dog the vast majority of trainers specializes in, regardless there is so much learning to be done. Personally I find it sad that there are not more self professed force free trainers (who use plenty of force in their own way, much of it very detrimental and confusing to the average dog, who being a good soul just gets on with it) who are willing to learn from content such as this. The basis of trust and having a partnership with a dog is important, and we see the first steps here, but it is not the entire answer. More and more, particularly as tools are removed, people need to understand there are some dogs that are not safe little angels who simply need a few more cookies to be a good boy. This dog has as much of a right to live and enjoy life as any other dog - in the right hands where he is safely handled. The answer is not management and medication, but trained with someone with an appropriate skillset, one sadly in Europe is becoming demonised.

[@PrincessNicEssus]

Purchased a protection trained Belgian Malinois. He was kennel aggressive. He’d be worked with every day but as soon as he was put back in his kennel he would regress back to aggression. This went on for over a month. Had to return him to the breeder/trainer, my son is autistic and I didn’t feel comfortable with the amount of aggression that was seen. The breeder did say that one of his police officers was experiencing the same with another of his dogs.

But is it really ALL dutchies? I'm looking at a breeder here in France that breeds working dutchies for herding. As an aspiring farmer I'd love to have a dutchie for herding and this is the only breeder I found breeding for those qualities (as opposed to ring sports). In fact she says she only sells pups that will go to farms. Is it possible that her dutchies also have these sorts of traits that you speak about, like trying to control their environment and so on?

[@maggiethedruid9010]

I think the herding lines are a bit better. Maybe see if you can talk to people who have had dogs from them for a while?

[@michiel5160]

If she breeds for herding, I assume a decent amount don't qualify for this work (always dogs in the litter that don't work well). So does she keep those dogs or still sell them to farmers?

Most his life, when ever he heard people speak, it was in Dutch. Now you and everyone he sees speaks English. Poor dog is going through his version of a culture shock.

You may give him some commands in Dutch but..he knows the difference, especially when he sees you talking to the camera or other people. Their smarter than most think 😊 😎
