Claus

05/07: Just wanted to give you an update on Claus. He is home from the trainers and doing great!!! . . . The trainer . . . took a pic of him while she was training him and oh my gosh!!!!! It captures him to a tee!!! Stunning, massive, beautiful ,expressive eyes and oh so incredibly REGAL!!! A more impressive dog would most definitely be almost impossible to find!! (I am slightly prejudiced,of course!!) Although I'm sure you always strive to produce the very best of quality, I think you've more than outdone yourself with him!!! He is just magnificent!! — Annemarie (Vermont, USA)

 

11/26/07: Claus has been rehomed and is now living in New Hampshire. We are so happy with Claus' new home. We know he is getting lots of attention, goes everywhere with his new "dad" who is very active — just what a young dog like Claus needs. Below is a note from Claus' new owner:

We found out that tennis balls are his life. As long as he has a tennis ball he has no interest in chewing anything. We haven't picked up a crate yet, but we are planning on doing it very soon. He also likes to follow me when I'm on the mountain bike. The trails in our back yard are ideal for him. He keeps up with no problem. ~ Matt (New Hampshire, USA)

 

03/04/08: Sorry for the long delay with the pics. First Claus makes a toy of my USB cord, then my camera starts acting up. I took a pic of Claus the other day after the snow storm. I was outside with him playing ball and got this shot of him making the face he makes when he sees a tennis ball. ~ Matt

 

03/04/08 update: He really has changed. I don't know if he is just mature now that he's a bit older or what, but he has broken some of his old trends. Sometimes he will chew something, but that is only when we are out. I used to yell at him when he did it, but now that I recently read that its his way of coping with me being gone or dealing with stress I don't bother anymore. Instead I spoil him. Now he has has his own bachelor pad in the finished side of the basement. He likes the fact that he has his own sofa, tv, chew toys etc down there . . . . He has broken many of his bad habits and now he likes to swim. I cannot believe how fast he learns. After all his habits were broken (anxiety etc) I started teaching simple tricks. It took him 20 minutes to get “paw” without any problems. It really seems that he wants to learn. Anyway that's pretty much all that's going on. He likes going on hikes and doesn't let his ball out of his sight. ~ Matt
