The Hovawart Dog in CDO


James is believed to be the only one of its kind here in the Philippines. It was brought here by my Uncle Dieter Sokoll a German Citizen who is now residing here in Cagayan de oro city last September 2009.
The Hovawart is a German dog breed. The name of the breed means "an estate guard dog," which is the original use for the breed. The breed originated in the Black Forest region and was first described in text and paintings in medieval times.
The Hovawart does exceptionally well in search and rescue, tracking and working dog activities. The females are generally lighter in build and often love agility. In training and especially obedience work the trainer must keep positive reinforcement in mind all the time, as the Hovawart is not as eager to please as many other working dog breeds: it always needs some kind of motivation. It is important to realize that the Hovawart works with you and not for you. They do have the ability to think and act independently. Their guarding instinct for example does not require any real training; it is inherent, as it is what they were bred for. The Hovawart may easily become reluctant if training is built only on punishments.
James have mated with our German Shepherd Gina. The result are 9 lovely and cute puppies. They are 12 weeks old by now. (5) Five are for sale. Complete with Vaccines. For more information please call or txt to: Gil 0916 9174034 or Bheng 0926 8084607
