I remember this day well. Working with Arno Kosco and his dog Fausti. Arno was a German Schutzhund Judge and a Legend in the Sport. He is also responsible for rescuing the hostages in The Iran Hostage situation in 1979 and has a mountain named after him as a result. A true Class act and an American Hero and one of the nicest men I have ever met in my life. I have heard from a few that he has passed away now. Such a Great man. He taught me a great deal about Schutzhund.

You want Beautiful? Check out this guy! This is "Buddy". Without a doubt the most Breathtakingly Stunning Irish Setter that I have ever seen in my life. He's in for some Advanced Training and judging by how's he's doing so far, the sky is the limit for what this dog is capable of. This is going to be F-U-N!!!!! I see many Titles in this dogs future. In fact, the owner has already been approached about a movie deal for him.
