Now that we are past trial weekend it is time to sign up for the Charlie seminar and protection tournament!
Some answers to frequently asked questions:
1. The seminar day is not to find holes in your dog to use against you. It is meant to be a building day for you and your dog to PREPARE you for the tournament day.
2. We are not doing anything crazy that could potentially hurt your dog. Charlie is putting together age appropriate scenarios to accommodate the expected amount of training for each age division. Pressure will increase with each age division.
3. In the most advanced level there will be scenarios encompassing defense, agility, and control. No, you do not need PSA level 1 focused heeling, or focused heeling at all.
4. Think of it as real world scenarios you might encounter with your protection dog.
5. Puppies will not be expected to have any obedience. This will be more a display of genetics for protection and bite work.

This is meant to be a fun and fair tournament to let loose and have a good time. If you think your dog is struggling call out training mode to go back into building mode.

I am starting to make some choices on who will be staying here long term from the Gouda x War litter. Unfortunately that means I have to start parting with some puppies.
Coming up on 13 weeks old next week. Yellow collar female is a larger female in the litter. She is very sweet, handler orientated, and does great for food luring. Confident around new people and did well handling the commotion of the last seminar we held here. She is already showing a great off switch and has no problem chilling while chaos is happening. She is showing nice hunt drive so sar, tracking, or detection would be possible career choices. Also suitable for AKC sport venues. She was initially very spicy when it came to biting but that has tapered off a bit. Based on previous litters and parents l'd expect that to come back up again but I would not want to guarantee her as a top bitesport pick right now.
Will be AKC registered and located in central Arkansas

Kaze is available to the perfect home. Ideal home would be someone who wants to do frisbee, dock diving, continue bite sport or personal protection, or participate in some other sport venue. Kaze is out of the 2022 puddin' x Kasino PSA3 breeding. Kaze is on the smaller side but loves to work. He has great ball and food drive, handler engagement, and is easily handled. Fully trained on and off leash obedience, ecollar conditioned, and has traveled the country. He is great in stores/public places. He is social until turned on. Car jacking scenario is his favorite activity.
He has a nice focused heel, all motion exercises, change of position (all 3), has a leg of his PSA1 and two PDC's. He loves dock diving, fast cat, running with the atv, hiking, fetch etc. He is great in the house and in the car. Not destructive and a great cuddler. He is missing his two top canine teeth (surgically extracted due to fracture) but it has not affected his grip at all. Located in central Arkansas

Stitch is an 18 month old male intact Dutch shepherd. He is overall green. High food drive, mid ball drive, loves bitework. He will work for anybody and is very social and confident in new situations. He is on bicep targeting. Has a foundation for heeling with the process of fading the lure started. This would be a great dog for someone wanting a green dog who has basic foundation but is on a budget.

I want to start rewarding the people who are going above and beyond with their Lost Creek K9 dogs so every year and trial season we are going to offer some awards and financial incentives to the dogs in each litter who are the "first" to do something. I know not everyone is doing PSA, but I would say a good majority are. If I start seeing a lot of interest in other types of sports I wouldn't be opposed to adding more financial incentives for other sports!
