I don't know if Marc's wife posted here or not.
I do know that the dogs are registered, are tested for hips/elbows/cerf and many others. I also know that the references that Marc provides from vets, trainers and other breeders is extremely impressive.
Me personally, I look for police service type dogs, therefore titles mean zip to me. I am not sure what type of title you are looking for in this situation. I certainly would walk away from sport titles in a second; show titles are great for a show dog, not what I look for!
Notice the titles Deb Meloche's dogs have? None, but the pedigree is full of dogs doing the actual work. This is what I look for in my selection process.
Now I cannot defend or degrade the breeding program as the first litter will be on the ground in March from them. I have a deposit on that litter, because I want to see what comes out and like I said they have my attention.
Once I get a pup and get it going {about 18 months to 2 years from now} then I can tell exactly what type of quality or lack of; whichever the case may be they produce.
Exactly: There is always potential in any ones breedings, sure they may not have any titles, but you can look at the dogs in the pedigree. Now I know that they Augers have one of my dogs. Glory.A short stocked working line, sure has some white on her although does not take away from the quality in her breeding. She comes from some of my impressive breeding dogs.
Tucker out of top german holland breeding Sch 1, 2, 3 kkl1 Started in bh for sch.
Yeka K-9 security, building, vehicle search personal protection dog. East German Ddr lines
Teka Fully trained Search and Rescue, K-9 Security, Narcotic Patrol,building and Vehicle search dog. High and intense strong nerves ready to go when ever needed. Completed Personal Protection dog
Jake: Fully trained K-9 Security, building search vehicle search, narcotic patrol dog. Extreme intensive personal protection dog.
And the list goes on. As far as the papers I beleive he choses to register with the Apr Registry. That is his choice and to be honest with you as long as there are some sort of paper trail on the dogs who should care.
Now yes there are some issues that needed to be corrected and I have dealt with them and they have listened well to instructions with the proper approach. The dogs are no longer on tow chains. But in full kennel indoor out door runs. They have a rescue program which I would say is honorable.
Now as far as their breeding program is concerned, there are only three dogs that they are working with and that is Glory, Yukon, and Ava. Ava another of my breeding. As well what I understand is that they have not had a litter of their own as yet. So as far as I am concerned all and every one requires the benifit of the doubt.
I will tell you this, I am the type of person that will give just about anyone a chance. If I see that any of my dogs are being miss treated I will deal with the issue and deal with it hard. So if there were to be any type of abuse directed to the dogs she or any one that has received from me be assured they would have been removed in a heart beat.
I will state this I have worked very hard for the reputation that I have and I will be damed if any one ruin it for me. So when I see a potential problem, I take the time out of my busy day and go and work with yours. I can say I have given them permission to use the information at hand on Glory and Ava. Why not it is the truth and why keep that from anyone. Good luck with the pup you receive from the Auger's and keep in touch with us so we can see how the dog is developing
