Viggo

    We bought Viggo when he was almost 6 months old. In his very first show, he placed VP1 under
SV Judge Helmut König. I enrolled in puppy obedience classes where Viggo excelled and earned his
CGC Certificate. We had great hopes for him and planned to send him to several shows during the
first year and then on to Germany for his training and titles. Unfortunately things didn't go as
planned. We had to re-adjust our plans and decided to work on his training and titling on our own.
    In the summer of 2005, Viggo earned his AD and an SG rating. We then had to put off training
due to family medical problems. After about a year off from our training, with encouragement and
help from several good people, I continued to work with Viggo. We earned his BH the fall of 2006,
his TR1 the fall of 2007. I have been training Viggo in all three phases of Schutzhund. He has very
strong drive for tracking, and we will be trying for a TR2 as well as his AKC CD title this year. He
will earn his titles as a HOT (Handler Owner Trained) dog.
    Viggo did not have the qualities that I feel is required for a breed worthy male so I had him
neutered at 2 1/2 years of age. I later found out that he has Pannus, which is a (some believe
genetic) eye disease. He also shows symptoms of EPI, so we have modified his diet and he is doing
much better. He is our family pet and I will continue to train and title him. We are currently
enjoying some agility activities, as well as tracking and some AKC obedience events.
