Hi Taunya,
We are so happy with our new pup. She is so good

Great news. Fantastic dog; superb handler.
I am proud to have an Ozzy pup. He is as close to a perfect pup as anyone could
possibly dream of - no weaknesses at all and NOT handler sensitive. Through the
roof drives, totally focused and immediate synthesis of information while
learning. Complete pup - could go as far as he and his handler want(s) in top
level Sch (sport) competition, transition to PP, Pol Svs or SAR. Extreme, *full
blast* drive all the time (even when seemingly exhausted) as promised (have to
watch the fingers and hands). No one handles this guy but me.
Hope you enjoyed the UKC event (photos suggest you did;-)

Ivan zet Eurosportu |
Taunya,
I want to publicly thank Eurosport and Taunya and Josef Mravik for Ivan zet
Eurosportu:
http://www.eurosportk9.com/forsale/i/ivan/ivan.asp
I just recently purchased this magnificent
high level sport 12 month old puppy. I communicated my needs in a dog to
Taunya. She was honest and open with me throughout the negotiations. Originally
I asked Taunya about purchasing another dog for sale on her website. She told me
that he was not the dog for me and why. I appreciated her candidness.
Ivan has been with us approximately 2 weeks.
Ivan had a two day journey: Day 1 - Slovakia and Day 2 - Germany to Houston.
What a trip for a youngster! He came out of his crate at IAH and marched down
weird open metal steps like the sound trooper he is. Ivan was born in Texas and
sent to Eurosport’s Puppy Program in Slovakia because of his extreme talent for
sport. In Eurosport’s Puppy Program he received the most excellent solid
foundation for high level competition sport. I personally highly recommend
Eurosport’s breeding program and Puppy Program.
Ivan is all Taunya promised and more! Ivan is
an absolute joy in my life.
Thank you Taunya and Josef!

Introducing to You My New Friend and Companion
from Slovakia - Ivan zet Eurosportu |
Hello Club Members and Friends,
Just want to share with you my new friend and companion. He has been a top
classified whispered secret. The secret is out and his name is Ivan (prounounced
E-van.) "Ivan" means "The Lord is Gracious." Truly, the Lord is gracious in
bringing me this boy. Thank you Lord for Ivan!
http://www.eurosportk9.com/forsale/i/ivan/ivan.asp

Ivan's Daddy,SG Basco ze Slovanskeho Domu SchH3, IPO3, FH1, a Normal is pretty

Ivan zet Eurosportu Pedigree:
http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/553133.html
Look at those WUSV dogs! Wow!
Many of you know the heartache and tragedy that I have been through with dogs,
so I wanted to keep Ivan a secret until his arrival. He arrived Wednesday after
a long two day stressful journey. Ivan traveled from Bratslavia, Slovakia to
Frankfort, Germany on Tuesday. On Wednesday he traveled from Frankfort, Germany
to Houston. He came out of his crate social and sound. Joe went out the wrong
door at the airport with him. Ivan and Joe walked down weird metal open stairs.
Not a problem for this sound working boy! He's loving, clear headed, and sound.
Yet he is all energy when it is time to work! Ivan will be a force to contend
with on the Schutzhund and Working Dog Sport field when he grows up. In the
meantime, Ivan and I are busy having a wonderful time bonding. He is just a baby
boy with a lot of learning and maturing to do. Ivan, Mercy and I are just going
to enjoy the journey. Glad that each one of my friends can be a part.
I thank Eurosport for breeding this magnificent boy and allowing me this
opportunity. Taunya was open and honest to me when I contacted her about what I
wanted: National Competition SchH 3/WDS 3 sport potential with good hips and
elbows, able to KKL (breed survey), excellent working line pedigree for
breeding. Ivan was born in Texas. Because of his extreme sport talent, he was
sent along with his brothter , Itala, to Europort's Puppy Program in Slovakia.
Europort is keeping his brother, Itala, who you can see on Eurosport's Puppy
Program link. Ivan is all that Taunya promised and more. Ivan's temperament is
FABULOUS as a top sport working competition dog and as my personal friend and
companion.
But most of all - after the Lord, of course, I thank you, my club members and my
wonderful friends from other clubs. Ivan and I will need you in our journey for
socialization, helper work, input. Thanks to all of you my friends. You are
needed. That's what friends are all about!
God Bless You,
Victoria |

Asan z Lukyho dvora IPO2 |
Hey Taunya
Just to let you know all has went well today. When Bill first got home with him
and let him out he was a little disoriented but not hackling just kinda
concerned as to where and why he was here, kinda pacey. So we all went for a
long walk around the farm and fed him a bunch of treats. Second time out today
for a walk you could tell he was a little more at ease but still on guard and we
didn't ask anything from him just another walk and taking food from both of
us...This time he initiated the food, which was a good sign. Third time out
today I told Bill to take him on the Schutzhund field and see if he would take
the ball and play, thinking it would take some stress off and it did!! I think
he and Bill will get along just fine...After a ball play session he finally just
relaxed and laid beside Bill's chair and you could tell by his breathing he was
more relaxed....I think in a few days he will be fine....will keep you posted.
Here is a picture of the 2 new buddies! He is a beautiful boy,can't wait for him
to settle so we can really see the true Asan! He looked clean but didn't get
down to smell him.

Yes, she's doing well. She spent her first 2
nights with me and 4 college kids who had the time of their lives playing with
her. She loved it! She is still a bit unsettled but getting better every day.
She isn't that great with the cats so I am keeping them apart until I have the
time to deal with it. I've only had her home for 3 days so it is all still very
new. She gets along great with Luther, who took her straight to the pond (she
dove right in), and they run laps around the pasture and up and down the
irrigation ditch. She has gone to bed very tired every night! She is very
social, loves people and has attached herself to me like glue. The language is
still a big barrier. I went to your website and have been working on the words
but can't seem to pronounce the down command correctly (she looks at me like I'm
nuts), but the come and sit are fine, and she is learning everyday words we use
like wait, good, yes, and of course no! ( I tend to use "knock it off" a lot).
Attached are some pictures of Tyna and Luther running around the pond. She looks
like a little wolf! I've included a couple of Ananny and Luther too, just for
old times sake. I am leaving in the early morning for 4 days, but will get with
you when I get back.

Derry |

Hi Taunya,
Derry is doing great...I LOVE this dog. I
couldn't be more pleased. He has the temperament and looks that just fit
and he can be a real clown too. We were just playing around last evening
when I would start walking he would flop down in front of me and roll around
like a puppy would do. I do wish he was a little more cat friendly...lol. I
hope you can make it to the OkC shows the end of this month. Thanks again to you
and Josef (now HE is the lucky dog) for Derry and hope we meet soon.
I picked Derry up at the airport, went smooth, no probs. The thing I regretted
was that I didn't let him out of the box until about 4 hours later when I got
home.
I REALLY like this dog, he is more handsome and "German" looking than in his
pics, I love his head piece and he isn't even two yet.
Thanks to you and Josef for finding this guy for me.

Igor received his BH today and he was awesome. 57
out of 60 points - best in the group by a longshot. It was hot and it was the
first time I made him do the whole routine without the ball and he couldn't have
made me any prouder. The judge complimented us on doing a good job and having a
clean performance and it was about the best feeling in the world. he was very
steady during the temperament test. I know while I was out of sight, the judge
walked by and dropped his clipboard right next to him and I was told he didn't
flinch. Here are a couple photos from the
BH. One is just of us heeling and the other is after getting our critique.

Her hunt drive and toy drive is over the top.
She is already searching for marijuana Her bite is great. She is just a little
apprehensive and unsure about what we want her to do. Janie will have her
narcotics detection finished pretty quick so that will give her more time to
work on her confidence. The department that bought her had planned on having her
fixed. She has the best personality!! And is just the funniest.

I gave him a kiss for you and I think it paid

after a suspect shot someone. Niko found the gun used in the offense and
apprehended the subject (who was hiding in a back yard.) Everyone here in
Cincinnati, Ohio is in love with Niko. His size alone has people giving up and
not wanting to fight with us. Thank you as always for what you do. Give Nuky a

I don't have any in front of the patrol car but
I attached one of her with 9 pounds of marijuana she found on a warrant search
on a house. that should look good on your website!
Also need to ask you about another female. I have a customer wanting a 8-9 month
old female to train for home and personal protection. She has to be very social
and good around small kids. I see you have a low price on one named Dixa. Why is
the price lower on her? Is it her ear not standing? What is the price on her? Is
she in Slovakia or Brady?

Loki has arrived safe and sound |
Yes, he is INCREDIBLY adorable! We arrived home
in Morgantown, WV Saturday morning around 1:00 am. The friends we were staying
with became quite attached to him and leaving Martainsburg, WV was somewhat
difficult. We have a picture coming of him meeting a pair of ferrets that they
own. Loki got along with them quite well. The picture is really cute. He travels
extremely well in a car and slept most of the way (I wish I could have :^D).
Yesterday, we took him to visit a number of my nieces and nephews. He was a big
hit. They loved him, and he loved them. Lots of running and playing.
Interestingly, one of my nephews has special needs, and Loki took a special
interest in him, and was even somewhat protective. When our nephew was away from
the rest of the children he would watch him intently to make sure that he was
okay. Loki was really gentle with all the children and loved playing sniff the
frisbee. Our other nephew would throw a frisbee, and Loki would beat him to it,
Loki would sniff the frisbee and wait for our newphew to come and throw it
again. He seems to know when someone is afraid of him and latches on to that
person or child. He will follow the person around and will sit to be given a pat
on the head by that person. He is really gentle and sweet.
On the shipping side, everything went off without a hitch, I though customs
might have just been a little bit slow in clearing him, but it was not too bad.
I really liked the puppy passport included with his papers. Can we use that to
keep his shot records in general? The only thing that did not appear to be
included were his Slovakian and AKC pedigree paperwork. Will that be sent at a
future date?
On the evaluation side. He seems to be REALLY smart. After only two days of
house training he is already starting to go to the door (briefly) when he wants
out! I have never seen that so fast in any dog. We will probably begin
rudimentary obedience training to day working the sit. I have bought a book
called Schutzhund: Theory and Training Methods by Susan Barwig and Stewart
Hilliard (do you know them by chance?) and we will begin working Loki through
that system tomorrow. We intend to use Slovakian commands He prey drive seem
pretty intense for every thing except a frisbee. He loves tennis balls. We have
a burlap roll which he REALLY loves. The pet store had a toy that looks like a
small tire, but is made especially for dogs and he loves to chase that when
rolled. When he gets it he prances around with it like he just took down some
large adversary. About the only thing he does not like is frisbees which he
likes to chase but does not retrieve.
Well, that is about it for now. I'll keep in touch and send lots of pictures and
videos. We will copy them to Dave McDonnell. Feel free to put them on your
website if you like. Thank you very much for Loki he is awsome. If you ever need
an endorsement just let me know and I'll give you and Josef a glowing one.
Thanks again.
Until next time,
Michael, Libby, Nico & Rachel |

Xamb met the Taskforce for the first time on
Friday. He was a big hit and really enjoyed the attention. He seems to be
getting more into things every day. I took him to the training pile just to see
it and he jumped up on it like a pro. He continues to surprise me (pleasantly)
at every training we go to. He is progressing, almost faster then I'd like him
to due to his young age and physical limits. I'll keep him corralled and give
him time to grow. I have every confidence he'll be ready to go very soon.
Attached is the latest picture of him.

Hi Taunya,
I am just now getting around to getting Slicky
registered with the AKC and though t I would send you a few pictures that we
took to send in with his registration papers. We took these yesterday. I think
he is very pretty. I didn't stack him up all that well but did the best I could.
We had a great tracking class today. I stayed afterward and worked both dogs as
the class is mostly lecture. Lucy was great as always. I hadn't worked Slick in
a week and the last time I stayed close and really worked at keeping his nose to
the ground. Wow, he must have either thought it all over or got charged up
watching the other dogs work. He came flying out of the car, pulled all the way
up to the start flag and was on the track with his nose down. He flew down the
track, and was probably too fast since I had to jog to keep up. He was just as
good on the second one we did but was a little slower which I think is a good
thing.

Hi Taunya,
I hope all is well. We are
good. I took Slicky on an outing today to PetsMart and then
to the park (where we went tracking). He was a huge hit at
PetsMart. People thought he was beautiful and so nice. He
gave a couple of hugs out too. One woman loved him and I
gave her your website address. She thought he was gorgeous
and has a wonderful personality. He does like everybody and
has started giving the nicest hugs. He gets up and gently
puts his paws on your shoulders and then gives these gentle
little doggy kisses. It's a lot different from the
Rottweiler storm trooper approach. I able to do some new
location training and he was good. A bit distracted at first
but he was able to pull himself together and do some
obedience. I have cleaned up my act from that video.. When
are the schutzhund worlds? You and Josef must be really busy
getting ready for them.

Hi Tanya,
I thought I’d drop you a line to let you know how Agar is doing… he’s just
great. My 2 year old daughter and Agar are the best of buds. He sits so
patiently for her to read books to him. It’s adorable. He’ll let her do just
about anything to him from lay on him, touch his teeth, to even trying to put
headbands on his head. LOL
I just sent his son Sig who’s 13 months old now to Mike Diehl for training and I
got some wonderful reports from him about the pup. He really likes him and says
he’s a nice high quality dog. I was so pleased to hear that as I was hoping he’d
turn out as nice as his daddy so I can keep a piece of Agar going in my home for
a long time. Hope all is well with you and Joseph. Agar sends his love and
kisses to you all.

Alan Schrom (Bear) and our upcoming vacation to East
coast |

Taunya,
I wanted to give you a bit of an update. His fourth training session (this
morning) went much better; in fact it was so much better that he was rewarded
with being able to have a bit of 'free run' with Orsina in our three acre yard.
(I knew that Orsina will not run off; and felt that he would more or less stick
with her). Of course i watched him, and didn't let him get out of my sight; he
was wonderful; he ran and had a ton of happy fun running around, playing tag
with Orsina ... fun fun
I have been doing long downs with both Orsina and Alan/Bear both lying as we
watch tv, and being rewarded after a bit of time. I enclose a few photos of two
long down practices and also of their kennel in their all Season room, where I
can lock them both up when I need to wash the floot. Yesterday we had steak; we
always used to take the trimmings and cut them to smaller pieces, and divide
them between Orsina and perry, a geriactric chinese pug. Orsina was used to
having the long down, followed by the reward of the steak bits. I wasn't sure
that Alan/Bear would stay down while I put the plate with his little share, in
front of him. But he did! He waited for the release word!! ... What a good boy!
You know Paul is an ER doctor. We had put in a request to the hospital for at
least two weeks off to visit our vacation place (half an acre on Pamlico Sound).
They just planned March's schedule. have been told by the hospital that it will
be convenient for us to go from March 1 to March 19. We will bring both Orsina
and Alan Bear there. I know you will be in this area and wanted to visit Mid
Rivers Schutzhund and see Alan/Bear work. I had talked to Dyan, the director's
wife about your being in Illinois to get help with calm retrieve; she knows the
man you will stay with; she says he lives about an hour from our training place.
I hope that your plan to visit our club will be after March 19. Let us know if
you can when you were thinking of visiting.
I will try not to clutter your mail box with these daily reports of progress. I
want to let you know that we will do our best to get his BH and SH1 as soon as
we can!

Hey, Did some obedience and lots of bite work this
AM. I am gaining great trust in this dog. I love his attitude. It is becoming
more and more positive each day. We are getting to know each other.
A tracker, well, he's not there... yet, But
obedience and protection ..wow. He has power, but, Taunya, its clearly
controlled power! I am lucky you recommended him and I think saved me money! I
never thanked you.
Had a clean bill of health from the vet .
Weighed 81.5 lbs. He doesn't look fat at all. House broken, I think....

Thank you so much! He's wonderful... came
through the flight fine and the 2 hour drive home. Met the horses - he's got a
great bark! Kids love him - he's not interested in the cat - seems to really
like the idea of being inside the house and just hanging out. Will forward some
pictures. thanks again for all your help. met a guy at the cargo area who was
picking up another dog from you guys. small world.

I picked Gildo up from the airport yesterday. He arrived in good spirits in fact
when they went to load his cage in my SUV he went off on the workers. My first
thought was okay this could be fun. I got him out at one of the rest areas and
he was fine. He is truly an awesome looking dog, I love his deep color. Thanks
again for a great dog.
Thanks,

I am sending a picture of Ada with her new family, Lisa (Wayne’s sister) and
Brad Daye. They love Ada, and I think the situation is working well for all.
Lisa asked that I also include a photo of Ada involved in her favorite activity,
watching the squirrels outside through the window. Actually, I think the
favorite activity would be to go outside and chase them, but she is content just
to watch through the window most of the time!

Taunya,
How are things? Thought you might like a few
pictures of Chesy. She has grown so much. She was in heat last month and lost
about 10lbs. Its takin a few weeks for her to put the wait back on but shes
almost there. Its hard to get a side shot of her cause shes so active and loves
to run around. When you give her the command to stay she sits and waits. Hard to
take a side picture of her standing by my self, LOL. She is very obedient and
loving. It was a little hard for my wife, Anne and I to stay with the Slovak
commands, so we started over in English. For some reason Anne tried the commands
again last week and the only word she responded to was "Sad ni. She is great
with our 5 year old Daughter, they play together all day, once in awhile Chesy
forgets how big she is and knocks Mackenzie over and then likes her face, LOL.
When we go out to the Acreage she watches my daughter like a hawk and stays by
her side. I take Chesy to work with me every now and then
and she's really friendly with people coming in and out of my office. Chesy is a
very important part of our family and we thank you for every thing you guys have
done.

Hi Taunya,
I am in love with this dog !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a terrific animal!!!!!!! He's magnificent.
Totally self assured, soooo social and HUGE ball and food drive. My male Dancer
thinks he is a very nice Xmas present HA!
Wayne also adores him...most helpful to have
your husband happy with him.
I took him along yesterday to see a bit of the
world. 3 of us met at Norwich University to train (SAR). We have 3 feet of snow
which presents some challenges. The campus is abandoned during school vacation.
We had 3 huge curved parking lots surrounded by massive mountains of piled snow
which made for a great place to work Iko. He greeted John and Phyllis with great
enthusiasm.....We did recalls for treats. Both John and Phyllis played with
him...he knows the 2 ball game well. He was such fun...plays with anyone! We
held him and threw balls up onto the snow mountains...yelped,
lunged...DRIVE!!!!!. Watching him work is amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for selecting him for me..

Hi Taunya,
Iko arrives on time and in great shape!!! We got through customs in 15 minutes
...unheard of. A man from Maine took delivery of 2 8 week Neopolitan
Mastiffs...how cute!!!!! He knew how to navigate through downtown Boston to
customs so we made a good team.
Iko came out happy, delighted to play a game of tug with me...bounced around
cargo parking area meeting everyone...totally unconcerned about trucks, etc. I
adore him!!!!! Very gentle caring dog.We got on the road on the leading edge of
Friday traffic and got home by 7:15!
His enormous crate is set up in the family room. He's had a tour of most of the
house and delighted in playing in the snow like those bobcats you see in nature
shows which pounce...stand up on their hind legs...wait...look, listen then
launch into a airborne pounce in to the snow.....what a hoot! He has a lush wavy
coat well suited for a winter climate.
I will take some pictures tomorrow and will take him out for a romp in the
woods.
I am tired and am heading to bed. Iko was very hungry but I fed him only 1/2 cup
dry along with brown rice and a little broth and a probiotic.
Chat tomorrow,

& Bite Work.) We are so please with him. my trainer David is currently working
several other eurosport dogs and says he likes all of the dogs, however, Viper
is by far the pick. Very clear head, great with the family, showing early signs
of a top sport dog. Thanks! |

Iso made it here none the worse for wear. He's a
ball of energy right now and has quite a few house manners to learn as to be
expected. Anyways, I'll email you later with a ton of other questions. I only
got about 3 hours sleep last night after the trip up the DC and back so I'm
gonna try and get some more sleep. Oh yeah, it didn't take long for him to turn
into my shadow.

Your dogs which we purchased have turned out
just fine. If we keep getting that kind of dog from you, we will be very happy.
We are always looking for tough police type
dogs, so if you could keep that in mind it would be great.

He is working nicely. SOLID nerves which I love.
Is not scared of ANYTHING environmentally. Learns very quickly in obedience.
When he does grip it is always full and calm. He has it genetically thats for
sure!!! So in a nut shell I am very pleased with him.
Gabor Silazi from Hungary that trains with
Mike at Indy told me I was a crazy for making him a cop dog. He said this dog is
to talented for police work and should be used in the sport.
Did I mention I loved his color too. Anyway I
appreciate you selling him to me. He is doing great.

Excellent news. Did they still smell good?
It's funny you should mention that. I was sitting down and she came and laid
across my lap and I got a big smell of her back and yes, she still smelled
good!! It's not often that folks take the time to bathe the dogs before
shipping, I really appreciate it.
Gala has been very loving and comes when called. She has not been aloof or shy
at all. The one thing she tries though is to always escape. Hopefully she gets
over that.
Dora has been a dream, my daughter has taken her over and we are practicing the
Slovak commands and will work the dogs today. They are eating great, still
adjusting to the food change but happy and upbeat.
For some reason they put all the documents that were on top of Galas kennel in
the crate with her and she ate them. Can you tell me what is Doris's full name
please. Also when do I expect documents.
Thank you

The puppy is doing fine, settling in surprising
quick. He's adapted to the horses, pigs chickens and ducks quite well, and the
cat issue is calming down. Quite possibly the best dog of the seven we have had
in the last 26 years. Let me know what commands he was initiated with if you
could please. Also we require the papers along with pedigree to register with
AKC and CKC. Did they start with paper training or crate training or what? Let
me know. Thanks,

Hello Ladies!
Dono has safely arrived to his new home, and he is perfect.
At the airport I took him out on lead to go potty before our two hour drive
home. And he was social, alert, and completely unaffected by his journey. When I
got him home I bathed and dried him and cleaned out his kennel for him. He is
everything I could have hoped for and more. Thank you very much for all the help
you two gave me!!!

gorgeous! He is a great dog and great family companion. Shocking enough he isn't
very protective but his size, and appearance frightens people terribly. I will
send you more pictures of him. I am going to look at the puppy your telling me
about and let you know my thoughts on her. Do you have any available adults
around that price range? I like Arc's coloring and look but personality would be
more important to me.

Taunya,
I just had to tell you that Megi is the most
amazing dog I have ever had. In just one day she had bonded to me like I always
had dreamed a dog would be. She wants to be with me everwhere. She goes with me
to do chores in the barn, she climbed in the golf cart like she had been doing
it all her life. When I sit down, she is at my feet. And we haven't even gotten
to the really fun stuff. Everyone wanted to know why I had to buy a dog from
Eurosport when I could have bought a cheaper dog here in the states. I always
knew the answer but now I have the proof. Thanks from the bottom of my heart and
add me to the long list of satisfied clients.

Alan |
Hi Taunya,
Took Alan tracking this morning for the first time. Conditions were not the
best, the field I used had the grass cut yesterday and I did not know. He went
out and tracked like a champ. Very fast, nose to the ground and happy to do it.
We just did a scent box and short right angle turn on the track. He even picked
up my footsteps back to the car when we were playing ball afterward.
Also, took Alan to see Scott yesterday. That is why it has taken so long to
reply. Scott said he loved him. He was clear in the head and a really nice dog.
Scott worked him in the blind and escape and long bite and said grips were
great. Another helper at the club in DC worked him about 2 hours later and the
first thing he said was quote" this fucker bites hard". You should have seen the
smile on my face. I think it is still there. Have video if you would like to
see.
Thanks

Hi Taunya,
Congrats on the WUSV Championship. You guys did great. Also, I wanted to tell
you that I finally saw Gary working on his bite. I did some decoy work with him
and he is really powerful and intense!!! - and his grips are SUPERB!!!!! Now I
know what you mean when you mentioned him turning his head a little. Its not
avoidance but he does turn it to the side on the bark and hold, looks kinda
cool. Adolfo just needs to work on the fact that he sometimes turns his whole
body to the side and gets on the left side of the helper. Other than that...
everything is great.
