Thank you for your response!

I agree their website is pretty vague, but their Facebook page is much more up to date. I've found much of their lineage through various forums, YouTube, and Facebook. I've also spoken with them briefly, but since I am about a year out from getting a pup it is too early to tell which dogs he plans to breed in the Fall.

All of their lines are from KNPV lineage, and they sell a lot to Military, Police Departments, and a variety of other government agencies. They also have a 2 year health guarantee (which is nice). I know getting a pup regardless of the kennel can be a crap shoot sometimes but from what I've gathered Mike stands behind his dogs and will do an exchange if you're unhappy with a pup's performance.

Because of not knowing what breeding's he has planned toward the end of next year, I was trying to get an idea of how happy others are with his kennel (for those who have his dogs/have been around them). Also, I was trying to gauge if others may have additional recommendations on other kennels (there's always more info to gather) who may be producing quality working line Dutch Shepherds.

You can also have a high prey dog that is not environmentally sound. They can have high or low food drive. That’s where you come in. If you are referring to a high threshold specific to prey drive, I would say high prey or a lower threshold is better. High prey is tapped into via tug or chase as a reward. Too much and it can be a deterrent as the dog can’t focus or control his impulses if not put in check.
