Gigi was purchased from Scott Bushong by a woman whom I was dating at the time and I was sort of the co-owner .....Gigi showed incredible "ball drive" as a puppy and was very athletic even at a very young age......When she was 7 months old I started training with Tom Riche and he really liked her from the start.....Tom would call her a "junkie" for the work & said she was loaded with "booty drive".....She only had about 15 sessions with Tom before he moved back to Cali but was gripping full & hard on the trial sleeve at 8 months of age and at 9 months Dave Deleissegues said she looked very promising for "high level" sport work............When Tom moved I pretty much stopped training Gigi and would just bring her out for exercise once & awhile......The previous owner and I stopped dating and I became G's new full time owner but she was really just living a pet life with me because I was putting all my time into my boy Capone......In late Feb of 2006 I had to put Capone down and I was pretty much done with training dogs and all that goes with it but decided to take Gigi to the 2006 HOD show just for fun and she did awesome with very little training and a layoff of 18 months......G placed 3rd out of 40+ dogs in the Hardest Hitting & also took 2nd place in the novice PP event out of another 25+ dogs........I left the HOD thinking maybe I should put some time into her because it wasn't fair to her as a working dog to have no job to do so that's what I did...........In late May 2006 I started training with Bill Kulla who is a National/World class trainer & competitor in the sport of Schutzhund and in less than 5 months Gigi earned her Sch-BH,WABA BST-1 & BST-2 ( GIGI is one of only 7 females to earn this title!!!) with high ratings & scores!!!!!..........Bill K believes that she can earn the Sch-3 title so that's our ultimate goal and she'll be trailing for the Sch-1 sometime next spring........Gigi is the funnest dog I've ever owned!!!!......She just loves to work and always goes balls to the wall be it swimming,treadmill,hang time,playing 2 ball,bike rides,OB and bitework.....She has ALOT of drive & a VERY strong work ethic which makes it very easy to train her.........I also love her temperament as she's AWESOME with little kids and was raised with a little girl by the previous owner and then with my niece & her friends.....Gigi is very affectionate and follows me around like my shadow...LOL....Guess she figured out I was the source of all her entertainment!!!......Here are some of her working highlights......38 mins hangtime....Won 4-5 sprint races with 3 of them under 4 seconds....Placed in the top 3 in hardest hitting 3x against a total of 80 dogs....Ran 17 miles in less than 2 1/2 hrs....Scored 44/50 in her BST-1 OB in which the judge said was the 2nd best OB routine he's ever judged.........All in all she's been one incredible dog for me and we just started so I hope for some more titles in the near future and also some outstanding working prospects out of her breeding to Markow's Coal Chamber Sch-3.
