~ DOG OF THE MONTH ~
april
Each month starting in February 2025, the PDS team will be choosing a dog at random to participate in this fun feature.
If chosen the PDS team will contact you for information. We can't wait to introduce the amazing dogs that play at PDS to all of you!
PDS Dog of The Month April 2025 The German Shepherd Dog is a large, agile, dog of noble character and high intelligence.
Originally bred as sheep herding dogs, German Shepherd’s have become renown for their work in many venues including military, police, search and rescue, service dogs and they can make amazing sport dogs in just about any venue.
Our dog of the month for April is a great representative of his breed, let’s get to know Krios better …
Formally known as: ULC-MCH SD-CH Gunmetal von Hollenhund VU-G SD-I TL-II UL-III LI-IX LI-II RATI RATSX CRO-I CW-SI CW-ScR2 RI UC1-II UC2-I UC3-I UC4-I UC5-I UC6-I CZ8B LC1-I
Krios is four years old, he will turn 5 on his birthday July 4th of this year, participating in NASDA, Barn Hunt, Scent Detection, Rally Obedience and Frisbee, Krios is a dominant force in all his chosen sport venues having amassed an impressive 112 HIC awards in addition to his many titles.
Originally purchased as a prospect for PSA or Ringsport, Krios’ general dislike of most humans made those sports less than ideal for him.
A human reactive dog Krios enjoys the company of about four humans and can happily do without the rest.
After a lot of work on his reactivity issues with his human partner Tony, he has gone from a barking, lunging boy to a much more neutral and functional dog, and when he’s working, he pays little attention to the humans on the course.
Working a human reactive dog is no easy task and these two make it look easy, anyone who has had the pleasure of watching this team in action is often surprised to find out that Krios has any issues at all, a testament to the bond and work ethic Tony and Krios have, they are a pleasure to watch no matter what venue they are playing in and are often on the receiving end of Judge’s choice awards and praise for their formidable achievements and teamwork.
While he may appear at first to be a big, tough dog Krios finds himself terrified of blueberries, has an affinity for his 11lb toy poodle friend and enjoys his tug toys and squeaky balls.
We love watching this team at work and can’t wait to see what they get up to in 2025!
Congratulations Krios on being named Prairie Dog Sports Dog of the Month for April 2025!
