Dear Kathy
I am hoping this finds you and yours in good health and happy.
Batman is absolutely awesome! He spent a couple of months in Florida this winter just being a perfect doberman and we came home for the UDC National Trial where he marched right in and passed his WAE and Adult TT and went on to win his Obedience Class and High in Trial! He was outstanding in the two days of Working Dog Seminar work and makes us all very proud. He shows as Legard's Batman and everyone wants to know where I got such a phenomal doberman! You did an excellent job of breeding and picking out just the right dog for me. We are now fine tuning his work for his Schutzhund 1 which we are not rushing but working steadily. He loves to work!
Thank you again for such a wonderful dog. He might want a little sister one of these days.

Dear Kathy
Legard's Batman once again made us very proud. He passed his TT test in the Doberman Pinscher Club of America National Working Dog Trial today. The judge said he is "a very balanced dog". His only regret is that he couldn't go out there on the field and do the protection work which is his very favorite, but he needs to spend a lot of time training now for that chance.
He now has his BH, CGC, TT and will go for his Therapy Dog certification in the next couple of weeks. He is a very good working dog.

Dear Kathy
I hope this finds you and yours well and having a good fall. My incredible doberman just passed his BH today at 16 months old and he passed his Canine Good Citizen test earlier this summer. He still has time with his training schedule to be my best friend, take care of the grandchildren. get his "work" done with the horses every day, visit my 98 yr.old mother in the care center, go to the Plaza Art Fair, and on and on. We are going to the DPCA trial in Topeka, KS in a couple of weeks and do the TT there. He is working on the building blocks for his SCH 1 and he loves to work and play. I think of you thankfully often for bringing such a delightful dog into my life. Fondly,
Jan Smith
PS...his first love is protection work!
Here's Batman at work ! Fondly, Jan Smith
Batman passed his obedience class with flying leaps and bounds....literally, he scored 191 out of 200 points and 5 of the points he lost were for jumping up once in the heeling pattern and the other 4 points were for not standing still enough for the stand for exam! What a character he is. This is such a good place for socializing a doberman when we have a variety of people coming and going from "his" stable and his job is to protect.
We will go try some of the things at the UDC Nationals which is just about 30 miles from our farm in Missouri this year. Again, not for performance as much as the experience.
Will keep you posted on his progress.....he is so smart and such a good friend that sometimes it is hard to think he is a dog. But, I enjoy the Alpha role so keep him behaving.
Fondly, Janet
