For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Carl Morgan. I have grown up in the family business of Breeding & Training German bred German Shepherds. We have actively imported German Shepherds from Germany to the United States since 1983, and since 1994 I have taken over the business and am solely responsible for the dogs being bred under the prefix “vom Haus Fokwulfe”
You will find that I specifically breed dogs for the “real” world. Because my background is in dogs that are used for protection, I am very big on character. In my opinion the dog with perfect structure but with soft character is nothing more then a pretty pet.
My intentions are to breed dogs that can excel in every walk of life, that is what good German Shepherds are designed to do. It is possible to have a dog with very good structure, color, to also have great character. Although that makes the job of breeding much tougher, we have proven that this is very possible, and it is not necessary just to breed for the show ring, OR the training field, which is common practice today. Again it is our philosophy that it is important to breed for both and more.
I have several dogs, and have anywhere from 2 to 5 litters a year. I have no intentions of having any more litters then that ever. It would be impossible for me to maintain this level of quality by trying to “mass produce” the dogs I have chosen for my breeding program.
Also my dogs have proved themselves in many different arena’s both in North America & Europe. It is a very accurate statement to say that this is the home of some of the highest quality German Shepherds that exist anywhere in the world. But please don’t take my word for it, If you have the opportunity please come and see them for yourself, because the only way to see the temperament, structure, pigment, intelligence, etc. is first hand.

How having your dog properly trained for obedience can affect your life.
I find that the most important aspect of owning and training a dog is recall—your dog returns when called. So many times I have met with people who tell me that this is their number one concern. It is difficult on both the dog and the owner if the dog must be constantly confined because the owner has no confidence that the dog will return when called. I hate to imagine the stress (and trauma) caused by a dog running towards the street that will not come back when called. In addition to returning when called, your dog should sit, lie down, stay, and walk with you naturally, without any coaxing or fighting. I can’t tell you how many times people have told me, “When I have guests over my dog will not leave them alone so I have to put the dog away,” or how many times I have seen an owner and a dog on the street, but cannot tell who is walking whom. If you can relate to any of the above problems, I can assure you are not alone. It is also safe to say that there is room for improvement in your current relationship with your dog. Having a dog that you can trust to behave is a dog that is free of restrictions and won’t cause you unnecessary stress, or itself undo harm. It is at this time that the dog becomes a true member of the family, because the fully trained dog does not need constant commands; he is his own being and is the perfect companion. |

| Training your dog for personal protection:
What is most important in guard training is the understanding that not every dog can be trained for protection work. The dog must have a very stable and sound character. The dog must also have the ability to distinguish between threat and non-threat. You cannot train a dog to have these qualities; it comes from the breeding of the dog.
When training a dog for protection, you enhance and control the dog’s natural instincts to protect. You also enhance the relationship bond between the dog and its family.
There are three different levels of training for a guard-dog. The Level I dog is a dog that is very social and friendly to strangers; your typical good-natured housedog. This is a dog that no one will expect is guard trained unless you fall victim to an attack. The instant your safety is compromised, a simple command will instruct your dog to restrain the attacker with a “bite and hold” technique. When commanded, the dog would release.
The Level II dog is trained in a similar manner to the Level 1 dog, but taking protection up a notch. The delineation between Level I and Level II is the “sit and watch” command. After the dog stops the attacker, you would then command the attacker to stand motionless. Once the attacker is still, you would release the dog from the “bite and hold” and tell the dog to “sit and watch”. At this time you may search the attacker for weapons and call for help. If the attacker moves one muscle the dog will resume the “bite and hold.”
The Level III dog is trained to do everything the Level II dog does as well as transport the attacker anywhere you wish to go. The Level III guard-dog is not your typical housedog; it is a working dog. Although it can be integrated into a family, it is not a social dog; its main purpose is protection, not a pet.
Fokwulfe Kennels can provide you with a dog—or work with your existing dog—to meet your specific needs
