"Yanko
v. Unserhund, TC, HIC"
Yanko vom Unserhund....better known as "Tag" is the second *purchased* GSD out of the five that I have owned. He has a very sweet disposition. We wanted a GSD with a friendly, but protective temperament, to grow up with our child (and now children). Out of two litters at Von Unserhund, he struck me instantly when I saw him. I had been looking at only the females when I asked to see the males. With buying a female in mind, I was smitten with this little boy pup who sat surrounded by his brothers and looked straight up into my eyes. We performed some puppy tests on him and his siblings. He did wonderfully...never shying away from sudden, loud noises or showing too much dominance. The ultimate test for us was taking the puppies one by one out into a field adjacent to the kennels. Tag followed my family gleefully while some of the other puppies headed for home. What ever my then toddling daughter was investigating, Tag was right there, too. Thus, his call name became "Tag A Long".
"Tag" at five months old. Tag has proven himself to be a very loving dog to my children and very willing to please. He meets my desires in temperament as a family dog. Easy to train, we have passed beginning obedience, visited some sheep, and has passed a GSDCA temperament test with flying colors. Tag passed his Herding Instinct Capability test and had great fun herding the sheep. He did quite well, and I was rather impressed though I did not know what *I* was doing! Tag's favorite past time is bathing the kids in wet kisses (which has also earned him the nickname: "The Kissing Bandit") or staring for HOURS at the cat. Qai keeps Tag pretty busy, too. They love to play great games of "tag" around the yard and joust with their toys.
