K9 GHOST

---

 Ghost is an exceptional working dog with a proven track record, holding his PSA 2 title, having earned Second Place in competition, and a First Place in PSA 1. His achievements reflect his remarkable skills and solid genetics, making him an ideal choice for demanding protection work.

Ghost’s character is a powerful combination of dominance and stability. While social and clear-headed in everyday life, his work mode reveals a dog of immense strength and focus. With full pushing grips and the ability to transition smoothly between drives, Ghost demonstrates a unique capacity for both aggression and control, making him a formidable protection dog. His clear-headed nature allows him to switch from high-energy performance to calm obedience in an instant.

Genetically, Ghost excels in both search/hunt and high drive protection work. His high pain tolerance and hard nature make him unyielding in the field, yet his desire to please his handler keeps him focused and teachable. While Ghost has a strong, sometimes hard-headed character, he’s highly trainable, maintaining a fine balance between independence and operability.

His father’s lineage imbues him with an edge—a manageable dominance and strong possession instincts—while his mother’s side contributes solid nerves and environmental resilience. This perfect blend of genetics ensures that Ghost remains calm, confident, and adaptable, traits that allow him to work with different handlers while maintaining his effectiveness.

Like his parents, Ghost possesses a much-coveted off switch. He’s the kind of dog that can work tirelessly all day, yet seamlessly transition into a relaxed, social companion when the job is done.

However, what distinguishes Ghost is his ability to balance his drive and work ethic with a strong bond to his handler. While his performance in the field is remarkable, Ghost's true potential is unlocked when paired with a handler who understands his needs and temperament. He thrives under leadership that is firm yet respectful, allowing him to channel his focus and energy effectively. Ghost's loyalty and commitment grow stronger with a handler he can connect with on a working level, making him not just a top-tier working dog but a reliable and trusted partner.
