Janosch was imported from Germany for use as a personal protection dog.  He was purchased by our kennel as a three year old and has since become a beloved family member.  A well-built, good-sized dog, he is a strong-boned, dominant alpha male with an extreme, magnificent and substantial head type, displaying an alert, attentive expression.  He imparts an overall impression of firmness and strength.  Janosch exhibits a solid temperament with sound nerves and great capacity to handle stress.  Janosch readily  demonstrates  pronounced courage, hardness and fighting drive for serious guarding in the protection work.  He is an intensely  loyal dog with a high willingness to please.  Easy to motivate and has  high  play-drive qualities.  Always shows a high level of self-confidence and
is steady and sure in all situations. 
Janosch has nerves of steel and is pronounced in his protection abilities; 
he will most definitely work in a "real" situation.
