    Thank you so much for letting us know about this. A friend and I attended this event tonight, and it was really neat. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Please let us know if they do this again. Everyone should see this. Beautiful animals, and very professional looking handlers. Loved it.

    Amazingly smart dogs. Some of them were taught commands in another language and then have to adjust to English.

    These are the most beautiful and amazing dogs. I have seen one of these dogs work and they know their jobs, but don’t touch their partners . They protect will them with all they have. Love these dogs.

    If you have never seen these dogs work, you should go see them. They are really amazing and beautifully behaved.
