Thread: Michael Ellis on the KNPV

Mike Ellis is a great communicator, and gives a fair and accurate insight into the Dutch KNPV Program. I hope to be able to finally meet up with him later this year, but I honestly think he can offer fantastic insight for people not fortunate enough to be able to spend time in Europe, as he really is just a fantastic communicator and speaker. Good Post, thanks Chris. The KNPV is a great program, capable of producing what I consider to be the very best, most practible dogs in the world. I am bias, as I have spent much time in Holland studying this program, and I am very grateful for it, but I do believe that KNPV can produce a much better all round dog than some other disciplines, and it takes a much bigger commitment from a training point of view to title a dog in KNPV. Apart from the Belgian Ring, I fail to see a better suited program in testing a real life practical dogs, in real life practical situations. The Belgian Ring produces better bites in their dogs, which I personally prefer, but of course each to their own. The ULTIMATE dog in my personal view.... is a KNPV trained dog, with a half Belgian pedigree to ensure full, and fantastic bittng!!! What a dog?!?!
