CH Nier's Oliver Travels V Hatten RN

There's a story behind this guy but I won't elaborate here. He's a lot of dog in his compact frame. Many competitors are over sized and I worried about his height since he's right in the middle of the breed standard. Judges didn't overlook him though, by any means. Correct coat, gorgeous head and excellent top line. My husband claims Oliver is "his" but he will always have my heart.

Update:
Well known trainer Ray Modler is working towards obedience competition with Oliver. He feels that Oliver is capable of a lot more and we eagerly await the outcome.

New Update: Oliver earned his RN title and will now undertake a man trailing/tracking 5 day seminar with Bob next month. We are hopeful they will be certified and become useful for search and rescue missions.

The following video shows Olivers powerful body in motion. He doesn't slow down enough to really get a feel for his movement but there are a few moments that exemplify his powerful physique.

Tapestry of Oliver done by talented Ray Modler. This was a sample tapestry which he repeated on the back of an awesome coat for us.
