Quinn was a confident puppy, who has grown into a confident adult.  Heather Arlinghaus did a wonderful job of providing plenty of stimulation and environmental challenges to her puppies and also kept them to 10 weeks of age, something I have emulated in my own program.  I had not owned a malinois before meeting Heather, and really hadn't considered it, but after watching her compete with her dog and learning about her upcoming litter, something compelled me to reserve a puppy. What a twist of fate!

His litter sister, Apachi, was the dam to the "D" and "F" litters of Loup Noir, and earned her SchH3, FH, FR1, CDX.  Another sister, Anja,IPO3, has been used in the ot Vitosha breeding program. Ivan wrote on his web site that the combination of her and Kaden ot Vitosha produced some of their best puppies, with solid grips, social and stable environmentally and crazy toy drive.

I love working with Quinn.  He is a good traveler, a social dog and loves his work.  He has a foundation in working legs and an awesome, full grip on the suit. He can be a belly-scratching cuddler one minute, and jump up straight away and go to work the next.

Quinn has not been bred.  I had hoped to breed him to my Loups du Soleil female, Jinx, but that was not to be.  He is available to select females.
