Meet Fasco

We would like to introduce you to the newest member of our family. Meet Fasco Van Diesson Platz.....try teaching that to the kids.Fasco Van Diesson Platz was born in Holland 4 and a half years ago and comes from an elite line of dogs. Fasco is a Dutch speaking German Shepard that has a PH I Title with Honors in KNPV (Koninklijke Nederlandse Politiehond Vereniging). So if you don't speak Dutch, it is basically the Royal Dutch Police Dog Association. Fasco spent a few more years then normal in Holland to complete his certifications to obtain an almost perfect score of 436 out of 440. Fasco's dad was the PH I National Champion in '05 and the PH II Title National Champion in '06. Basically Fasco's dad is one of the best dogs in Holland and Bryan is extremely happy to have Fasco for a dog. Fasco has only been in the US for a month now after coming over on April 1st from Holland. He will go through some more training to refine his training to be a police dog with Bryan this summer at Adlerhorst Internal Police K-9 Academy in Riverside.

Fasco has been a welcomed addition to our crazy family. Chris loves to go out every morning and help Bryan feed him and check on him. Dani thinks he is hilarious and loves to chase him around the yard.....to bad she thinks his name is "Costco" and keeps calling him that. He does not seem to mind. Now Sierra on the other hand does not know quite what to think about this new "stud" in the family. There have been a few times Bryan has had to intervene to keep play time with the dogs PG if you know what I mean. Fasco has a little crush on Sierra.

I am sure you will hear more about Fasco and Bryan's adventures through out this summer as they continue to work together and spend time together.
