Me and Kasino instantly became an perfect match for one another. I really enjoyed taking a pup and raising him to become one the BEST K-9s walking this earth. From the day I picked Kasino up at the airport we had major goals and we achieved them all. Kasino definitely had to be a strong minded dog to withstand the physical and mental beating that comes with the hard training that’s required to become one of the GREATS in the Dog world. Together we’ve won several PSA trials, Iron Dog Competitions, and Personal Protection Competitions. I was offered $110,000.00 usd for Kasino and decided he’s earned a right to live out his years with us the family that loves him. Some dogs are just irreplaceable and we felt that Kasino was one of them. He’s definitely a Top producer as well. Kasino is also known for having Super nerves, crushing full grips, amazing drives, and second to none clear mind. Thank you for reading this short bio of my Bestfriend Kasino.
