🇺🇸 Etzel is now enjoying his early retirement 🐾💛
After careful consideration, we decided this year to send Etzel into well-deserved retirement. The testing situations were often mentally challenging for him – especially when external factors such as weather, loud loudspeakers or large crowds were added to the mix. These circumstances quickly took away his enjoyment of the work and made the exams difficult for everyone involved.
Etzel has repeatedly shown what he is capable of: when the conditions were right, he was able to deliver truly outstanding performances – as in his last qualification exam, which he mastered with an incredible 297 points! 🏆
We want to spare him the stress of future tests and instead give him a relaxed, happy (early) retirement.
Peter continues to train with him whenever possible – and we do our best to give him many beautiful, carefree moments. 💚🐶
