Uzi (in memoriam)

[zimbris]

Uzi, care impreuna cu Ben au fost paznici f buni ani de zile, au tinut "mustele" in afara curtii pe care-au pazit-o. Secventele astea sunt filmate acum 10 ani, la scurt timp dupa ce lui Uzi i s-a repozitionat osul printr-o interventie chirurgicala f "colorata" (fusese lovit de masina). L-am scos la plimbare si innot dupa cum mi-a indicat medicul. Uzi a fost un caine f docil si f eficient in paza.. a avut si un "mentor" pe masura (Ben).
Uzi era un mascul mare, gros, spate drept, nu cu cine stie ce drive dar f bun in paza reala. Provenea de la o baza militara din Suceava, la varsta de 7 luni era deja mai inalt cu 2 degete decat Ben.
Uzi a apartinut categoriei de caini pe care eu o numesc "scoala veche". S-a stins la sfarsitul lui 2007.

This Uzi, together with Ben they have done a great job protecting the yard of o company for a good few years. These shots were taken 10 years ago (2000) shortly after Uzi was undergoing surgery (hit by car). This was recovering stuff, consisting of walks and swimming, as the vet indicated. Uzi was a very social dog but also a very attentive watch dog.. after all he had a great "mentor" (Ben).
Uzi was a large, think dog, with straight back, didn't have much drive but was very real in his protection. Came from a miltary base in Suceava and by the age of 7 months he was already bigger than Ben.
Uzi belonged to the type I call "the old school". He died at the end of 2007.

Deci Uzi (sau Uzula cum il mai alintam) in vara lui 2000

Exceptional Uzi! Imi place in al doilea clip cum te urmeaza in mare, desi era "accidentat" la picior.

Am mai scotocit prin arhiva si am gasit si filmarea asta..
Un rond de noapte cu Uzi. Cainele asta nu inchidea un ochi noaptea si isi facea treaba bine, f vigilent si galagios imediat cum trecea careva pe langa gard / poarta. De-alungul a aprox 6 ani impreuna cu Ben au facut o treaba super (filmarea e facuta cam la un an dupa 'plecarea' lui Ben); zona respectiva se afla pe soseaua de centura a Constantei unde pe atunci se umblau multi hoti de piese de masina. Pe langa paza curtii se mai efectua si  o "tura" in interior, cladirea avand ferestre care dadeau intr-o alta curte si deci prezentau puncte de acces.

Did another search in my archive and came across this one too...
Night patrol with Uzi. The dog performed well all night long, was very vigilant and quick to bark as soon as someone was passing by. Together with Ben they guarded this property for about 6 years (this video was taken about one year after Ben died); this company was located by the belt road on the city and at that time there were a lot of car parts thieves. As well as the yard the dogs had to search the indoors as the building had some windows on the opposite end which led to a different yard and therefor were building access points.



Dux i-a stiut si pe Ben si pe Uzi si va poate spune si el ce caini erau.

Dux knew both Ben and Uzi and can confirm they were good dogs.

..si un pic de exercitiu...
cum se poate si vedea in clip, Uzi avea un raport bun de instincte necesar pt un caine de paza, nu era interesat de manson.

..a little bit of bite work..
as you can see in the clip, Uzi was a good drive mix, civil and not interested in the sleeve.

Cu asa un cap, nu m-ar surprinde sa aflu ca Uzi avea sange DDR-ist. Capul din pozele de mai jos imi aduce aminte de Charly Trafalga.

With a head like that, I wouldn't be surprised to find out Uzi had DDR blood. The shots below remind me of that of Charly Trafalga.

[kangdanlin]

ati intrat in paramul amintirilor
superbe clipurile si pozele....de multe ori ma intreb de unde mai scoateti cate un As de sub maneca
de fapt, pozele cu Charly cred ca sunt de pe o caseta video dupa cum arata ...nu?

[zimbris]

Da, dar inregistrarea video se afla sub drept de copiere si nu vreau sa supar pe nimeni.
Am fost super suparat cand am aflat abia acum un an de moartea lui Uzi, cei de la firma m-au anuntat abia dupa 1 an si ceva, nici macar nu s-au gandit sa ma anunte ca nu statea prea bine cu sanatatea.. il luam la mine.. in fine, trecutul e trecut.

Uzi seems mentally very strong, even after a car accident.. He still shows high tail carriage and has that attitude i also recall in th mid 80's..Good to see you got some footage, which will bring back good memories for you in the distant future..
 Dani i will send you some pics to post of my dog Rommel, he also had the same markings and height as Uzi.. And had that similar approach when it came to guarding, Rommels mother was used in the prison system for work/breeding..
Charlie Trafalga has a SUPER head/muzzle, very hard to match..

Uzi parea sa aiba un psihic puternic, chiar si in urma unui accident.. Inca isi poarta coada sus si are acea atitudine pe care o vedeam la caini prin anii 80.. Ma bucur sa vad clipurile astea, care iti vor aduce aminte de timpuri bune, in viitor..
Dani iti voi trimite niste poze cu cainele meu Rommels, arata cam la fel ca Uzi si avea cam acelasi comportament cand era vorba de paza, mama lui Rommels a fost folosita la penitenciar atat pt lucru cat si pt crestere..
Charly Trafalga are un cap/bot super, greu de egalat..

Yes Uzi was a "calm" dog but very serious at any point he saw a threat coming. Both Uzi and Ada learned a lot from Ben through imitation. Also, although Uzi was tall thick and heavy, he could still climb up pretty decent hights.
Ben and Uzi as a team, guarded that property very well, 2 individuals ended up hospitalized (the night watch guy stepped in just in time)

What a beautiful dog!!!!!!!!!!  
I am very glad you have this video of him, Dani.   I love his color and markings, that traditional look is really starting to appeal to me, even though it was the dark Czech and DDR dogs that first got my attention (this tme around.)

Ce caine frumos!!!!!!
Ma bucur sa vad ca ai asemenea filmari. Imi place culoarea si marcajele, acest aspect traditional ma atrage din ce in ce mai mult, desi initial atentia mi-a fost captata de cel al cainilor Cehi si DDR (mai inchisi).

Uzi arata ca cg-ul din copilaria meaaa

yes.. I think somehow the more traditional black and tan GSD's will always appeal to a larger mass.. as soon as you say GSD you think of black and tan.. I think...
