Bono is a Slovakian import and an amazing powerhouse of a male. He is extreme but is also clear headed and has the ability to settle when not working. Bono is also an exceptional slow, methodical, precise tracking dog receiving 97 points in his IPO1 track. Bono is a dog I have watched train over a couple of years, and I simply think he is a good match for Khaleesi in pedigree and being the type of dog he is. His IPO2 scores are 99-90-96 285 pronounced.
