Overview
Erik Rafale Bohemia Dewasten is a trained personal protection dog for sale — a male sable Czech working-line German Shepherd developed as a family protection dog and private estate companion at Taylor Made Working Dogs near San Diego (Ramona, California). He is trained directly by Kris Taylor — a Special Forces veteran and world-level IGP/Schutzhund coach and competitor with more than 50 IPO and IGP titles across his career.
Erik is a real working German Shepherd — the breed built to protect its handler in the most demanding environments on earth. He is a fully integrated personal protection dog developed for real-world performance inside the home, in public, during travel, and on private estates. His program covers advanced off-leash obedience, environmental stability, and controlled protection work, producing a trained German Shepherd that lives and moves with you — calm in the home, composed in public, and prepared to respond decisively when directed.
Erik has already earned his BH/VT working certification and carries an SG show rating — documented, verifiable confirmation of his temperament, trainability, and structure before he ever began advanced protection development.

Training Program
Erik Rafale Bohemia Dewasten is maintained in advanced training at Taylor Made Working Dogs under Kris Taylor. His program is structured to produce a personal protection dog that functions reliably in real-world environments — not a kennel dog and not a sport-focused presentation dog.
Advanced Obedience and Control
- Advanced off-leash obedience
- Public access-level obedience
- Home obedience and daily integration
- Long-distance recall
- Positional control under distraction — sit, down, stand
- Environmental neutrality under pressure
- Handler responsiveness across all environments
- Travel and lifestyle integration
Personal Protection and Estate Security
- Bark on command
- Bite on command
- Controlled engagement and immediate release
- Man-trailing
- Property and perimeter awareness

- Real-world environmental protection scenarios
- Clear engagement and recovery response
His program is built on the foundation of sport training — the obedience, precision, grip, and control proven in IGP and Schutzhund — and extends it into real-world application, producing a trained German Shepherd prepared for family protection, private estate security, and executive personal security.
Temperament
Erik Rafale Bohemia Dewasten’s defining characteristic is his exceptionally open, sweet social temperament. He is friendly, affectionate, and comfortable in new environments and around unfamiliar people — without unnecessary reactivity or the need for active management in public settings.
He also carries exceptional pack drive — one of the most valuable traits a working-line German Shepherd can have. In Kris Taylor’s framework, pack drive is what produces true loyalty to the handler and the competition-level obedience the breed is known for. It is why Erik stays connected, responsive, and eager to work alongside his person rather than for himself. That deep handler bond is the foundation of both his obedience and his protective instinct.
Erik actively engages with the world around him. He moves through crowds, busy environments, and unfamiliar settings with genuine confidence — not trained tolerance. His open temperament and his protection capability work together, not against each other: a temperament this open only exists on top of real nerve, and his medium drive — the target for family protection work — keeps him balanced and manageable at home while retaining the willingness to work when directed. His confidence is the foundation of his protection work, not a trade-off against it.
- Exceptionally open, sweet, and social with people
- Deep pack drive — intensely loyal and bonded to his handler
- Environmentally stable across new and unfamiliar settings
- Confident and approachable without suspicion or reactivity
- Comfortable around guests, children, and high-traffic households
- Medium drive — balanced, manageable, and ideal for family life
- Clear engagement and recovery response
- Stable under pressure in public, travel, and estate environments
- Responsive to handler direction at all times
Erik’s temperament profile reflects what Taylor Made Working Dogs values in a family protection dog: social confidence, deep loyalty, environmental stability, clear-headed decision-making, manageable energy, and the ability to integrate seamlessly into modern family life while remaining capable of meaningful protection work when needed.

Why a German Shepherd for Personal Protection?
Buyers at this level frequently consider Belgian Malinois, Dobermans, and other protection breeds. Kris Taylor’s recommendation for estate integration, family environments, and high-demand personal security applications is consistently the working-line German Shepherd — and specifically Czech and West German working lines.
The reason comes down to three things: social stability, environmental range, and bonding capacity. A working-line German Shepherd is built to function across the full spectrum of daily life — the family dinner table, the school pickup line, the private jet, the estate perimeter at 2 a.m. The Malinois is a phenomenal working dog in the right hands; it is not the right dog for most estate and family environments. The German Shepherd is.
Czech working lines add structural durability, drive manageability, and the temperament depth that allows for close bonding. West German working lines add environmental confidence and social range. Merlin’s pedigree draws from both.
For buyers seeking a personal protection dog that lives fully inside their life — not adjacent to it — the working-line German Shepherd trained to Taylor Made Working Dogs standards is the answer.
