People that saw Cliff for the first time were awed by his power. He had a special, definite presence about him. As one of the judges at a Police Dog certification trial remarked, "Now THAT is a Police Dog!" His ability as a working dog made him truly special.

When it comes to drive, Cliff followed the footsteps of his father, Adonis, and half brother, Areck. When Cliff was young, if given the freedom to do so, his obsession to find his toy would turn into hours of relentless searching of the house for it. A friend in Germany who has won the German Malinois Championship multiple times,  said "Cliff has more drive than any dog I've ever seen."
 
George and Cliff achieved their SchH1 and SchH2 in back to back trials, with a "V" rated score of 286 for their SchH2. The team also earned their FH1.  Unfortunately, Cliff broke a canine tooth which would have affected his score in high level competition. Too talented and high drive a dog to sit around the house without a "job", Cliff was leased to the LaCrosse County Sheriff's Department, and with Cliff's help, a new K9 program was established. During his career as a Deputy with the La Crosse County Sheriff Department, Cliff enjoyed many successful drug arrests, suspect tracks and suspect apprehensions. He then retired to duties as best buddy and home companion.

Cliff's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have enjoyed success in many areas, including police work, agility and schutzhund, as well as beloved family companions.
