Turcodos van de Duvetorre was the helper's choice for best protection dog at the 2000 FMBB. Volker Riedel from the German Malinois Club said "This dog showed us perfect grips, combined with the most desirable qualities in the grips. His attitude during the attacks is uncompromising, fast and powerful. In short he is an uncompromising and dominant dog during both escape and defense work."
