Gene recognized the similarities of the Schutzhund dogs and police K-9's if the dogs were trained correctly. He began importing dogs from Germany from his good friend, Reinhard Lindner, who was one of the instructors at the Custom Dog School in Germany. He learned more about dog behavior, judging the dogs character and how to train the dogs for sport and police dogs from Reinhard than anyone else. That holds true to this day.

Continuing to compete in Schutzhund, Gene made the U.S.A. World Team several times, also winning the 1982 North American Championship, the 1983 Schutzhund III Tournament and the 1984 & 1991 FH Championship & the 1990 World Qualifier. One of the highlights in his competition was finishing first in the International World Championship in Tengen, West Germany in 1992, competing against approximately 400 dogs from all over the world.

He retired from competition in 1992 but continues to train people from throughout the United States. His "students" have competed and won National competitions as well as being World Team competitors themselves.
