Kobe is now set be the next ultimate protection dog, and will complete owner Marlon Grennan’s training school alongside his seven siblings.

Earlier in the year, 12-stone Hulk fathered eight puppies, and if they all finish Marlon’s training course to become elite protection dogs, they could collectively command a whopping £320,000.

Marlon, 28, is currently training the next big star of Dark Dynasty K9s with eight-month-old puppy Kobe.

He said: “My reputation is built on how I breed and train my dogs. I’m looking for the next Hulk - the star of the future. And this dog is the star of the future.

“Hulk is the most famous dog that I have but I am always looking for the next big thing so I’ve got to keep marching forward and I think we have something here.

“Kobe is a wonderful dog, his father is the Hulk, he’s got great energy, great balance.”

He added: “I can definitely see Kobe being a star of the future; you can’t dismiss qualities like that. He has what it takes.

“I know when I see a dog that’s going to do it - and he’s going to do it."

At the start of Kobe’s training the powerful pup was reluctant to bite or tug, leading owner Marlon to push his training further with the eight-month-old being taught to attack and release on command.

He was also taught to vault and assault would-be assailants in and on cars.

After several months of training Kobe has shown much more promise to becoming the next face of Dark Dynasty K9s - a business that supplies protection dogs to high-profile celebrities, billionaires and wealthy professionals - as well as law enforcement around the world.

Marlon added: “To me Kobe is absolutely priceless, I have no intentions of selling him, I absolutely want to make him the superstar that I know he can be.

“But if I wanted to turn around and sell him tomorrow, I have already been offered $40,000 multiple times for him untrained based upon who he is and where he comes from.

“Kobe as a fully-trained dog, I would easily get $100,000 (£81,869).”
