Bulldogman 55 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I wouldn't hold much faith in their breeding program, and what of those that don't make the grade? I still think they need to do much more to get the breed back on it's feet as a whole. We have a local schutzhund club and it is amazing to watch. They take all breeds too which I liked. Rotties, American bulls, some staffies, but not a single Shepherd. i dont know what happens to those that dont work out Raiye, as i said the working lines are a total distinct thing, no work is needed, just same with any other breed, use the best stock, ensure they are free and tested for heridatary defects and entered correctly, so the breed as a whole is f****d, just keep the working stuff just that....working.........And i know a few folk in schutzhund and the successfull dogs in the UK scene are and have been predominantly shepherds.......Trained all the above breeds, we trained a couple of staffies to run up the leg to get the sleeve A good rottie is rarer than a good shepherd but i like them, American bulldogs, wouldnt have one given tbh, although im sure there will be some good ones........ Why so down on the AB, granted they take a lot longer to mature but Churchills in the UK and Chestnuts in GDR seems to do ok at sportwork? Or is it on the grounds that a good mali or gsd is easier to find and a better prospect? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
