Is that a hint? LOL :anicam:

That will be lots of fun. I think that is definately a hint. We want pics.

I think thats great! Look forward to hearing how it goes for you. I think once you check it out for yourself, you will see that it is not a bad sport. It's not meant to make dogs aggressive, it is alot of fun. I give props to anyone with an open mind who will at least go and check it out and give it a shot.

Have fun!

Oh I'm not one of the ones who thinks it's a "bad sport". I actually used to train with a schutzhund club many years ago with a previous doberman. It's just been a very long time and I've had limited experience in it....just with that one dog. We only trained in it, never competed in it. He only competed in conformation.

I don't think that most Doberman people think schutzhund is a bad sport, it is a sport that when done correctly should result in a well rounded dog. I do think that some of the people who do it are in it for all the wrong reasons.

I personally think it would be a blast to do. I don't have good club near me and just don't have the time at this point in my life. If I did, I would probably enjoy doing it.

I do think that with all the BSL, we have to be very careful about how JQP perceives it - because THEY are the ones who would get the wrong impression of it, and the breed just can't afford the bad publicity. Of course, this is all JMHO

How fun. Let us know how it goes.
