I am returning to the dog world after seventeen years of raising and training children. Wow, things really look different. I do not recognize the new working bloodlines of the germen shepherd dogs. I would appreciate any knowledgeable input.
Being a little more specific might get you a few more responses <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I have no idea what I would even begin to reply to that post.
Since you have been gone so long, Ringsport is now the only sport dogs are involved in. Unfortunately finding a GSD to do this is a bit harder. We have a Mod Van Camp, who is a huge fan of Ring, and of Belgian Malinois, a breed far superior to the GSD. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> VC, care to enlighten our new person with ring knowledge, as well as informing her of your passion; the Belgian Malinois??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I am sure someone is going to be stepping in the ring soon, just not sure it will be VC and a malinois.... ding, ding, ding!!! Let's get it on! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
What I'd do if I were you is do some research, go see some dogsports, find people involved with the training, then find a good breeder or import a titled dog.
Well, it has taken me a few days to digest all the “useless” information that my inquiry generated. However, I am thankful that an intelligent individual decided to email me some very useful information on the working bloodlines of the German Shepherd Dog. One thing that I have noticed that has not changed in the dog world is that everyone is a master and a legend in his or her own mind. Finally, from my experience Ring Sport is for all the “trainers” who could not cut the high performance standards of Schutzhund.

Wow----I am really happy I didn't respond at all! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

<Yawn> Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I am a fan of Schutzhund but you have been out of it for quite awhile if you think you need "high performance standards" to compete in it. This is the sport that recently dumbed down even the BH to not include gunshots. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
