hi all update on the litter as i got to chatting with so many on this thread. bad news i walked away from the deal. seemed a bit of a custody battle emerged with the litter owners - i won't be mentioning any names/places/details etc. it got too complicated for me so i'm out of the market. might be for the best right now. i will give it another shot in 18 months time and gain the skills all the while. dog industry people are quite a bunch to deal with.

I am sorry to hear that, I was looking forward to living vicariously through your posts about your DS. I wish I could have one, but my finances, skills, etc aren't what they should be. I thought it would be fun to hear how you all fared together.
Maybe it was meant to be, though. Your (other) perfect dog is out there waiting for you.
Say 'hi' to the boar dog for me. I would still love to see pics of her when you get the chance.
take care and keep in touch!
hi Lisa thanks. i have to assume it's for the best. unless your maxed out with dogs "finances, skills" etc can all be planned around - the only thing that should stop you is 1. training time you have available and 2. your facilities, unless of course you already have max dogs to handle - see point 1 above. i tried converting images to code with no luck, didn't try photobucket though - too dumb, too lazy, too busy, too don't want to suscribe to yet another internet spam generator. i guess a simple attachment is not an option on this board.
hi all, training question. took my mutt for a first time session with an IPO helper, she went straight into drive and had a good time fight with rag, it was all play mode. when the helper ran the dog would not bite the rag like an escape motion but instead kept running/circling and blocking the helpers motion from the front. the dog was herding/bailing the helper. has anyone else had a dog with strong herding/hunt instincts that has a training solution in the context of bite sports ie escape type scenario motion. i am sure somewhere deep down GSD's still have a herding instinct so this problem must have come up before.

Unfortunatly, Will is right. My herding dogs don't do that, and they still herd. (does that make any sense?) The only one I have that will sometimes do that is my nervy BC with health issues. When she doesn't feel well, she circles (and nips) people instead of taking a bite. (She has AIHA, we let her 'play' because I want her short life to be fun).
