No offense taken. I ask for opinions and I am thankfull that I recieved so many. I think we will have lots more fun together.
Me and my pup that is. She shows way more drive and solid nerve
then my white shepherd and I have worked him for many years.
All fun for him of course.
Thanks

Ellex ( the example of the working line dog that Trent showed is the 2005 BSP winner & finished 14 th @ this years BSP) is my new pups father. To say that this dog throws very hard, tuff dogs is an understatement. My 4 month old pup (17 wks) is a real piece of work. He is hard, dominant, hard headed, independent, opinionated, VERY vocal with a temper & an attitude. He is realy giving me a run for my money. He is out of a West German Belgium imported female that loads on the field like a male. He is also cute as all get out. GEEEZZZEEE I must be crazy !!!
Anne, no pics of your pup?
As long as you have a plan of action for your pup on what it is that you want to do, you will achieve it.I see so many people that wait too long to get started, and miss the crucial time for teaching the start of many exercise rather it's tracking or bite work or retrieve. We have a very nice lady that has come to our club ,her dog is showline and is 18 months,never has doen much with her dog other than take it to an obedience class, she now wants to start Schutzhund and her dog is all over the place.She watched other dogs that are around the age of hers and she has decided to track only and it's too bad had she came to us long ago we could have given her some homework to do with her dog to get things going but now, it's a bit too late, and too much work for her. So I always tell people that might want to do a sport with their dog , find out what it is that you will need to do with your pup to get there later on.Retrieve exercise is hard to teach once the dog is older and has never been taught to retrieve a toy or anything and then you want him to jump over a hurdle and bring you a dumbell?
Plan ahead it helps.

Trent....those pics are not of MY dogs. I have a Black & Tan just turned 3 yr old Leerburg bitch(that I have had since 9 wks) & the sable Ellex pup. If I ever get the chance to put some pics into photobucket...I will post a linc.
Geez Howard, I dunno. Nice looking dog... too nice to be A.S...that's a tough call. Deep pigment, too. Really nice head profile shot, too. Structure of the head is really good-not that skinny w/rabbit ears look that you see on so many American dogs. It's anybody's guess, but I would hazard a workingish guess;-). But whaddo I know? All I know is I think he's quite handsome and didn't set off my "OMG, I can't believe they're calling that crippled hockwalking jackrabbit a GSD" radar.
An AKC ped could mean lots of things too...I bet thousands of dogs on this board have AKC peds. Are you ever going to get it?
Your dog looks working line and maybe a little show line, just a wild guess on a friday .We have an exact same looking dog in our club that is a mix of line.Hey has long as it does the work you expect out of him and he is what you wanted.
Great looking dog howard..
