Originally posted by Michael DelVecchio: BUT. If you want a POLICE dog... Then, they have to be crated at all times because of the type of training that they have... That's not true either. I know for a FACT that Stormfront's Brawnson was allowed in the house to hang out with the family, and he was a working PSD and SWAT Team entry member!
Hmm.. Then the department policy for Stormfront Brawnson is different than the state of Arizona. Any patrol dogs in the state of Arizona must be crated at home and not a part of the "family" with the run of the house...
For the most part, police dogs have to be kenneled per department policies... Am I wrong?
Stormfront Brawnson is an awesome dog, no arguments from me there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Chris, you said you're interested in sport (maybe PP). What level are you looking for? A high level dog, a club level dog, a dog to learn with (you didn't mention your experience level), a dog to just have fun with and have be an active companion, etc etc? The more info you supply us with, the better we can help. Also, where are you located (that could help some too)?
I posted in another thread with a little more detail. Basically I'm going to start sport training (I am a first time Schutzhund trainer). I'd like a dog with a lot of drive, some hardness so that my mistakes won't cause to severe of an impact (implies forgivness), but also good for the house. Because I'm a novice a dog that comes from bloodlines with high social aggression would probably not be wise for me.
I'm starting to think a hard female might be wise as well.
This may just be me, and if it is, I'm sure that others will tell me I'm off track, but...
most newer trainers want high drive hard dogs, yet would actually have some trouble with the dog should they get one like it. also, the possibilities are pretty slim that someone is going to give up a strong female (older pup or adult) to a newer person (they are too valuable as potential broods).
What I think (read: my opinion of your situation) is best is finding a pup with moderate/good drives, a good pack drive (willingness to please), that shows some good natural instincts/abilities and then learn from that young dog/pup as you teach them. Then, when you've got more experience you can handle that hard, high drive dog.
