Kevin Guthrie Webboard User Reg: 02-17-2006 Posts: 44 Loc: Offline	I have a question dealing with dobermans being protection dogs. Is protection bred into certain lines or do you teach the dog through training. I remember Ed saying something about schutzhund being bred out of the dobermans from Germany. Is protection the same way? The reason I ask is because there are breeders that claim their eight week old puppies for sale are protection dogs.

I'd be reluctant to go on a, "oh ya he's got it," from a breeder without a well known reputation. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Does the video on raising a working puppy cover this?
