KJ041 Webboard User Reg: 04-07-2002 Posts: 3 Loc: Offline	I just purchased a female GSD puppy with both parents having obtained Sch 3 titles. I'm looking forward to training the puppy in German Commands. The pup is from a "b" litter and the breeder is allowing me to choose the b name for the pup. I have chosen the name Blair. Now the possible problem. Is the blieb command going to confuse the dog because of it sounding like its name? Any thoughts on the issue would be appreciated. Thanks, KJ
