And a friend of mine in the first FR club I joined had one he'd titled in Schutzhund. They are interesting dogs to work, so big and physically powerful it's hard to hold them back when they want to go. And it's very easy to underestimate how fast they can move, since their stride is so big you don't realize just how much ground they are covering. This was 15-20 years ago though, I don't know if anyone is still working them anymore. Kadi Thingvall http://www.dantero.com
