Hi everyone I don't post very often but I read everyday.Well I just got a 5-6 month old sable male from a rescue.Well I have had him only for 2 weeks and he is GREAT <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ..My schutzhund trainer said he is going to do good in SchH with alittle work.He said he is Very confident,he will walk on ANYTHING,Not scared of any livestock barks and charges at them.Has good ball and play drives,and will chase ANYTHING that moves.He also barks up a storm when he sees other dogs working and won't shutup..He is on the burlap rag for now and when he bites it he shakes it like he is trying to kill it..Is that a good thing?My trainer said wait a month or so so he can get settled in and bonded before doing anything really..I was curious as to if I can send a picture of him to someone and they could possibly see if he is from working lines?He has a straight back and his agulation is not extreme like most show line dogs are so was just curious.Is picture posting allowed on this board?Please let me know
thanks
Summer

Photo posts are not allowed. The only exception to that rule is in the memorial section.

Does the dog have a tattoo? I would be checking ears first thing.

If you want to post a link to a photo, that is ok. But no photo insertions in posts please.

All in all, it really doesn't matter what he 'is' lines wise if he has the abilities and drives.

I don't think pictures are allowed to go thru on this board, but the fact that he's sable and shows decent drives makes it more likely that he's got working blood in his background. The shaking of the rag isn't desirable in the sport world because dogs that shake or thrash inevitably end up shaking themselves off a full grip; it will end up shallower when he's finished shaking, particularly when he is on a hard sleeve. The goal for full points is full and CALM. Talk to your trainer and make sure they are paying attention to that right from the start, as it is a habit which can be a pain to break if they are rewarded for it thru the early work.

Hi, No he has NO Microchip or a tattoo..I will make him a page so everyone who would like to see can see him..Thanks for the help.

Kane is lovely. How lucky he is to have ended up with you, Where did he come from? I am sure you will be posting about his progress and his challenges. I will be eager to hear all about him.

What a lovely looking dog you have, but I bet he has a heart bigger than he is. I know that you will have many years of happiness with your boy.

God Bless you for the rescue.
