Originally posted by Richard Cannon: One thing I have noticed in the "off" breeds, is that there tends to be a higher percentage of workable candidates than is seen in the general population of the more popular working breeds. For REAL??? When I think of Dobermans, Rottweilers, Bouviers, and Giant Schnauzers, the last thing I expect to see is any kind of working ability. Seems like you can weed thru 100 Dobes and Rotts before you find one worth working. I only see a high percentage of working candidates in the mals.

Exactly the breeds I am takling about where the qualities required have been intentionaly bred out. The breeds I am talking about are breeds like the Ovcharkas from Russia, BRT (though it is fading fast),some of the "catch" breeds, and some of the rarer herding breeds. These breeds have no popularity and so they are not having the base chacter of the breed changed to meet the demands for a general pet or show market. So even if it isn't used, the base capabilities the breeds have are still retained.
