    Thanks Bijou - that is really interesting. I had no idea that DS came in three coat types. Not as keen on the longhair as the smooth. Do you have any pics of a wirehaired?

    Interesting how different people jump to different conclusions. I took the "Do Not Pet" collar to mean don't pet whilst working :017:

    She is a real beauty, Jim. Is she a sport dog or is she a drug detection dog? Or both?

    That's a big departure :)

    Met Ian and the lovely Pepper (Mali) at college and had some interesting internet chats in the wee small hours.

    He'd often leave the discussions for a while to let his dogs out (middle of winter) in just a dressing gown and wellies (or so he said). Personally, I think he was just intimidated by the females he was chatting to :005:

    I Dont agree that any one should be breeding a D/H Litter to run about a show ring with as they are 100% working dogs not show dogs .

    HH won't be running around the show ring anytime soon as they are not KC recognised. ;)

    ..but they are FCI recognised ( I've seen them judged at CAC level in France )

    I've owned and bred BSD for over 25 years - dogs I've bred have worked as SAR dogs and competed in Agility and Obedience and I'm now working my 3rd generation of therapy dogs trained to work with autistic kids -My dogs are also succesful show dogs and I am an A list judge ( eligible to give CC's ) - I'm on the commitee of the BSDA of GB and am the Rescue co-ordinator for our breed club -and am part of the clubs health commitee and have worked with Jeff Sampson the KC geneticist on developing the intervariety proviso within my breed...

    Of course all this is with my BSD not the Dutch Shepherd but as they originated as one breed I think my experience is relevant -unless you count only activities which involve hanging off a padded sleeve as 'work' ;-)

    KC are just a lot of clowns that go after ur money

    you side . I am an A list judge ( eligible to give CC's

    I said ...I was a specialists in the clearance of landmines with a k9 unit for a few yrs.

    you said I think my experience is relevant

    me i think u are just in to chasing a wee cc or two you dont have much experience in dogs you think you have would be good if you put some videos up or photos ? just going by what you have put up i think you have the potential to cause working dogs to get a bad name but thats down to your lack of experience out side of the show ring Remember dogs were used during World War I to locate wounded Give any show ring enough time, and it will ruin any breed of working dog.
    The number of working dogs ruined by the show ring grows every year a man ones said this

    Lesson One in the world of dogs is that if you put anything above breeding for utility, you will start to lose working abilities.

    "Breeding animals for the shows is a very peculiar business, because of the fact that it is wholly competitive. Whereas the breeder of utility sheep or utility pigs produces something that has a certain market value, which is not changed very much even if ten of his neighbors start in with him to raise the same sort of sheep or hogs, breeding animals for the shows can only pay the man who succeeds in producing such stock as is pronounced by the judges of the moment to be the most beautiful and the most fashionable."


    The "judge of the moment" in a show ring may know very little about real working dogs .

    I think that you have the mind set of red rosette at a dog show and a bit of paper makes the dog a better dog .
