Working line GSD and Malinois Working Dogs

Obviously all individual dogs are different, but IMO the Groens and Tervs are very similar.

I didn't meet Callans sire so don't know which he took after most. Some BSD's I have met (Groen, Terv and Mal) can be wary of strangers. This is not at all Callan. He is very forward and outgoing. Very fast and intelligent. He loves working and gets on fabulously with all other dogs and people. He also likes the sound of his own voice!! To me he is perfect

Working sheepdog.... Black and white with one blue eye, from a farm in the New Forest. From what I gather, her owner had done the mating deliberately to "produce some agility dogs" But gave me enough information about the stud dog she had used to allow me to track down the sire's name and ancestry with the help of a BSD breeder.

The ones bred for working are not!

Hi Kirsty not sure if you know Farah from some of the GSD forums but she has both, her Mali is a working security dog, you could have a talk with her

If you want to watch BSD AND GSD competing together you can go and watch the BSPCA and Service Dog of the Year trial at the Prison Training College this weekend.

The date is 2 July 2011.
Address is -HM Prison Service College

Beautiful dogs. They are very much on my "watch" list.

I have the best of both worlds....a mix of the 2

Hmmm not sure whether I know of Farah or not, Pam. Will definitely keep an eye out for her in future though. Thanks.

What a shame, it is just too far for me. Would love to be able to go along and watch. If anyone is going, please take pics!

great post Smokybear. There are several mals doing flyball and they're extremely focused when racing but absolute cuddly softies out of the ring.
