HMMMM I have a question please. I read: -------------------------------------------------- P.S. My GSD Lobo is hugged and kissed at least 20 times a day. AT LEAST! He loves his kisses and he's the biggest baby you'd ever want to meet. He even sits on my lap. He's very gentle with my other two German Shepherd's. You would never know that he is an IPO3. NEVER! If I don't kiss him frequently, he will shove his cheek against my mouth for his kisses. He also has his TDI. I would never hurt my dog Lobo and never allow him to be hurt. It's just that the temperament is very important. Seems like a GSD who cowards' is not a good temperament and I wouldn't breed one that did that. Even my young bitch is brave with the stick hits. She actually enjoys the sport! ----------------------------------------- I thought that TDI (Therapy Dog International) would NOT certify any dog that has had "bite work"?? I have a Delta Therapy Dog (Delta Pet Partners) and that was one of the first questions we were asked - Has this dog EVER had any SchH training??? Because, if so, she is not eligible for Certification as a therapy dog. Just wondering, Sarah ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
