30 years ago I trained with a Schutzhund group that included the San Jose Police K-9 officers! The overwhelming majority detested the so called American show German sHepherd Dog! Their attitude didn't bother me ( I march to the tune of my own drummer) my goal back then was to have a SchIII and an AKC champion in the same dog!
