I don't know whether I was blessed,lucky or what. But in the 37 years of breeding and showing my dogs along, with the 42 yrs of judging GSDs and many other breeds,I've never had any dog ,much less GSDs show any aggressive action . Yes I had Dog fights that I had to get in and separate (two German-bred males that the kennel boy accidentally let out together,and two bitches that usually ran together ( mother -daughter team) I was bitten both times getting them separated,but I sure this happens to anyone.who has raised a number of dogs--Accidents happen, But as far as aggressive -bad temperament--None. Back when Rottweilers were still being imported from Germany,and posed problems in our AKC shows sometimes ,they were disqualified In order to be reinstated they had to be re-examined by two or more AKC judges of that breed,with the AKC Rep present. I was called many times by the AKC to be one of the judges to re-examine,and I never had a problem.Now ,of course ,the Rottweilers are couch potatoes,no more problems,even though they still look tough Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
