If this dog is the same we are looking at, he is only 2 yrs old, not 4. He
was born in Dec of 2002. This can also explain his lack of depth of chest and
body, which he could acquire at about 4 yrs old. I have a Natz Steigerhof son
and, boy, he was pretty scary at 3, when I got him. I can understand a lot
of reason for someone wondering about him for sale as I , too, would probably
not consider him myself. At age 2, he could very well not fit the age bracket
for further titles. Now, at age 2 he can begin to "qualify" to compete for
higher levels of his titles. This came about quite a few yrs ago(about 8-10)
when the thought was not to "burn out" a dog through rigorous training during
developmental stages of mind and body. He was qualified, in age, to receive a
Level 1(IPOor SchH) under that age of 2 but not before 15 months.
So, you could be very right when you say those titles of SG were probably
done under that age of 24 months. What types of shows, is another
matter--local,
regional, world, etc. Since he JUST turned 2, he probably hasn't ben shown in
an adult class yet.
