It's so fun to actually watch GSD's at work...sometime we forget that it is a working breed and not just show dogs.. Back to it's origin...it's purpose..herding. Probably one of the most beautiful breed to watch gathering sheep..That's what everybody tells me when I work my dogs..After seeing a couple of border collies and aussies and you bring out a GSD..people just go WOW..look at that dog floating around the flock! My instrustor who is selled to border collies now want a GSD as her futur dog..Now that is a compliment!! A very good luck to all the participant...i wish I could be there but maybe next year...
