This link takes you to a page about why GSD's are used as Police dogs. It's interesting that the Breed qualities they stress make it sound as if our Breed is meant for Schutzhund only. Also, the link at the bottom of the page makes it sound as if the GSD is the Working Group, rather than Herding. We need to do more in the way of educating the public, IMHO. http://www.top-greetings.com/A.py?R=20050210,1N36 Steve ===== Visit Two Feathers German Shepherds online at http://www.wmj1944.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
