Evan must be one lucky sucker, since he obviously thinks German Shepherds don't fight. They don't in the ring, or they are out of there. That is not my rule, it is AKC. Also, unless I read the standard wrong, they are to be aloof. And, yes, I am a lucky sucker. But, it has more to do with the friends around the ring, and not if my dogs fight. And, they sure don't fight at our house. I have Tedi to make sure of that.
