But I can tell you without hesitation that her dogs, are some of the most well-adjusted, happy and joyous dogs around. She takes them everywhere, they are in the house, well socialized, and she loves them to pieces. All I can say is - THANKS SO MUCH KATHY!!! I know I certainly would not have two dogs of your breeding if you hadn't checked us out thoroughly! Like you said - to each his own in their choice of competition. I certainly would not attack someone who wanted to do only obedience - publicly or otherwise - for that view. More power to them - it is a LOT of work and I commend that - it is just not for me right now. Maybe I had a bad trainer when I started it with my first shepherd, and so decided I didn't like it.
