I agree. I watched it, and was amazed at how controlled the dogs were. Also,
it is interesting that the German shepherd to me was the least frightening. I
think that might just be me.
The dogs hit hard, and held on. Clearly they weren't attacking to cause harm,
but the sound of the one girl on the ground whimpering was a bit hard to
take.
Our breed has usefulness in many arenas. I do not much care to see them
trained to attack but that is just my opinion. I am sure lots of others do not
like to see them run around in a circle for competition. What was demonstrated
on
this show was an aspect of dog training that exists.
Actually, now I suspect the cost of all blacks may go up.
I wanted to go for it myself, and then hug the dogs after the attacks. I
probably would not be a good contestant. Did everyone notice the mastiff laying
down and looking sweet?
Besides, do people in that area of the country all look that good?
