Didn't the GSDCA pretty much steal the TC from the TT folks? Now it isn't good enough? Doesn't make sense to me. I have seen TC evaluators that I didn't think had a clue as to what they were doing. I think the CGC is probably a better test than both of the others. There is no way to teach to that test! Maybe all clubs should have there own CGC evaluator.

The people doing the TT tests (at least in the ones I have seen) have not been sufficiently knowledgable to properly evaluate the German Shepherd temperament. I would not want to see the TT accepted in place of a TC. That being said, I do agree that there are not enough TC tests. There seems to be a resistence to training and approving additional testors by the Parent Club. While it is not rocket science, it does need to have someone who has a good knowledge of what a correct German Shepherd temperament is. Again, my personal opinion.
