I think you are.
Two different issues; one the dog as a watch dog, and there a dog should
bite if "pushed" by a perceived threat.
That said, I expect our dogs to be intelligent enough that hey are able to
discriminate between a judge at a dog show and a perceived threat. Dog
shows are fun outings; at least they are for my dogs.
The GSD was originally a working farm and herding dog. There was NO ROOM
for aggression between dogs. I don't think we should excuse it t-day
either. I don't. I have 5 males in the house. All but the 2 youngest have
been
used for breeding. If I see on ounce of dog aggression, believe me, they
will be in for some very "special handling". In fact, one can breed a
bitch, the bitch leaves, the dog who bred the bitch re-joins his housemates
and
they all snooze in front of the fire.
No dog aggression allowed or excused here.

After reading Dave's interview...I have a question. In it, he mentioned
that Rollins would only bite if he was pushed and that he prefered a
tougher dog. Assuming I am interpeting this correctly....I have to admit
that
I've always prefered a tougher GSD and have never really bought into the new
and improved temperaments of wagging tails and kisses for the judge.
I also recall some incidents at shows where male dogs particuarly, would
show aggressive tendancies outside the ring that would send witnesses into
a tizzy....and I'm thinking...okay these are Shepherd "people"? I've
always equated a stud dog with a breeding sstallion that requires special
handling and respect. Am I missing something here?
