In the US there are two Seiger Shows where a gun shot anb a courage test are
required before a VA (select) can be given a dog. This is a requirement in
most countries where GSD's are shown, not just in Germany. This is done at
the show so everyone can see for themselves, as these dogs are going to be
the backbone of breeding programs.
Why not show the fancy that attend the National our top dogs temperments?
Anyone who watches the dogs at the national can see temperament.
We don't need to shoot off a gun. Besides, anyone who wants to can gun train
a dog. Just because they do it at the Seiger Show does not make it better.
Any good judge can judge temperament by knowing the breed, looking at the
dogs, and approaching them. It doesn't take a gun to tell us what dog is
sound.
Besides, unless you use a shotgun at full choke, what do we really know
about the dog's reaction?
