Diane was right, one of my Sel dogs (Don Quixote)?was tough as nails, on the sleeve first time he saw it, while being hit with a stick.? No doubt he could have done the work.? A second dog I bred did get a SchH I.? However, I wonder what percentage of our dogs could actually do the very demanding work involved in SchH 3 work.? Not all of the german dogs make it and they are bred and raised for generations to accomplish this most difficult task.? Anyway, I do admire what they do and I admire what we do and may we all be able to use the best of both worlds.
