Let me tell you about my experience a few years ago. I took my Am. BOF Can. Sel. BIF FVX BIM Ch. Cassie - a sable bitch to a training session. All German dogs - the people putting it on are friends and the other folks were stunned to see her and commented on the American bitch. They were all INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED and loved my girls drive and instincts. No training and she was amazing!!! They were all encouraged to me to come back - especially with my girl. My friends were so impressed they asked if they could use their male with her. I just found out he is now the BREED WARDEN! This bitch is a couch potato and the easiest bitch to live with in my house and on my bed - and the Breed Warden wanted her<LOL>. Oh and she herds too. I wish I would have had the time and the money to compete at it all with her - she is one special girl!
