This person is competitive and an experienced GSD trainer and likes to kick Golden and BC butt in the obedience ring. This person wants the American type GSD. I would show them the entire litter, as I feel every German shepherd can do performance, and it just takes more training or a better trainer on some. This breed has the talent and brains to follow proper training.
