I don't know if Schutzhund responses should would be right for the average dog
going through the temperament test.
I ran a dog through one in July and she passed with flying colors, but whereas
she might have gone after the aggressive stranger on my property, in a dark
alley or as he approached my car, she looked at him, stood her ground, watched
intently and did nothing else. This was how almost all the dogs responded -
stable and watchful, but not foolish.
I would definately fault the tester in the case of the dogs at the National -
although we still want them to be in character of the breed, they still need to
exist in this society and I would rather my dog watched a stranger than went
after everyone who was vaguely different.
