    A couple of points, In late 19th century Germany, the dogs that worked sheep were considered German shepherding/sheepherding dogs. They were not a breed, but a type. They were of like build, and appearance. Up until 1899 there was no German Shepherd Dog breed. As was earlier stated, Rittmeister...

    That's not a fur saver, the black GSD above, that I pointed out is wearing a prong collar. Not the same.

    PKRobbins,the two of them look great together, best of luck. If I may, it might be a good idea to not clip the leash on the live ring of the prong collar when he's dragging the leash around. It can get caught on something and give him a painful, unwarranted correction. A flat collar would be a...

    Many make the misconception of thinking PPD's need to be vicious, crazy dogs that are hard to control, and destroy anything in front of them. But that's not the case, someone told me years ago: We are not training them to bite, they know how to bite, we are training/teaching them when not to...

    It's best to ask a question with the intention to learn, on a subject you are unfamiliar with. Pushing your opinion as fact is foolish at best.

    I don't doubt for a second that they make excellent family dogs. The three top breeds for PPD already mentioned, are all herding dogs, the RR belongs to the hound group. Completely different set of drives, temperament, and work ethic. You keep throwing nonsense, like weight and size is...

    For the most part I agree with Mr Frawley. Most police dogs can be cross trained to do Schutzhund (a sport), most Schutzhund dogs cannot do real police dog work. A Sch dog may or may not protect you, just like a pet, you just never know till tested. I'm not a big believer in turn key dogs...
