since i've had a few and am feeling good, feel free to ask questions, but be prepared to get an honest answer. i will recommend that anyone that is new to ''working'' dogs, please spend the extra money and buy a ''green'' already started dog. there are so many ways to ruin a good puppy ! also...- Import_gsd

there are many ideas as to the breeds. i know that it is said that gsd's were cross bred into mali's and it took years to breed the unwanted traits back out. thank holland for saving the dutchies.- Import_gsd

good idea toebuster, to everyone else, what he is talking about is on a prong or pinch collar, or choker type collar, there is what we call a live ring, and what is called dead ring. on the pinch/prong collar you will notice 2 large rings, usually sitting 1 over the other, if you clip the lead...- Import_gsd

to ad to what bogey said about the caucasian, like many other breeds, i'm sure they didnot get good dogs to begin with. that being said i wouldn't own a gsd or other breed that acted that way. from what i see is the dogs are bred with very bad nerves, generally this is what triggers such a...- Import_gsd

as far as injuries, it can be as simple as a few puncture wounds, or a few stitches to broken bones and torn flesh. the dogs bite pressure is more than enough to break most bones in the arm, lower legs, feet, hands, facial bones and ribs. labs do bite alot statistically. most of them are from...- Import_gsd

chefcam, i cannot say about the socom dogs, as i do not train them. you can however train a dog to target a specific area. some dogs are also trained to transition bites, they may grab a leg, arm or flank at first, then re-grip another area. we have trained a dog to target the groin area...- Import_gsd

chefcam, that is what i like to call a dog with presence. like bogey said that's the guy in the bar you know will give someone a bad day. that type of dog is alot more rare than people would think. this is also the reason i'm going to europe. sure i can have a dog shipped over, and it may or...- Import_gsd

bogey, that was a great analogy. knockem, the only thing i don't understand with your post is this seemingly ''inbred'' desire for agression towards humans? the aggression has actually been bred in large part out of the working breeds. think of it this way, to the dog protection is taught as a...- Import_gsd

Bogey, like you i'm not into breed bashing. i have my favorites and stick to them. i am going to a friends, bill at texoma this spring/summer to see some mals, that he insist's make great family pets. says they are much like a gsd and can turn off the drive. now i need to see this to believe...- Import_gsd

knockemdown, again, i would love for you to meet my dog. i think this would open your mind to what a well bred gsd is. my peaceful house will stay peaceful even with my dogs. my dogs are not bred for aggression, period. every dog has aggression in it! i also do need to ''establish'' dominance...- Import_gsd

chefcam, i don't have to go to europe to get a nice dog, there are some extremely nice bred litters in the usa. the good breeders both here and in europe breed dogs that compliment each other. truly trying to ''improve the breed'', there is a difference between breeders who A breed just to make...- Import_gsd

if any of you ever get a chance to see a truly talented handler and well trained dog, like toebuster said it is truly a thing of beauty. look up vit glisnik, or Mr. mannes on youtube with his dog sid vom haus pixner. this dog has aggression on command, is completely under control at all times...- Import_gsd

toebuster sorry bout the mix up with diver knockemdown, would you take an unloaded gun to a fight? that's what an untrained dog is, at best!

pawprint, good idea, but to everyone else there is a long waiting list and those dogs are preferred to go to a home with experience. also look at the age of most of the dogs, they are older and are being retired for a reason. i'm not saying don't look into this if your interested, quite the...- Import_gsd

W54 i will elaborate. 1st of all recommending 2 puppies to anyone except an experienced trainer is RETARDED. the puppies will bond with each other and not the handler/family! anyone around dogs and training are not usually intimidated by the ''size'' of a dog. i have walked into many ''man...- Import_gsd
