Vikram
 I guess you are referring to me one letter wrong i was called away from the computer as i was typing so i did not check it before sending it,
Nothing wrong with my Grammar get your own correct before you shout off and who are you calling a Moron for what reason I read your Post and others,
My reply was okay and correct just your lack of brains in an empty head to understand it.
OH' i made a mistake you are hiding behind a Computer when you spout off, You can do that okay .
So Bugger of Jerk you are not worth the space replying to on here other Guys have told you so many times before but you are to thick for that to sink into your numb brain

Vikram, my response was to Steve's comment regarding women being "fit" enough for helperwork.  Since I just happen to be a women, and in my Schutzhund club we are ALL women except for two men, I think I am allowed to comment on why women would or wouldn't try helperwork and whether fitness has anything to do with it.  In MY experience it has nothing to do with women feeling they aren't "fit" enough or strong enough but that we just don't have much of an interest in doing it.  Most of the women in my club can run circles and backflips and walk on our hands around the guys.  For some reason, men always seem more interested in learning helperwork and that's just fine with me.  I personally do not do anything unless I can do it at a high level.  I don't have enough hours in the day to dabble in all the things I have a mild interest in and I'm just not committed to the amount of time and energy required to actually become a halfway decent training helper.

To me, sex, age, and the perceived level of physical fitness are not what is important for a good helper.  A good helper is a good helper whether it is a skinny young female or a fat old guy about to have a heart attack.

And like I said, Anne Kent has a ton of videos of herself doing helper work, and they are training dogs too not just fancy trial work.  She is well know and well respected.

When i mentioned Fitness i was not just thinking of Girls doing the Helper work, I was talking about Males as well.
It is no use thinking anyone can just put on the gear and start doing Helper work. That will never happen, although i have only ever had one go, To old now i am afraid for that work But you must be fit to stand the work which looks so easy but is certainly not Helpers on here will back me up on that i am sure,
Plus as i said a bad helper can ruin a Dog more so a young Dog learning, A good Helper can bring a Young Dog along in leaps and bounds
I know two young male Helpers over here early last year, Both failed the test and exams Physically. The Judge said they were not strong enough although they looked fit enough at the time,
However one of those Guys did a lot of Running and some Gym work to toughen himself up. He recently passed his Exams and Physically was okay he is now a certified Helper in Belgium
That is what i am talking about, But Yes' Girls can do the same but not just put on a suit and be a helper NO' NO one can do that.

There is a huge difference between being a trial helper and a training helper! Anne is no joke...she can also explain what she is doing...another great attribute. PLUS, she KNOWS German Shepherds. Anyone working with her is blessed. I've learned that dogs need to see all kinds of helpers....good and bad....just like training helpers need to see all kinds of dogs:-) The problem is when someone becomes a trial helper....they think they are a training helper....NOT!

110% correct

Definitely still male dominated, however, women I believe are becoming more and more interested. I know of one female certified helper, and our trainer has been trying to convince me to prepare for certification, but I am just not excited about getting certified. I like to help our own group when needed. :-)

ron, 

Of course, it is male dominated. My money is on Anne to kick your hiney though! :^> I don't know very many people interested in learning helper work, male or female. But, a female can certsnly do it very well.

"One or two flukes does not really prove the point"

Vikram...I do not get it.  Are they flukes because they are women?  Perhaps you need to take a look at some of the women that have opened the doors for thousands to walk through. 

Opha Mae Johnson - the first female Marine

Valentina Tereshkova - the first female in space.

I could go on and on.  The point is that are these women flukes just because they are the first to do it.

And just in case if I am wrong and they are not the first to do it...it does not matter.  Someone paved the road and that does not make em flukes. 

Vikram my wife would call you a sexist pig...and I would have to agree.
