Sportism - Page 30

"Prey defense and civility are not the discussion I am missing what the drive of the dog has to do with anything."

Are you serious, or are you kidding me?

As far as I know the "discussion" is about "sportism" and "permanent default" - I tried to explain that in case you train accordingly when switching from "sport" to "real work", and you do have a dog with the necessary traits, there will be no problems - the "proof" are thousands of police dogs worlwide doing their job, most of them raised and trained in sport homes.

To tell people that as a result of former sport training all of these dogs have "permanent default" of whatever is not true.

Some facts / observations:

1, Alpine K9 are a respected working training kennel, and have a lot of respect within that fraternity.

2, Susie - opinions are like belly buttons, every one has one, and knowing you can not back up anything you say with ANY credible proof of your own civil training - best to give it a rest. Oh and let me clarify - a well trained and well bred dog will protect for real in any environment, and will also be a pleasure off lead around people in general and other dogs. (I include both sport and non sport foundation dogs)

3, GSDFan - unlike Susie has shown some excellent training and capable dogs.
(The operative word Susie - being Shown)

Though I acknowledge a lot of what is being argued is because Hans is thinking out the box - I am sure most of us will agree, including Hans - there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Key board warriors - here is a thought, rather than hammering away at your keyboard, why not simply show us your own pride and joy - doing the business re focusing on the man AND not the equipment?(Open to all disciplines, formal and informal, titled and untitled)

Any comments on my above post?

It would help if you read my post before commenting on it, I can just shoot blank if that's better...



 

Huh? Gee's post?

GSDFan - nowt ambiguous, you have shown excellent training, and cracking dogs.

@gee

My last post was to gigante wanting me to comment on the last post.

I got your post gee, thanks and i agree theres more than one way to skin a cat.

Sorry we posted at the same time. My earlier post is what I was referring to. Its just the word permanent I think people get hung up. 

Gee, I really feel sorry that I don´t have any personal videos, and that I am not able to take videos for you, because my last dog died one year ago.
I tended to train, not to take videos, nothing to sell - once again, sorry, my fault...I really should have known better...

"- opinions are like belly buttons, every one has one,..." -

I do have a belly bottom, I do have an opinion, and I guess I do have a lot of experience, but for sure you don´t need to listen to me.

You could try to refute the statements I made ( for your record: these are personal experiences and observations I made when I "retrained" former IPO "sport" dogs, during that time called SchH dogs, for the "export" = PP and police dog prospects, made this for quite some time in Germany, than later on for a while in Sunny California - was a great time, I learned a lot, and I had a lot of fun...), but instead of trying to refute me you are trying to question and ridicule me - that´s low...

Yes, Gigante, it is the word "permanent".
