This is probably going to became a pissin match but Why is there a difference between show and working line dogs? are they all not german shepherds? should they all not be held to the same criteria? I,m a fat guy if i run a hundred meters with a sprinter i,m going to get my butt kicked but the rules should be the same in the race should they not? should my distance be shorter? or should i get a head start?.

Either way you would lose, can you see my point, it's all in the drive that the dog is bred for. Some well bred show dog will have that drive. when you talk abot speed., it's all about the conditioning of the dog. That is why I said apple to apple

Why is it that show dogs take more calculated training? Who would lose what? Am I the only one lost here?

I would like to see what dog #2 has when he has had his OB put into his bitework. He strikes nice and has nice grips but I would like to see what the finished product looks like. Most any dog looks excellent when being worked in prey, but when they start asking for control some tend to come down a few notches if not more.

Dog#1 had some training issues. Not sure what is going on there. He was okay to me. Not a V score by any means. He might have it in him but needs more work.

Flashy dogs though.

Calculated as in you can't push a showline too much, it takes more time to get what you want out of the dog. As for either way you loose, that was the comparision between a fat guy and an athlete competing in a 100 yards dash.

A good dog is a good dog. It doesnt matter what lines it comes from. The only argument I see is the percentage of good dogs in the lines but any line can have good dogs like dog #2

Dang it, I never get to watch these vids because all my dogs go psychotic!

Dog #1 shows nothing noteworthy. I am disturbed at what appears to be a trend of the showline crowd posting vids of what they consider "tough good working dogs" that are in fact, nothing of the sort. Have any of them seen a real working dog on a quality helper? Please somebody Google a top BSP dog to see the difference...

Dog #2 shows more of what is expected. However, I could not help but notice that the chick who was holding the dog back in agitation had both her arms in front of her clasping the leash. From one woman to another, I know that dog was not pulling very hard or else she couldn't have maintained that stance. I see that posture all the time among the newbies who try to hold a dog back during agitation with both hands in front like that. Sorry sisters, but we ain't that strong... I'm fit and athletic but I wouldn't be able to hold back my husband's little Malinois bitch in a stance like that.
