Shelley Strohl, here's a guy looking for a trainer............ - Page 2

Is he Brucellosis Negative?

CB and testosterone levels imaterial here. More important: Has he been neutered?

Well Shelly i think he should be able to dance, have money,have speed & endurance.......and be fixed,,,if your gonna dream,,,dream BIG.....lol

I thought it was all about the Standard?  Are girls who prefer the oversized GSD's, known as "Size Queens"?

Nope....they are known as happy........................lol

The Male Standard: 

Physical attributes;

-between 6' and 6'4"

-attractive head with well defined stop

-tight and smooth jowls, without droop

-ears not overly large

-kind and expressive eyes

-firm and well compacted body, athletic and agile, without excess bulk

Excellence in the performance phase: 

-hardness, courage and drive.  (and pass all drug enhancement tests)

-sensitivity and guideability in the obedience phase, including a distinct obedience to refrain from tracking other and various female prospects

-enhanced ability to find food in the tracking phase and, in the extension of that ability/phase, the propensity for sniffing out sources of money and indicating such to master/partner

Temperament: 

-cool with strangers, but affectionate and willing with close partner

-lack of fear and a willingness to engage all who would threaten master/mistress, partner.

I'm looking for my first working dog, but I definitely know what kind of trainer I want.
