Too cute but exactly what Jeff was talking about. See what good acting on the decoys part and good training can do for a dog! They put on a nice litte show.

hey thats great!

I had no idea other breeds other than the ususal GSD, rotts, mals could participate in Sch sport, how fun.

many years ago, our club had a border collie (i know she achieved schh1) and an airedale (don't know if he ever titled, but his OB and bitework was good, less so the tracking)

Claudia is a National competitor, she did this demo with her Jack Russell at the 1998 USA Nationals - the helper is her husband Steve. This was posted in honor of Mr. Murphy, who just passed away, but this demo and this little dog brought a lot of enjoyment to the schutzhund world, and ofcourse, to them. Just shows what good training and a drivey dog of any breed can accomplish.

Terriers have great tenacity and drive. For a very long time my old club had an Airedale and his handler as members, they started at 8 weeks of age, went on to SchH3 and National Competition, the dog "V"ed tracking and protection quite often. Wonderful dog. We also had a woman who titled 2 border collies, one to SchH1, the other to SchH3,FH if I recall correctly.
