Pretty rediculas isn't it?

Well judgmental jackasses......

I happen to know ( well not really know but know her reputation, accomplishments, and have spoken to several times) this lady and she is very honest and ethical. She comes across alot of dogs and places them in appropriate homes.

She describes the dogs exactly as they are. If she says they are police/top sport that is what they are. If they are a nice pet dog that will bark at people that is what they are; and are priced accordingly.

Trying to make fun of,criticize, or judge someone who has done more than you probably ever will just makes you look stupid.

So the dog doesn't have the drive to do sport/police work, but he'll react aggressively to a threat?  Sounds pretty backwards to me....and like a liability.

If he doesn't have the drives/nerve for police work, how could he POSSIBLY have it to be a PPD?  

If he were really all that and a bag of chips, she'd be asking a bit more for him.  Doesn't sound to me like a confident dog at all, but a fear biter....just sayin

Guess you missed this part.......

Confident dog that is social with people, other dogs and cats. Sweet dog, easy to handle but appropriately protective and territorial.

There is a big difference between a dog strong enough to be a man stopping police dog and a dog that will put up an decent threat and bite if provoked. But you are probably not experienced enough to know the difference.

A "PPD" can range from a dog that alerts to strangers, one that will offer a physical deterrent, one that has the confidence to bite, and one that will actually fight with a man. Depends on what the individual owner wants.

Unfortunately there are many out there that do not know the difference, portray a dog as something it is not, or charge rediculous prices.

Kristina is not one of those people. She accuratley describes the dogs as they are, makes every attempt to place dogs in appropriate homes, and does not always have to make a profit. She is one of the good ones.

That has got to be the ugliest young GSD I have ever seen.
Kudos to the seller for trying to locate a good, appropriate home for it.
I've always said: There's a job/home for every dog, and a dog for every home/job.
Its up to us to see that they find each other!

Good job Gard. And I don't think she is the u gliest young GSD picture dose not always do the dog justice, glad to know that there are some decent people out there. XEPH don't get confuse any dog can be protective of it's enviroment and his pack, that dose not make him good Police dog, there is much more that goes into it. If you talk with some of the K9 officer they will tell you how they had on heand a great dog, that simply had one issue that prevent them from doing the job, it could be car sicknes, it could be not being able to work in a close dark space, or under stairs, or whatever it is, which would not necesearly make the dog useless for some other departments, or hobby owners.  

Dog is cute and I don't mean that sarcastically either. I have a dog that is very protective, but he doesn't like to bite a sleeve, will play a mean game of tug-o-war and has ball/toy drive up the wazoo, will bark up a storm standing between me and the decoy without retreating. Will go anywhere I ask and has been known not to give up trying to get at something that is hard to reach including a peanut butter jar in the cabinet over the counter (got the top off himself). I have no doubt he would eat someone if they threatened me, he just doesn't like sleeves (I got him as a rescue at 6mos). I would trust him with my life. When we first had him, he went through a window screen cause he thought I was in trouble (neighbor's little girl showed me her costume, and she was supposed to be scary so I pretended I was frightened and gave a play scream), he never hesitated. I would not use him for police work or schutzhund but that doesn't mean he isn't protective. Sleeve bite doesn't always equal protection.
