Just keep going to club and continue to learn. You'll start to know whether your dog can do it or not. Even if he isn't the greatest of dogs, you'll learn a lot with him and be 100x better and experienced when you get your next. What's funny is he looks older than 6 months and there is a thread on another dog that is the same age and he looks younger. Looking at a pedigree will tell you what may be there. What you do with it is the important part.

Ya i,m sure not what he means by classic but i would guess hes useing that in a positive light,I,m not a big Czech dog fan but he is very nice looking if nothing else.and true you dont want to be too hard on a young dog but as the same time you want to make sure you have a good dog with great temperment and not wasting your time on a dog that will never be a great Sch prospect

thank you all for your input.

 

This is my second shepherd. but my other shepherd i got it as a rescue at 7 months.

weighed 42 lbs when i got him. i was really concerned with his weight and health. spend alot of money on food and vet bills i learned alot with him. and now im just building foundation with my new dog.

in his pedigree he COULD be a good schz dog, if the training is correct. but my trainer also says, since she has seen him since 8 weeks. that he could get his BH no problem and his schz 1 no problem at all. but the rest depends on him and myslef as a handler.

i just got some more pictures.

 

it's only 50% the dog if you want to achieve titles... I wouldn't give too much on others opinions and stay with your club and work with your dog!

yeh..

 

understandable. i wasnt going to quit anyways, even if someone said"its a waste of time he will never make it"

i still go there for fun and bonding, plus i want a dog that listens, not one that runs off when he pleases.
