Is that what she said or might you be twisting the intent of her words somewhat (a lot).

Like I said:
Working line dogs don't belong in the homes of boring, sedentary people who only want to be sitting in front of the TV or the computer screen when they're home.
100% true statement.
All I've said all along is the people who own working line dogs vs show line dogs have different ideas of what the perfect dog is, each side thinks their version is better, the dogs ARE different, and there is room for both. We sure as hell aren't going to meet in the middle, that's for damn sure, but you want to argue with me about this? You are too much.

Once more you JACKASS, there are big differences between working and show line GSDs, both sides think their dogs more closely resemble the ideal, but there is room for both. For the record, I never said nor did I think that conversely, slug type people were appropriate as owners of show line GSDs, so don't you dare put words in my mouth. I simply agree with Kelly about what is or is not an appropriate home for a working line GSD, get your facts straight, because believe me, if I thought it was true, I would have said it, plain and simple.
As for titles, yes my current dog is titled by me as were the ones before him, as will be the ones that follow. I think training obedience, tracking and protection for schutzhund is the greatest fun in the world, and that's why I always have working line dogs. I just don't feel the need to show off, by the way, I'm not the best and I'm not the worst. Notice I haven't asked you for your pedigree because frankly I don't give a shit.
I don't expect show line people and working line people to like the same things or agree on which is the better dog, I don't think we have to, we should be able to respect each other and understand we are just different. Nothing to get defensive about, just different. I like what I like and you like what you like. Doesn't make working line dogs better, just better for those who prefer working line dogs, and vice versa.
Now go on with your bad self and yap some more bullshit about someone you don't know. I'll let you have the last say, it's so important to you. But understand I am done with you, you have problems you need to deal with.

I also agree that the popular stud dogs are bred to because the stud dog sells puppies. For example I have actually been told by a breeder that used a VA dog because the puppies sell better. This person also said that another dog was a better match to bring out working drive but the puppies would be harder to sell so that breeding would never be considered. If people don't wake up and put temperment and working ability first we will eventually have dogs that cannot perform schutzhund at any level.
For myself I like a good looking dog that I am not embarrased to take onto the field. Is my dog a national level schutzhund dog? No, but he is a good club level dog that I enjoy working. I think there is alot of pride in training your own dog. To see the transformation from a puppy to the Sch1 is as exciting to me now as it was when I titled my first dog in 1999.
Best Regards,
Cheryl

Keith, I think pretty much everyone else gets my points, I'm fortunate in not needing you to explain anything to me about this breed. Take care!!
