how many dogs that have shutzhund titles are sold to police departments? i acn tell you that lot of the dogs namely malinos that do knpv,or mondio ring are sold to police.now you geniuses try to figure out why that is.like i said before shutzhund is nothing more than a sport and does not prepare a dog for any real work in the real world.i have nothing against shutzhund as long as people who are doing it don't make it sound like it is what defines a working german shepherd.in fact shutzhund is what rueining the breed because all kind of dogs are being bread because they have shutzhund titles.and as any one with half a brain would know that majority of these dogs are do shit work because they had shity handlers and shity trainers and hard to tell at this point if the dog is geneticaly good or not. shutzhund was never a good test and is not a good test and will never be.ask those police departments who have top handlers and top dogs how they test their dogs.you be surprised.i can go on and on but why. have a nice one.

Steve where did I ever say tracking was an easy thing to teach a dog ? I never did. I have trained with a personal trainer years ago for 3 years  2 -3 times a week .A lot of that time was devoted to schz tracking.I hate laying tracks .I'm a pretty good trainer and know the drill well.I never intended to title my dog it was just something I did because I wanted to learn and have some time with my dog away from the kids .I did it for myself. I have had the pleasure of owning many German shepherds in the last 20 plus years.I train some one for something every day some times all day.It may not be for titles but it is for life and love.I like a dog to do search and rescue and that is the kind of tracking I prefer.I also like basic obedience and agility  and informal herding .Now im no world class trainer but believe me I can hold my own. I do not care for the fake animation walks in the fine sport of schz.. It makes people look silly. Now as for the dog I trained for 3 years ,He was trained to bite and a fight broke out between two guys and my dog bit one guy real bad . A lot of people were afraid of the dog (not me ).Well Someone poisoned him within a week of the incident .He died at the vets office .An autopsy revealed he was poisoned. My mistake was in not watching my dog in a critical situation and it cost him his life. A mistake I will never make again.I still have many dogs so I train some one every day for something .Please do not think I'm an idiot.  I just have my own opinions and they are based on first hand knowledge. If the sport is for any or all of you go for it. As for me I will train for what I want and what I dont want.

i acn tell you that lot of the dogs namely malinos that do knpv,or mondio ring are sold to police.now you geniuses try to figure out why that is.

1.      Malinois make up the majority of police dogs and most Malinois are trained in the ring and KNPV programs.

2.      The KNPV system was created to produce police dogs. The schutzhund program was not.

3.      KNPV handlers raise and train their dogs for resale. Most dogs in schutzhund are companion animals.

4.      A Malinois trained for schutzhund cost more than ring and KNPV dogs.


Maybe you could answer some questions for me? Why is it that an IPO3 Malinois cost more than a comparable ring or KNPV dog?  Who, in the US, has a titled Mondio dog that is working as a police dog?

I agree with you that schutzhund is not a good test for a police dog. But NO sport is. Schutzhund was never meant to be a test of a police dog,

Sorry I was not clear. I’m talking about voting for club officers.

But that doesn’t mean you learned it. Until you have a passing score in a score book your claim will always be dubious. I sure as hell would not go to a doctor that did not have a diploma. Would you?

There is no rule that says you have to have a certain walk.

4_Pack:

As far as hunt drive is concerned, I'm still not sure what the blind search in SchH is supposed to test.

The dog does a quarter-mile obedience session at full-out run, then goes to work and judged on barking, biting, etc.

The hot-box search sounds really cool. I can see it with something like duck-hunting blinds.

Where did i mention tracking to you, i did not, you said why finish at Schh why not go on further
SchH is three Phases not just Tracking
I am replying to the first post and in that post it was mentioned that this person could get a dog from a pound and train to SchH standards, or was saying anyone could do the same
 Then you yourself said why stop at SchH,  why not go further, as if it was so easy, that is why i replied to you
Yes, some Dogs who are SchH3 barely make that grade
I have see many Dogs in trials only this last year about 14 or more trials where some dogs hardly get a score of 75 or so
Then there are SchH 3 Dogs who compete and hardly fail to get scores of 93 Plus every time they compete in every phase they do
That is the difference in the quality of the Dogs and there handlers
And i have no where said that you are an idiot, your words not mine
But for sure you are taking me to be one
One last thing
It is not all about the dog and how good it is and that applies to anything to do with Dogs, SchH, Police work etc
If the handler is not up to it then the Dogs performance will follow suit, no matter how much potential the dog may have had, and that applies to all livestock

I added this bit on

I too train at  two clubs three times a week. In the winter Twice evenings and Sunday mornings, freezing cold but we still train with flood lights
Plus i train the Dogs every day at home meaning they go for a walk and obedinance training is done in a car park every day without fail, for without obedinance the dog cannot go no where, that is my opinion only, and every day the dog goes through the normal SChH routine of obedinance
If a Dog just moves a muscle at the Down or Sit the exercise is done again,
We have been taught never to finish off with a obedinance fault like moving at the sit or down it must finish the correct way faultless
and that applies to every phase
Then it is playtime, and sometimes in between the Obed routine the ball is dropped if the dogs attention is not 100% this brings the dog back up to the job in hand

Chis leave me alone .Take you wise cracks back to your club house along with your club members and just leave me alone .I don't need to prove anything to anyone .I know what I learned. Do you think I would spend so much money and time and not know what the heck I was doing. As for the rest of your  club friends piss off. I had one on one training for years .I did not get 10 minutes of training once or twice a week . I got all the time spent on me and my dog.
