Thank you Rottie! I`m really proud of him! I hope we can get to CD or even CDX. I know you need that much just to pass the first Schutzhund test. Right now we are practicing for the bh test in the german shows, but I don`t know if I`ll ever show him in the ring. It costs so much and all that traveling! At the club we go to, the President of the club checks over the dogs real well before we can even start to train. Not just the temperment but he goes over their whole body like a judge does. One of the dogs had open hips and he found it way early enough to fix! I don`t think I`ll breed Barron. The breeder I bought him from made it sound like a science! I know more about Barron`s family than my own! All his parents for 4 generations had good hips and they all got working and obedience in ther papers. I still report back to him on Barron`s progress because he keeps track of all his puppies training. I wish all breeders were like that!
