You don't breed for schutzhund, you breed for a complete dog, which is what the GSD is supposed to be.
This isn't the GSD -- this is the AWS. In your logic, breeding for the whole dog involves breeding for schutzhund?? What about the other breeds that weren't originally bred to be your opinion of the "whole dog?" They have to be schutzhund titled in order to be a complete dog too? AWSs are used mainly for therapy/service work. Where does schutzhund fall into that category? I can argue that the dog should be flying disc titled too. It's the same irrelevance.

Even the pets and people that Wolfsoul was talking about is run by the Humane society and have the test printed right on their site. They do mention that it is a public access test and the applicants do recieve a certificate of pass or failure.
No it isn't -- the Pets and People Society has nothing to do with the Okanagan Humane Society. The humane society here is small and run out of volunteers' homes -- they do not have a facility like the SPCA and they do not have any affiliation with any of the clubs or societies in the Okanagan.

I could care less about the other breeds. The GSD has a reputation. Did you miss that the past 100 times I"ve said it. They have one based on the breeding and testing practices they've followed for the past 100 years. WGSD's have done nothing to prove anything. Flying disc titled, its fun for the dog, but really doesn't test nerve strength courage or intelligence at all. A crazy neurotic mess of a dog would be better at catching flying discs than a well balanced shepherd.

Maybe you also missed Nicole's and others constant comparisons to the GSD, that is why they are being compared, i don't know how much more simply it could be spelled out.

Also when did this turn into nothing but SchH? There is HGH trials too, and those tests were used to develope the breed that is working and saving lives today. But we get the same thing back, excuses and titles mean nothing for what I do, but my dogs can do everything, I know-those arguements are weak, prove it.
