[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1308782, member: 1242"] I am not buying it. I have owned more than a couple of GSDs who are bred, among other things, for their high drive for use in schutzhund competitions. It is, without a doubt, the owner's irresponsible handling of those dogs that creates the problem. Here is Jackie ... the dog I described earlier. [URL="http://austerlitzshepherds.com/austerlitz/jackie.html"]http://austerlitzshepherds.com/austerlitz/jackie.html[/URL] Shadow was another of Suzanne's dogs. He was extremely protective of both Scott and I, but never, ever attempted to bite anyone. Unfortunately I had to have him put to sleep earlier this year. And Biscuit, the dog I let Positive Discontent have, was well on his way to competing in schutzhund competitions (so his drive is well documented) but routine x-rays showed problems with his elbows. There is a thread about him in the Photos Forum. You couldn't ask for a gentler dog. It is not about the drive bred into the dog. It is about the owners lack of responsibility -- whether deliberate or unintentional, the result is still the same. Like SoonerDVM, I have seen way too many dogs lose their lives for no other reason than people are just plain old stupid. What happened to this little girl is not the dog's fault, but I promise you the dog will pay the price for it. [/QUOTE]
