| I might say this and hear allot of flack about it but I don't think I can fully trust a dog that only bites in bite suits and doesn't at least work without a suit. My buddy had a schII shepherd and one day he tried his out on personal street protection. He barked and did his thing but when he ran after the guy he stopped he kept looking for a suit to bite and when he did bite the hidden sleeve he broke loose easily. When he was presented a leg sleeve he just barked and nipped at it it was like he was lost or something. I like dog sthat work real street issues because though we all like schutzhund training at the end of the trial the handler is usually a friend and not a bad guy. Yet the streets are the streets and that to me is where it counts. |
