I my opinion what constitutes a "working dog" is an activity where all aspects of the dog are covered. Where a dog is put out there performing and one is able to derive a picture not only of the dog's athletic ability, stamina, ability to perform structurally but also of the "underlying" areas, nerve, drive levels, willingness to "please" etc. One thing about ScH is that with its various facets, it covers a very wide spectrum pertaining to the dog, that's why I like it, while progressing through ones training there is almost no area not touched on.
