No, her current owner did specifically intend her for Schutzhund work. Since the sire is Sch III, both the owner and the breeder hoped she might get her SchI at some point, but she was really purchased as more of a pet. If it doesn't work out, no big deal either. (Nothing like taking the pressure off!) I would assume she has had a tiny bit of bite inhibition work done with her, but not much. Her owner is not physically able to work her, so that's where I fit in.

I would, If I were you though try to get with a schutzhund club. It's easy to make a mistake in the bitework.. Come on over. ;) |
Don't worry, I have no plans to start bite work on my own, I know better. My problem is the closest club is about 3 hours away (Podium), and I'm not sure I'm that dedicated yet. :D I will definitely find someone to help us once she is old enough to start working, but I wanted to get her foundation off to a good start, since it will be another year or so before she could start any bite work.
Thanks for your suggestions, this will give me a good place to start!
