[RottsNScotts]

I have had a number of acquaintances and friends seriously question the sport of Sch, usually based on what they have seen "trained" in their area. I point out to them that judging an entire sport on what one sees at a possibly "fly by night" training school or group is about like deciding what obedience is by watching a class at PetSmart or a neighborhood class. One should search out very good to excellent examples before judging the sport.

That being said, I have done Sch, obedience, carting, herding, and tracking with my Rotties at very high levels. While each venue teaches me something about my dogs, I will also say that no other sport tells me as much about my dog nor makes a stronger bond between me and my dog...okay, except for police work with my dog!
