| Re: Schutzhund... is it a good idea with a child in the house?
I personally have my SchH3 Gsd, (who is NOT just a sport dog) around infants and children on an everyday basis. A SchH dog MUST be of correct temperment, correct temperment to me is a dog who is clear in the brain. My dog can be around the smallest child or the most frail person, I am not ever worried. SchH will teach you how to read your dog and the relationship you will develop will be profound if done correctly!
That being said, propper supervision is a must with any dog. SchH or NOT!!! My dog is NEVER around anyone without me. Owning any dog is a responsibility, never to be taken lightly. Your foundation in SchH is obedience. Obedience begins with the relationship.
good luck.
