Maybe I misunderstood, but this person is claiming to have trained over 40K dogs and gave you a phone assessment that the dog was genetically faulty?

Doing math, they'd have to train 800 dogs every year for each of those 50 years to reach that number.

That's also over half of the total number of GSDs, Rottweilers, and Dobermans registered with the AKC in 2006.

I'd be sprinting away from any trainer making those claims.
