Why is it that Rotties are no longer bred for strength? I thought the opposite; they are bred to work...is this not the same as being bred for strength? Do they not need strength to work?
How do you pick the activity that is right for your dog? (example: herding, agility, sch, rally) |
go to a schutzhund club (not a schutzhund trainer) and have her evaluated. rotts arent even bred to work they have been watered down over the years by show breeders and by breeders that actually think there dogs can be top show dogs and serious working dogs when in realitry there is no such animal with very few exceptions. that is why the german shepherds over the years have divided into 2 breeds within a breed the working lines are predominatly sable are tighter more athletic with shourter croups then the black and tan show lines and if we expect to have many strong working rotts they to will become a breed within a breed
