you couldnt be more wrong than the statemant you just made a true world clss sch. dog is of the correct tempermant and would be safe in all the described conditions you wish. people get the wrong idea about sch. dogs and saftey because pure and simple there is an awful lot of poor training. people many time confuse edge when its drive thats needed and the drive to do excellant sport work has nothing to do with wether the dog is safe of friendly. and for the most part every breeding like you suggests waters down the breed and other than a few health clearances it is no better for the breed than two people throwing 2 nice dogs together for a breeding, well except those people dont claim to be breeders or claim to be in the know.
