PM just so you know, I don't do sport either. There are many facets of training that cross over between sport and more real life things- even your video showed that. Where in real life is a sleeve used- it's not. But you have to use something to train the dog and see if it has the tools/temperament to do the job you want it to do.

Again, why would I want to come up and take a live bite from your dog? I wouldn't take a live bite from a piece of junk GSD either, it's stupid to even suggest that. Yeah, I'm going to drive 500 miles up there to let your dog bite me? I already said, I know that your dogs are good, so why do you keep pushing it.

You asked me to admit when I'm wrong- I'll gladly do that when I am wrong, and I've done it many times in the past. In the case of the video of the CAS biting, I'll stand by my point that it was crappy bitework. I imagine anyone else on this board who has ever done bite work before will agree with me. I will also stand by my point that the obedience was sloppy. I don't understand why you can't see that. I'm not insulting your personal dogs, I'm making an observation based on my own experience. Don't change the game like Pops said, and say that the CAS has a "natural deep full bite" and then dance around when your video clip shows a dog that is nipping and letting go of the sleeve.

ACampbell- great point- if you want to show your breed to the best of your ability, why post a video of a dog that is not biting well? I'm sure there are better examples out there. Even PM's pic of her own dog biting was good- nice full bite, proper place on the sleeve.

Guess you dont visit chat? Sorry my ass is doing fine.
One person wrote tehy were ging to get a GSD and that they wont now.
They like the breed they do not like the competiness posted..

And you cant quote ONE thing wrote calling GSD crap.
And you miss all the great tings I wrote and the fact I had REAL Partners of the GSD variety.

Please by all means PROVE ONE THING WRONG????
I will donate money to chaz rescue if you can prove beyond a doubt anything I said about GSD.
What was this quote- taken from the Guardian Breed thread- supposed to mean?

"Tthus like the GSD if someone runs who is a bad guy they may get a nice nip in the butt. But if a bad guy or a good guy turned bad gets nasty and does NOT run - "

What is the " - " ? You want people to guess what happens? To me, it sounds like you are saying, without putting it into words, that if a person turns on a GSD and confronts him face to face the dog will back down. I know that a lot of GSD's would back down- but a TRUE GSD with proper drive and temperament, will take that guy down hard.

I can show you plenty of videos of dogs chasing down someone running away and not giving them a nip on the butt. How about a full bite on the upper arm or back? Knocking them to the ground?

The GSD will use it's mouth as needed. If a sheep needs a nip, it gets a nip. If it has to take on a stubborn ram, it uses a fuller bite.

It seems like a lot of your "facts" about GSD's are based on conjecture and opinion. If you have all this experience with GSDs then you should know that what you wrote is not true, unless you never worked with good ones.

A thread is started , questions are asked, a post with many paragraphs are written by me, and you take one sentence and FINISH it for me?

This is your proof.:rofl1:

Here is the thread.Guardian breeds?

Presumptuous; arrogant.

conj.assuming definition as·sum·ing (ə so̵̅o̅m′iŋ, -syo̵̅o̅m′-)

adjective

taking too much for granted; presumptuous.

PS I made the mistake once by trying to talk drives with you wont happen again you know it all so why bother.

PSS Do you know where I got the herding dogs nip from behind and it can be mistaken for aggression or defense
I testified for a GSD owner whose dog NIPPED a child from behind and was taken to court. The dog was related to the first GSD i loved named King when I was 11. The dog herded the child and nipped grabbed and did not break skin but bruised. The parent ran over screaming at the dog the KID was not screaming but fell and was laughing. The dog BIT the parent.
They wanted the dog PUT down for his " A G B" . The dog never had a issue for this or after for that matter. I and several others including a GSD german breeder from 1966 was there. I learned and I helped.
The GSD was saved thou required to be neutered he lived a long happy life with his owner. When the judge understood that the GSD was herding NOT attacking and that when the parent screamed and ran to the child the dog was protecting the child from the dog.

YOU ARE A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR.

Never said that you are confusing me with your GSD firend who osted GSD are born with the ability to take full mouth bites.

I posted is is BAD for a LGD to ever commit to a full Mouth bite .

Why it is not good? i posted that too but you dont get it.

Keeping lying .

Why doe CASD or LGDS do not take full mouth bites without training?

Answer is COMBAT when fighting in real life not sport .
A ex would be a grizzly bear rear up when dogs goes on on him .
Dog has full mouth bite on left arm of bear.
Bear beheads dog.
LGD should hit bodyhceck bite thrash and drive off predators.
Self preservations exists in wild animals as well as dogs.
In most cases the Bear could EAT the dog but it wants to live and it knows any injury after killing the dog could result infection or lack of the abiity to fight off its own kind and TO hunt and eat.

LGD vs COugar Yep real god for them to grab a leg or any part of a big cat so the cats claws and or fangs rip them to shreads.

Man work Before GUNS were even a thought. Dogs had to protect their humans from bad humans. Now they could hold on to a arm for dear life so the other arm can slice open their neck with a knife or spear them in the heart.

Staying on sleeves is for police dogs for the CONTROL for SPorts dogs for the Sport
All comes down to the notion dogs must protect us but not bite too hard , and we are required today to teach criminals as innocent even if they attack a police officer.

GSDS were created as a war dog a police dog not a sport dog. The concept was control and controlling when who where why and how the dog is to protect.

However LGDS have been doing that for thousands of years.
Before protecting yourself with force was actionable in court.

This has gotten waaaaay out of hand. Both sides are saying the same thing, but each has their defensive side up and can't see it.

It seems to be PM is saying the CAS will protect to a certain radius and once the thread is gone from that radius, the dog returns to it's guarding and doesn't give chase.

Dan is saying GSD's will give chase and don't restrict themselves to a certain radius.

GSD's are herding dogs with different drives.
CAS are LGD's with different drives.

Why is there such animosity being thrown around? I've not seen anyone lying about anything.

What you wrote is correct no doubt.
However I have been miss quoted and accused of bashing the GSD.
I have not.
Inaccurate info has been posted about my breed i provide proof it is wrong and more wrong info is posted.

so breeds can have gaurding tendacies like the rott/gsd but imo unless trained and tested you just never now. _________________________

Well that was sort of an answer (although you still didnt admit that in order to train something the drive has to be there). Honestly you will NEVER know if a dog will protect and how long it will actually stay in a fight when it starts to get serious. No amount of training can ever prepare a dog for a real confrontation. There are so many emotions and signals when you are fearing for your life that cannot be played out during training. Some dogs are just more equipped to deal with the stress of a real beating and adrenaline pumping than others. But then again I only rely on my dogs as a deterrent, and to not have a backup plan other than the dog would be foolish.

And making reference to all these GSD's and how they allow their owner to get raped, and break into the house ect. How many of those GSD's fit the standard for the breed (the working dog standard, as i know many TRY to interpret the standard to their likings)? Also the instict to protect could be there, but not every dog knows how to do that properly or how to fight, to some it comes natural to fight the RIGHT way others need coaching. The good GSD's are definately outweighed by the bad but I think we are talking two completely different breeds. The good and those bred to mesh with society and bred to the needs of those who cannot handle high drive, suspicious, defensive (which in MY breed is NOT a good trait for protection, but is a starting point and depending on the dog it can evolve, much better than prey oriented dogs who have such a high threshold for defense that nothing phases them).

So MY ideal ppd would have moderate/high suspicion (and I mean that in a "he's fully aware of his surroundings and not from a fearful perspective), civil (looks at the man not equiptment) STABLE confident , and active agression (NOT defense) and have a lower threshold for agression (not overly sharp, but i dont want a dog to have to get beat by a 2by4 to realize they arent safe anymore). Also moderate prey drive (NOT high), just enough to make PP training fun, and safe. And that is based on the knowledge I have of MY breed.

Again you cant quote one wrong thing or one insult I made about the GSD.
And as expected you went into MY I DOG GSD. I did not use MY I dog.
It became about each GSD dogs owned here long ago .
Instead being able to disprove the prey vs defense vs self preservation vs drives.
Everyone went into MY dog can do this and my dog can do that.
yet we all know they do not represent the breed as a whole.

I quoted standard profiles history and GSD people went off thinking every time some said that GSD are not born biting full sleeves and not all GSD are naturally protective, or that they herd and do not take FULL mouth bites of SHeep, and that herding/prey drive can give the impression the dog is biting but in fact they are nipping from behind to move the sheep and some herding dogs will herd anything inc humans.

NOT one negative or completely off base thing you will FIND about GSD I said.
Yet you will find tons of wrong info posted about drives and the CAS fro GSD people and not one opps I was wrong ever posted.

So if you consider correcting wrong info that can cause BSL rude.
Then im VERY RUDE thank you so much. And im in good company here
I have over 44 emails calls pvt messages from chaz members aggreeing with me, thanking me for info.But dont wish to lose friends who own GSD and take every comment personal.
ive asked them not to stick up for me no need too . But I asked moderators to remove he entire thead. They said it should stay. So it must be helping someone.

Truth is the mark of any good breeder is not how well liked they are,
I never said anything about MY dog. If I did it would have read WAYYYY too much defense (at the moment has a chewy bite from his defense drive), lots of prey drive but lacking pocession (will drop sleeve immediately if I didnt run him in a circle. Defense is his "comfort" drive so will use that more than prey. Has a hard time transitioning between drives (which gives him a sh!tty bite whenever the helper becomes too frontal). Also went through a horrendous fear stage (barking and hackling at everyone) but came through it on his own and now he is just a cuddle bug as long as I'm not stressed hes not either (very intuitive to me). Fear stage came from an overload of agression in his pedigree, and didnt know how to handle it. We do SCHUTZHUND. I got him specifically for schutzhund. I have been told he is a breedworthy dog but at this point, if he doesnt gain more confidence in his work (its sufficient but NOT enough for me) and doesnt develope a nice fight drive he will not be bred. And if he is it will have to be a female who is overly confident, has a high threshold for defense and is not on the edge of exploding (with all drives).

Oh and just because I've been accused of thinking my dog is the best dog in the world:

HE"S THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD ;)

A few off base things. GSD's arent naturally protective have to be TRAINED, as I said before IMPOSSIBLE if drive or instict is not there. And if the dont have an instinct to protect and are being sold as PP dogs, then they are out for money as THOSE dogs are sleeve happy, nothing more. My thoughts of PP. It gives you control over a dog that will protect naturally (to the best of their abilities) and it gives the dog the tools to protect PROPERLY.

Another thing that GSD's only nip dont have a full mouth grip (and the full mouth isnt genetic), but your (defense) dogs do. That statement goes against nature. How could the dog with no prey bite deeper and fuller than a dog that does have prey and will use that drive to hunt and kill their prey. They NEED a full calm grip or else their "dinner" will get away. Its a known fact in the PP world that normal defense dogs more and likely will have a frontal bite or chewy bite. To me it doesnt matter if a protection dog bites full mouthed or not, a bite is a bite as I stated numerous times before. Its the fact that it was inaccurate comment that you made, while you are accusing everyone else of false information.

I havent said ONE thing degrading towards your breed (heck I didnt even MENTION a CAS until you accused me of belittling your breed). I have stated numerous times that I feel your breed along with other LGD's are quite capable of guarding. That they are great dogs I'm sure, but require understanding. I get the impression that you believe raising a LGD is like raising a golden. Maybe you are so used to it being in the breed so long, so you know nothing different, but not everyone has "it" to raise ANY type of dog.

Also, everything I DID post about drives and pp was based on the most common PPD's (GSD's, Mals, Dutchies ect) and stated that in my posts. I openly stated I dont know ANYTHING about CAS', but I DO know the GSD and corrected your misguided information regarding the GSD.

From guardian thread...

Herding breeds are activated by movement .
Tthus like the GSD if someone runs who is a bad guy they may get a nice nip in the butt. But if a bad guy or a good guy turned bad gets nasty and does NOT run -
You want a guardian breed with natural defense drives,
Well could you tell my dog, he isnt supposed to have a defense drive. Would make things alot easier in terms of biting the sleeve. In prey, AWESOME deep full calm GENETIC grip, but once he goes into that other drive (since it cant be defense :rolleyes:) it gets chewy and growly.

(2nd post of MY personal dog)



Chows have been great family dogs and very tough guard dogs since they bite more with the whole mouth vs the front teeth most herding dogs do.( require grooming)
Ok, I understand what you mean how one solid bite would be more dangerous for the dog, and agree. I dont like the idea of my dog just staying in one spot, too vulnerable. Plus multiple bites hurt more :cool: and keep the threat distracted. But that comment is inaccurate. Not speaking for Chows (dont know that breed either) speaking for the "herders" (and since we are talking pp, I assume you mean GSD's, Mals ect), they do infact use their FULL mouth (and these are dogs being trained in protection not herding, but im sure their insticts to "nip" the sheep vs full mouth the prey will still be there). I just dont understand why you would make the above comment, if you infact didnt want your dogs to use a full mouth bite. From the comment it says they are "better" BECAUSE they use their whole mouth to bite.

Simply how many times have you been bit by a GSD or a Chow?
How many people have you watched getting bit by a GSD or a Chow.

I have watched GSD bite without SCH training over 100 x I worked with them.
I have worked with GSD since I was approved to work vs go to school in a 4 h progam as a Vet tech in Bay Ridge GSD number one. I had to watch many GSD put down based out of complete ignorance.
I have rescued more GSD and mixes there of from the North SHore animal league .
I have gotten grabbed more times that I can mention or list GSD chows far worse.
I have been bit by a GSD front teeth failed army dog .
I have watched them heard.
I hosted my own PP trial and the GSD owned by our locak sheriff FAILED the TT done for sport
I have was a CGC tester for years and tested many breeds inc GSDs from protection lines.
I have watched bite work and schuzand at 5 different states and 2 countries.
Plus I sold my own dogs to 3 PP Trainers.
I have been grooming for 3 years. GSDS are plenty.
I have watched them herd.

Now Please by all means engligthen me how many GSDS you have owned worked or have been bitten by ? Pls list your work you make your opinions about> Im sure ai can ref another 1000 sites for mine.

Are you capable of having a conversation without referencing your ONE DOg?

And since my work is wide I dont base anything on ONE dog let alone mine.

I made 2 posts regarding MY dog (only after YOU mentioned the fact that I went into "my dog this and my dog that"). :rofl1: ROUND AND ROUND WE GO!!!

Learn to spell SCHUTZHUND, first. Secondly, why dont you FULLY address my questions that I've been asking,,uh I dont know,,20 pages ago.

How can a dog with no protective instincts be trained to protect? I want to know how you put that drive INTO a dog. Then maybe we can get some Goldens and Labs into REAL protection work (not SCHUTZHUND).

How is it that a dog with minimal prey drive have a full mouth bite whereas a dog with a ton of prey drive will only nip? As we all know the predator must hold the prey calm full and hard until it dies, or else it will get away.

Also how is it that the deep full calm grip MUST be taught? When you have GSD's of all ages coming out to do bitework for the first time and their FIRST BITE EVER is a deep full calm bite.

Surely with all your experience you can answer these questions with ease. :)

Little hint for those that care. You can take a breed a Collie Spimone a Cocker and take the natural protection breeds most dogs have thou low in some, high in others like Fila.
And if he dog is stable and u find the right trainer who has worked many breeds outside the norm. YOU can even pass any PP test .

PS Ive watched Labs work in PP work it seems you have not.

Mind you taking a car like a trail blazer and cutting it to put a Porshe engine in it to win a race is something you want to do - to prove it can be done. Go for it.
Or in this case if you want the elite PP dogs that also are family dogs just buy the GSD put much less work into it since they have a higher amount of the drives needed and u could win a trial.

PS you may wnat to read some books or some standards and see what temperament is called for. Many Many breeds have a base drive of protection, just lower and not required for a test to breed.

Fila CO Fila SAO Miquel SRO are Harder dogs with a quicker trigger high ADR thus require litle training to get them to protect.
Less known dogs like LABS can and will protect their owners with no training.
NOthing passes more for life test than life itself love and devotion is all any breed of dog needs it is called desire and it is in every breed.

Size ability means in war the dogs created for this and the Lab gets kicked in the chest and may die dont mean he wont try to protect his owner/

Since you hijacked my CAS thread for your GSD dog lets just add a full life education of my 43 years extensive dog career to the thread.

THE Lab Strengths and More Strengths
Intelligence

In his book �The Intelligence of Dogs,� Stanley Coren�s survey of experts ranked the Labrador Retriever as number seven.

Number one on the intelligence list is the Border Collie. This breed is so smart and so driven to herd that they are just too much for most homes.

Number three on the IQ list is the German Shepherd, bred first and foremost as a working dog. When �The Intelligence of Dogs� was written, this was the world�s most-used working breed, and remains high on the list. The German Shepherd has a dimension of personality not bred in the Labrador, in the form of protection instinct. The German Shepherd would rank higher in intelligence for that reason, but protection is not a desired instinct for some of the situations where Labradors excel.

Number six is the Shetland Sheepdog, a herding dog with a protection dimension to the personality and a real little whiz kid. Shelties are too small to do a lot of the jobs that Labs do, they bark for fun, and they have lots of fur to groom.�

At number seven in such distinguished company, the Labrador is quite high in overall canine intelligence rankings. Untrained Labradors can be silly when excited, and people who don�t understand them will sometimes call them �stupid.� Don�t believe it! These dogs are smart, capable, willing, strong, and exceptionally good at staying on task.

Temperament

A major reason Labradors are doing so many jobs today is their ability to work safely with the public..

Work Ethic

The hunting work Labrador Retrievers were bred to do calls for water retrieving on cold days and for work in all kinds of ground cover. Provided the temperament and health are as they should be, these are dogs with great stamina. This stamina is mental as well as physical.
.

.S. Customs and Border Protection also uses a lot of Labrador Retrievers. Police and private-company handlers work with Labradors as one of the breeds for drug and explosives detection in schools and in public and private buildings.

Labradors are distinguishing themselves in the field of arson detection, finding evidence of the crime within the fire scene, around the area where materials might have been tossed, checking crowds of spectators congregated around the fire scene, and specific suspects and vehicles.

Search and rescue teams work with Labradors frequently, which is a great fit for this breed talented both in tracking and in air scenting, sociable around humans and other dogs, and good to come when called. Search and rescue has various specialties, such as cadaver dogs, dogs who search for lost pets, and avalanche search. Labradors do pretty well in snow
You can train for all manner of dog sports, including Dock Dog competitions where dogs vie for the longest jump into water off a dock. Besides high-powered field trials, Labrador clubs put on tests for the WC, JH, SH and MH titles designed to prove hunting ability without expensive competition. Labs excel in obedience, tracking, freestyle, rally obedience, flyball, scent hurdles, Schutzhund traffic and tracking tests, and more

So is that your way of saying you messed up by saying a GSD has no instinct to protect? So now ALL dogs have an insticnt to protect (well DUH, self preservation protecting the pack is included in that)? A minute ago it was a GSD has no natural insticnt to protect? Now its they DO have the instinct but its lower than that of a CAS. Is that what you are saying? Why would you make such a rash comment NO PROTECTIVE INSTINCTS NO DEFENSE DOG then change you mind and say they do have the instincts, just not as strong as yours? I thought a GSD HAS to be TAUGHT to protect since it isnt natural? ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND.

See if you would have said a GSD's guarding instincts isnt as strong as a CAS or LGD I wouldn't have questioned it. Heck, I even agree with that statement, no doubt. Thats up for interpretation and people can form their own opinion on who would be a better protection dog for them. But you made it a FACT that they did not have a natural instinct to protect. That simply is NOT true.

I've seen a lab in protection mode FOR REAL, not PP training. I was dumb and thought I would sneak in and scare my aunt. Her dog charged me first.

Now to the bite question. You said GSD's are prey driven dogs yet contradicted yourself AGAIN by saying they will only nip. Yes, they nip while herding, totally logical (why children get nipped because they are being herded but if the dog saw them as PREY not something to herd, it would be devastating). Prey driven dogs bite hard and full. honestly since you are around PP trials so much, you can tell me that the Mals and GSD's are only biting with their front teeth? I know that is NOT even CLOSE to true.

As for my experience, I never proclaimed to be an expert (unlike others, who post false information). The questions I ask are common sense questions. Doesnt take a PhD in dog behavior to figure out you stated incorrect facts. And hell yeah I'm a pet owner, first and foremost. I do Schutzhund because my dog loves it and I love it not to feed my ego. I dont need a dog for true protection thats what a gun is for. ;)

Poodles?! You dont say :rolleyes:. ANYONE in the PP world or even schutzhund world know poodles are kick @ss dogs.

Also, why do you feel the need to boast your experience? If you think thats supposed to scare me off, think again. Whether you've been in the dog world 5 years or 50 years, your specific comments you made that I addressed numerous times are WRONG.
