Working GSD Breeder

[JoLeigh]

Does anyone know any breeders that consistently title and produce dogs that title at the highest level of something other then Schh? FR3, MR3, PSA? Not looking for ANY TIME soon but in the distant future.

something other than SchH, FR, MR, PSA? what else is there in north America that's worth anything?

Well there IS other things like KNPV. But I meant other then SchH. FR, MR, and PSA are what I was asking about being titled in.

I don't know any working GSD breeder that titles highly in AKC OB,herding or the likes. Some do it in addition to Schutzhund, FR,MR,PSA. But most working GSDs I know are bred for Schutzhund or the likes.

Yeah like I said I worded it pretty poorly Im looking for FR MR PSA KNPV ect just not SchH/IPO

A gsd is best suited for IPO, sch, why would you want them being bred for another venue?

most of the big trainers that do title at the highest level with GSD's do so in IPO. There are a handful of MR people in this country, I think I've trained with 90% of them that have ever titled and there aren't many using GSD's. FR isn't much bigger. PSA? we'll see if that org makes it thru the year.

You're not going to find many GSD's trained in much other than IPO here or most places, just because IPO is by far the largest and people not training in that are usually using Mal's.

Your chances of finding a kennel and group of trainers working together to title at a high level in Ring sports isn't all that high. Does't mean there aren't dogs out there that can't do it, just the best are usually sold into IPO homes because that's where the interest and money is at for GSD's.

I know a few my self just looking for others to look into finding people to work with here not an issue. I myself prefer FR and the like Im not much for IPO and *I'M* a dutchie person but my husband prefers GSD and is pretty anti HH so GSD is our compromise.

It seems the registration of working line GSDs is IPO based too. Does SV/USA recognized say French Ring as a "working title" for registration of GSDs?
