I agree they should accept it, but many don't necesarily like it
and prissy---aloof is still just semantics
I can picture prissy in my head, and we have a 5 month old female imported from belgium that fits that bill right now. She has mature features physically, doesn't look puppyish at all, and when she comes out on the field, she looks prissy, as pointed out by a few of our helpers, one of which is a rare american helper that is invited over to kennels in Germany and Belgium to work and train dogs. Her head is high, and she could care less about anyone else. She's there to do one thing, and when she wins she "prances" in front of the crowd, and past every dog in the kennel, in a kind of nah,nah,nah, look what i got type attitude--prissy---to me anyway. She has zero avoidance issues with loud noises, other animals, people, . When she grows up a bit, I think we're going to have a heck of dog on our hands.
I agree. Avoidance issues aren't good, especially for a GSD, how can you work when all you want to do is avoid?? but I'm losing what i'm even talking about, I can't even remember who's dog we're talking about. Oh well
