Wait a sec, I didn't say the titles were useless, I said it doesn't really mean much if I was getting a pup. But if i got a guard adult dog, then lain cerita lah.


Mr Gun,

You have to remember what you write....if you scroll up a bit you will see your reply to Kowpa that "titles is titles and means nothing"Tongue

BTW, I think you are too far ahead of yourself. How can a puppy have titles? You are not making much sense here bro.....and now you seams to want titled guard dog. Hope you already decided what you want though...Smile

Thank you for the tips PSD.


My pleasure

btw, lets say that this dog is in a kennel with its view blocked from my gate, someone approach my gate, she starts barking and after barking she whines abit. What are the possibilities? Distress cuz she can't see what's going on? getting nervous cuz can't see?


I shall not say more of what I cannot see. Can't help you here.


Quote
If you were at the Eukunuba dog show, there was one veteran GSD that was on show, I realised that it was whinning VERY loudly when it was at the exhibitors ground, what's your take on that?


Was not at the show but lemme guess......he wants to come out? maybe he is holding his pee too long....lolWink Anyway bro, this is out of topic and is not of any good. If you want to know more maybe you can start a new topic on why a dog whines. Perhaps you will get more people to join in there.

Guys,

I would agree with PSD focusing on what you need co'z you'll achieve your destination faster.
Guard dog is just one step above watch dog. Most dogs with some degree of sharpness will make good watch dogs. Then with age, maturity and courage ( if its there) defense will start building up. Hopefully the dog is not agitated beyond its avoidence threshold and have its confidence busted.
If you have money to spare then you can import the likes of Stormfront Brawnson, Bastin Kokeltal or Orry v h antverpa..

Re: [Polluxx] germanshepherd [In reply to] Can't Post

Polluxx,

Yes I am indeed pleasantly surprised that Sweden made it. 3rd or 4th placing I would expect but 1st is a plesent surprise indeed. Wanted to post this here also but guess you beat me to it....lol.

I love to see germany edged out of the 1st placing by this rookie team since they are considerably new to this. Was surprised USA never had anyone there.

Look at the points though, they are all very close meaning the competition and standards were very high level.

Attaque Adelegg, was the recent BSP winner. I guess this is what I call consistency. I think in Lubeck in 2002 he places only 31 with 278. I'm not sure about the other 2 dogs. Not familiar to me.

Anyway, for a wusv winner they have to be some dog thereSmile Anyway, not all dogs are 100% in form for the competition. This is why I am perticularly impressed with attaque for doing it twice in a row from BSP to WUSV and great to see a women there too.......I hope more malaysian wemen will step forward into SchH interest from now with this news. Then hopefully ppl will no longer brand me as harsh Guardog Corporal....lolTongue Congratulations to Ina Rosswag

Hi PSD,


Back to my earlier post on the Finn dog, it seems that up to late 70s, the VA dogs can still produce progeny wt enuf drv....Tongue. Wht's ur take ? ?

BTW it seems this is the 2nd Finn Champ in the recent yrs, there were another one back in 97' ! I thk there is much effort put in ScH in the Scandinavian countries ! ! Cool

Yup. . . . 31st place but based on his score detail, protection routine of 92 pts & tracking an excellence 99 pts, I would say a very good score indeed ! Cool

Hee hee, Polluxx my man...Still trying to get me to comment on show standards VA eh?.....You know lah! This is a stress area for me..lol....anyway for your knowledge. 1 working dog in Czech got VA recently with no Showlines blood. I guess like showlines sometimes has a minute chance (1 in a million maybe) to throw off a misfit whom can actually work.....workinglines too have the ablity to throw off working dog with VA structure....lol....

Nevertheless VA 70 years ago and VA today is way different. Look at klodo v. boxberg, roland v starkenburg, hettel uckermark, Erich v Grafenwerth, Utz v. Haus Schutting, Pfeffer v. Bern...etc.....What do you get? If those dogs are put into today's show rings do you think they will get to become Seigers? opps maybe not even qualified to be in the ring altogether....well I bet the show people will use this as their victory statement that they had successfully improved the breed already since then....lol...BTW, those names are great working dogs then too...hehe

Seriously I don't know much about the other 2 dogs to be able to comment effectively.

Yo Captain Polluxx, when is your wife joining the SchH Training?....heheheh!

The current "highline" ppl might might not fancy them Mad !, But give it to the working breeders , I fancy that our GSD might have a chance to stay on as a best utility/service/military dog to the next century.

Quote :

------------------------------------------------------
Not really ! , it is more like WUSV was set up as an organisation for GSD club around the world who wants to be affliated wt SV, and if I'm not mistaken WUSV is headed by SV as well.



Quote:
"*** VA is the title for the dog or ?
Sieger = VA 1 , the no.1 male dog of the annual SV
Sieger Show , (female = Siegerin) *** Seiger Show is a sport like SchH, tracking and some otehr protection work, herding or Dog show ? ""
-------------------------------------------------------
The VA & Sieger title is only for the show dog awarded in the annual Sieger Show. In some countries like Germany US & Italy 's Sieger show ,
In the Sieger show, each dog conformation is closely checked after which they have a short protection work routine to test the dog's nerve. This is followed by a look at the few leading dogs progeny group to see how good each dog produce ! After which the leading dogs are led thru the field to see their movements (trotting). The No. VA dogs each yr is not fixed, for instance this yr there is 11 VA dogs & 10 VA bitch. { VA 1 = Sieger , Siegerin }

Just wanna stressed the VA dogs of recent yrs (last 20-30 yrs) is chosen more for their conformation, plush coat, rather than their working drv & hardness which is required in the field of work such as police/military/even large flock herding dogs.

Since VA dogs r chosen to be leading dogs by SV, they also served as SV blueprint for the breed development direction. That is the reason why the character of of GSD deteriorate over the last 20-30 yrs b'coz when U breed "not so hard dogs" to "not so hard dogs" , U will get dogs who r "not so hard", "soft" or even "shy" dogs (also refer as fear biters).Unimpressed

Hopefully now SV has a new president (who has some working background) things will improve. Anyway just have to wait & see ! Wink


Quote :
"*** What is breed survey class ? "
-------------------------------------------------------
It is also refer as Koer, in which registered GSD in SV Studbooks is brought in front of the Kormeister to be evaluate both for his physical structure (conformation), & temperament. To qualify for breed survey, the dog must have a min of ScH 1 title & a show rating of 'G' (Good) & also passed his AD (20 km endurance run) as well an "a' stamp for his hip certification.

During the breed survey , the GSD is given an overall evaluation & critique. The complete detail of the dog structure is written down such weight, withers height, chest depth & circumference as well as the dog coat colour. This is followed by the description of the animal movement. Then we have the portion of survey dealing wt the dogs temperament & characteristic, where the judge will chk for the dog's nerve, confidence (expression) , alertness, courage & also for gun-steadyness.

KKL 1 - highest qualification of dogs which meet the standard for both structure & character, & r recommend for breeding.

KKL 2 - dogs wt some minor defects in either
a.) structure
b.) temperament - not sufficient courage or
fighting drv
c.) slightly oversize or undersize
d.) missing 1 or 2 teeth

They r cases here dogs r allowed to be re-survey if they failed or KKL2 (to upgrade to KKL 1) but must have the consent of the same 'Kormeister" .


For your info most workingline dogs will just get KKL2
not because of temperament but b'coz of just slight structure deviation from the showline standard. As the temperament test is quite ritual & not that stressful, so most top showline dogs who r not shy will be able to pass.
& get KKl 1




Quote:
"FH = Fahrtenhund , Tracking Title (FH 1,2 ,3) *** Tracking and SchH not the same ? I though SchH inclusive tracking also"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Well some ppl prefer to do just tracking for sport so this is for them , but in any case FH 3 is a far more advanced (harder) tracking trial than ScH or even the AKC's TDX title.


Jeez....I hope that should be able to clear some ur confusion...! Wink

Morning PSD Smile,

Been a bit tied up with work lately and just came back from Malacca last night. PSD, in your opinion, should one train the dog in obedience first before moving on to protection training ? I get differing opinions and practice.

BTW, PSD and all the working dogs enthusiasts out there, go and check out the announcement at event calendar forum, I have something which could be of interest to you guys.

Keep in touch.

Colin

Re: [colinchin] germanshepherd [In reply to] Can't Post

Colin,



There are differing opinions here I know. In my personal liking I like to see dogs overloaded with drives before doing any control work. The reasons is dog in high drive takes OB "handler mistake" better and will not act like the world just ended. If you start with formal OB, without drive work then it will be too late to develop intense drive later...you will have a harder time doing that.

For me, I prefer sociaisation, prey inprinting, bites inprinting, little bit of motivation OB like sit, down and come with food and toy....I will do this continuously until he is graduated to puppy sleeve (I will not want to correct the puppy for OB yet all these while) Then when he is sleeve crazy and bites full, calm and run with prey then I start enforcing OB. This is only my opinion and many trainers have their own differing opinion. You should form your own too. Dog training is not an exact science, it is creative thinking at the best. Anyway you have until the earliest 18 months to 3 years before you trial him so no need to rush the OB if you plan his training correctly.

BTW, have you decided on GSD or Malinois for yourself?
