Tuesday: Sheperds in general are working dogs...they herd,protect,gaurd,etc,etc....Mine are being trained in Schutzhund..which is tracking,obidiance,and protection..alot like the police dog training.It is an awesome sport and we absolutly adore doing it..the bonding I have with Damien on the field is incredible!! He is going for his first title this Oct. his AD..it is a 12.5 mile endurance run in which he runs along side a bike I am riding...2 15 minute rests along the way.He will (the same weekend) go for his conformation title....then in Nov.I am going to try to get his Bh (which is a basic obidiance title all schutzhund dogs need in order to advance in compition) and possibly his watchdog or first tracking title on him!!
