Misha your last post is brilliant and I couldnt agree with you more. I also love the GSD what a magnificent animal and I firmly believe that to truly love the breed you must also maintain the history of the breed and that is to keep them a dog that can both work and be shown and if not as you say do not breed them. If you go to the Scutzhund Australia website and hit the link to Global Friends of Schutzhund there is a petition to sign please get all friends and family to sign and email it in. Thanks.

The first video is from Vienna they were going through exactly the same political propoganda as we are here and well good news came in today from our friends in Europe......... "ANNOUNCEMENT" Bless Vienna's politicians for making the effort to become fully informed first hand and not autocratically imposing unfair legislation on the wonderful sport of Schutzhund! Its time for the ANKC, GSDCA & our politicians to wake up and see the multiple benefits provided by the soundly accredited, mainstream hobby the sport of SchH/IPO represents. Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, On behalf of Mr. Robert Markschlaeger, ÖKV Leistungsreferent (The Secretary of the Austrian Kennel Club's working dog section), I am pleased to inform you that today, the 24.3.2010 at 9.30 in the morning, he was informed by a phone call from Mrs Sima, Minister for Environment, that Working Dog Sport in accordance with the ÖPO/IPO run by the Austraian Kennel Club (FCI) in the section 1/2/3 in Part C, was not affected by the proposed "Dangerous Dog Legislation" in Vienna. For this important clarification, we wish to sincerely thank the Minister, Mrs. Sima, and all those who have in any form helped in this matter of great importance for Austrian dog sport. This matter is herewith brought to a sensible and happy end. In the aftermath, to look for someone to blame for bringing this matter up in the first place will not be productive. Now the much more important thing is to look to the future and to promote the working dog sport in the wider community, in order to give this beautiful sport the full credit it truly deserves. With friendly regards, Ing. Roman Rauner and Friends

Love this one as well.. http://www.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DqtSYp...c3abbe877ae3c37

Instead, this supposed protector of the German Shepherd Dog has engaged in nefarious anti-Schutzhund activities such as lobbying the Australian National Kennel Club to intervene to overturn a vote by their own membership to support the sport; as well as under-the-table lobbying of State Government agencies with an aim to create legislation targeting Australians engaging in the sport and introducing discrimatory laws against Australian-titled Schutzhund dogs - all actions which seek to depress the sport's ability to develop and grow its membership and our people's ability to meet and practice our sport freely without fear or favour, on an equal basis to other canine sports in our Australian states. We who truly love Schutzhund need to show that the sum of our Sport stands for much, much more than our smallest parts.

Yep Erny I agree about the nay - sayers its funny in most European countries you cant even get a show title on a working breed until you have a Sch title because that proves your dog is of sound temperament and safe. Yet here in Aus we think we can reinvent the wheel..... makes no sense to me.

Well I think not. Watch this clip it shows how they are equipment focused SPORT dogs. http://www.youtube.com/user/danielayko#p/a/u/0/1JpbsEkCc54

Not long now .....WOOO HOOO

Well put Oonga, I also think this is a perfect opertunity for people to learn how to get their dogs to heel in full focus and get the most out of drive training.Uta is a brilliant trainer and her trial record and success with Malinois on the WORLD stage speaks for itself.

Hi all, It will be predominately a obedience seminar with the focus being on clicker training and all are welcome.

Hi everyone, Just wanted to advise of a clicker seminar with World Champion Uta Bindels from Germany. The seminar will be held in Melbourne at Endevour Hills. For those interested follow the link http://www.eagleheightssportdog.org/pdf/SeminarMay.pdf[/url]

I dont understand whats going on.....but in the rest of the world you cannot breed you working dog without first getting a minimum of Sch1 title.It is a temprement test or character assessment for breeding suitability and if you do not qualify you cannot register your litters. Maybe this is the reason they are trying to avoid it?

She sure does and she is a lovely lady as well. WE partiticularly liked a dog she had called Rapter ( Rytmo des deux pottois ) and also Cali ( Calice du dantero) Cali was the first owner,handler,breeder,trainer dog or bitch to gain Fr3 in the States.

Hi Kavik, The lady in that clip is Kadi from Du Dantero Kennels in California. You should check out her website it is fantastic. We were hopeing to import a Mal bitch from her a couple of years ago but unfortunately she didn't turn out. Love French I have a few DVD's and think it is a great Dog Sport.

Shoemonster...We loved watching your girl Inca what an awesome little girl .....she is bloody fast. It was our first time and we will bring our whole tribe next time for sure.

Thanks for posting this P. C we took our Malinois down and he had a ball. It was great to see all the dogs just having fun. Will definately come to the next one.
