I would just like to add that I have 3 German Shepherd males ranging in age from 1 year through to 12 years old. My 12 year old was used as a respite dog in an old peoples home as well as achieving Utility Dog Title in obedience. My 6 year old has achieved his Utility Title in obedience (heading for his Obedience Championship) his PT in herding, his Endurance Title, has a pass in Tracking and is also a member of the German Shepherd All STars Team here in Queensland. He was also shown in the Conformation ring and achieved 51 points (even though he hated it) My young boys is getting ready to try his obedience and also is shown in the Specialty and All Breed Show rings. I am not putting all these facts down to brag but to show the versatility of the breed when a little effort is put in to training. I would have loved to have tried Schutzhund but it is not recognised in Queensland. I feel that I have achieved 2 of the 3 requirements for the Schutzhund - just need to do the man work. All my dogs are sound in their attitude but are not whimps. These points, I feel, are what a German Shepherd should be - a family dog, obedience dog, trustworthy, sound in mind and beautiful at the same time.

Check chains are allowed in the trial ring along with flat collars.

Could I suggest that you do your training prior to the run in the park? The run free is then a reward.

Last night Sheila and Laurie Fielder of Rupertswood [Qld] lost their adored Randal aka Ch Damauren Lord o the Isle,CD.

Randal was BS Cl1, Excellent graded and was Queensland's most high profiled Delta Dog. His work as a Delta Pets as Partners Dog was recognised with an Australia Day Award for his work in the local Nursing Homes , Schools and the General Hospital. He was also the face of Delta fund raising campaigns in the North.

Randal was a brilliant Ambassador for the GSD breed - he had it all, conformation-wise and a superb temperament. Nothing fazed him. He was so self-confident and self-assured. Everything a GSD should be.

Last evening Randal suffered stomach torsion..... and the decision was made to let him go with minimum pain and discomfort rather than put him through a lengthy surgical procedure that the Vet gave him very little chance of surviving.

He died peacefully surrounded by those he loved most in the whole wide world.

Run free, Mr P. I will miss you but I will love you forever.

So sorry to hear of the loss of the lovely Asher. Sincere sympathy to Bella and family.
