....and to add to what Red Sable said above, do these high-drive dogs have the "run of the house" and are they around small children?

Also add.... other pets. Would they be safe from a COMPETITION dog?

Hans.. thank you for your info too! You are NOT an idiot!

 

No maggs that's the problem, you have no clue what you're talking about as usual.   Another thing you don't know maggs, I have been involved in schutzhund since the 80s.  You on the other hand are doing your usual talking out of your ass.

My high drive working line dogs have always made great house dogs, never a problem, including my Tiekerhook dog.  My dogs have always had house time.   I also kennel my dogs outside, but not because  they  destroy my house or are somehow dangerous and out of control.  I personally don't like the idea of teaching pups and young dogs too many house manners, too much "no this and no that" for my taste.  I also believe it's healthier for the dog to have his own place outside.   My other animals are and have always been safe, as have my nieces and nephews.  High drive has NOTHING to do with temperment and clear headedness.

Maggs you are once again asking the same  question regarding children that has been answered for you multiple times.  Just because a dog is high drive has nothing to do with whether or not it can be around children. You don't listen - EVER.  Obviously  you don't even understand the basics including differences between temperment and drive,  no wonder you have such a screwed up idea of what these dogs are.    If you would just shut your mouth for once in your life and try to learn something instead of pretending you have a clue about the subject people wouldn't get so frustrated with you.  Instead you  believe this garbage you imagine  and then want  to argue about your made up crap.  Until you act like a normal human being and try to learn instead of living in your weird little fantasy world, it is nothing but an utter waste of time trying to teach you anything.

RPK Getting forgetful?  This is exactly why I have asked you to stop addressing me.  Your constant tantrums over President Obama are old, no one gives a shit what you think about him, least of all me. 

I have a high intensity GSD that lives with me in the house... believe me it is a challenge and would drive most people nuts... and on most days he does drive my wife nuts. I have never seen him sleep, he is 80 pounds and I feed him 7 cups a day of premium kibble just to keep his weight up and that's with him in a crate 6-8hrs a day. He is always on the go. If you put him in  a run or on a tie-out he never stops pacing back and forth. I don't have kennels yet built and so he is either inside with me, in the crate or on a tie-out. I have a walking path at the end of the tie out where he walks it non-stop... could be 8 hours or more when I am working outside, never stops. While he does not poop inside he is a painter in a kennel. I could never have him out when I am not around... he could (and has) destroyed a room in 30 minutes. My female on the other hand is the perfect house dog, quiet until someone is outside, goes and lays down on her own, hell she even sleeps in my daughters room at night.

You go away, maggs, you are the one with nothing intelligent to say on the subject, nothing worthwhile to contribute,   since you are completely clueless about schutzhund. Maybe if you would shut your  mouth, you could actually learn something.

.....riiiight -- like you have something worthwhile to contribute.   Thanks, but no thanks, I will listen to the people on the forum who have real knowledge -- not the B.S. you spew.

She and Dawn asked legit questions.  Ones that many wonder about.  They deserve constructive answers.
 Not all high prey dogs are great around kids nor small animals, we only have to read the many problems people write to Leerburg about to know that.
