I am beginning to look for a male puppy/dog (preferably past housetraining) that would be suitable for AKC obedience and other possible activities like lure coursing, dock diving, tracking, etc. Depending on the dog, I'm considering schutzhund, too. Yes, I know they changed the name of it. I've always had rescue dogs that wouldn't have worked well competing in public for various reasons. My current dog is a submissive Dogo Argentino pretty lady who had ZERO socialization. If I took her in an obedience ring, she'd have a heart attack, literally. I'm looking for a working breed that's naturally protective like a GSD, dobe, giant schnauzer, or Black Russian Terrier. I am NOT looking for a free dog. My search has revealed to me that there are even more bad breeders than good out there, and I'm having trouble. I'm not in a hurry, as I'd like to get a dog in the summer and have been looking for a year anyway. The parents would have to have had breed-appropriate health testing/Embark. I am looking for the right dog at the right time. A dog that you held back for your program but didn't work out due to a minor flaw, or you already having the genes would be ideal.
Any working dog breeders here??? I'd love to talk.
