Nah dont worry about derailing the thread. I love my boy
and yes we have worked with several trainers; private and groups. I have him under full control and he is very obedient. His prey drive is thru the roof, so much so that if a stranger is around he doesnt care, he WANTS that ball (well his fave is his frisbee lol) you can offer him any food item but if that frisbee is around, forget it, he WANTSSSS that frisbee.
And while i do have FULL control over my dog while in public, he is fine walking thru crowds etc. i do muzzle him because many people dont have control of themselves or their kids, no dog should ever be approached without asking the owner/handler first. Or heaven forbid someone with some kind of disability that wouldnt understand no touch pops out of no where, I know my boy is always safe.
So by me making sure he cant bite someone who doesnt have dog sence... i am protecting him in the long run.
I did orginally plan on breeding him, had his hips and elbows OFA'd and he is DM negative but unless i knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that they would go to serious working dog homes, i will not breed him.
