Bite Work????

Agree with you 100% im glad you allready said it so i dont have to type it.

 

im trying to get in to SCH right now, im gonna do the ob and tracking but not the bite work

 

There is no doubt in my mind that they would be and are plenty capable of this kind of work, no doubt whatsoever..
My concern is how this looks to the general public and even law makers...
If the GSD or others had the SAME rep. as the APBT I would still feel the same.
JMO..

 

This is the best site to find info on all the different types of training involving bite work. This man knows what he is talking about and there is so much good info here, it would take you months to get through it:

I used to be greatly opposed to using APBTs in any sort of bitework, be it PP or SCH. Not necessarily because I felt that it would make the dog "aggressive", but because of the negative image it portrays. However, after having the pleasure of meeting a few PP-trained APBTs and talking with their owners, I have changed my views. SCH is now something I wish to get into in the future.

The trainining that goes into these dogs is intense, and anything less than a truly temperamentally-sound bulldog will not make it.

While I still agree that it can send out a bad image, so can many other things, paticulary hog hunting and even weight pull. And let's be honest, at most bitesport trials, John Q. Public is not there. Most of the pictures taken are only posted on dog-specific sites, where a detailed description of what the dog is doing is included. I am all for breaking stereotypes, but if someone is willing to put the time, training, and heart into their dog to train it for any sport... Then I a'int gonna stop them.
