What are the limits of a sports-centric selection?<\/h3>\n

Disciplines such as ring, the mondioring, the IGP<\/a> or tracking have helped preserve certain qualities of the German Shepherd: commitment, obedience, flair, reactivity. They have their usefulness and their interest, far from us to deny it. But a selection exclusively oriented towards these sports often ends up producing overconditioned dogs, where natural instinct is crushed by training, where aptitude for real life is sometimes secondary.<\/p>\n

French Ring bite puppy Des Crocs V\u00e9ritables 5 Months Old<\/p>\n

Heightened prey instinct, biting that has become a stereotypical reflex, extreme submission, conditioning pushed to the limit... so many traits which, while useful in competition, in no way guarantee a balanced dog in everyday life.<\/p>\n

Moreover, it is often confused between the titles won by the team behind the dog and the dog's ability. Simply adding two champions together is not enough. Genetics works in a more subtle way; in our opinion, a more comprehensive approach is required.<\/p>\n

We can therefore sometimes favor less titled dogs, but whose instincts we can test for a variety of reasons and whose qualities are concretely verified: in security, in detection, in herds or in real guarding and who remain reliable in the family.<\/p>\n

It is these dogs, effective without artifice, that interest us.<\/strong><\/p>\n
