Samba, In regards to your comment from Koos...oldtimers refer to dogs that bite and are just holding on as "Finding comfort in the sleeve"". They will grip and hold on for dear life. Often they will grip very hard and many handlers and even trainers think this is a very hard dog. WRONG! Dog shows no dominance of his situation. Dog is really weak nervewise, but has the prey drive to give the good bite and impression of strength. When that dog has to release and sit underneath the bad guy awaiting the next command you will see signs of the unsureness. These are the type of things that Sch used to test for and people could see the dogs that were good for owning and the ones that were good for breeding. There is a difference, yet today you ee many of these dogs in Sch and then we wonder why the protection part of the Seiger show is so pitiful. Because people are breeding these dogs even though their strength of character is suspect.
