Police Dogs "Bite Anything"
Quite some time ago, I had a conversation with a DDR breeder I was considering. They are not a kennel that works their dogs (they purchase breeding stock already titled or send them out to be titled). I asked this breeder if any of her pups go to work in the police force and they said,
"oh NO. None of them! Those people want a dog who will bite ANYTHING and I won't breed for that!" Thoughts on this statement?

I agree it is crazy. I had no response to it. But why on earth would a breeder even say this?

"Why would a breeder even say this?":

This is a big issue with many breeders who don't work their own dogs: they do NOT understand temperament and drives.

This is like a "breeder" website I saw. They were saying that they maintain the working drives of the dogs they breed by evaluating their tug play.
No, they won't do Schutzhund or any bite-training because they have a young child, and teaching their dogs to bit is to much of a risk - but they can tell everyting they need to know about their dogs by playing tug with them. In other words - they just admited that their dogs are are too unstable for bite work. How very reassuring!
