So when it comes to dogs and GSDs, what level does it appear I am on? Level like Beginner, Amatuer, Novice, Expert, etc.

I'm asking because months ago, I didn't know anything. I favored feeding Purina Puppy chow, raw hide bones, and didn't know anything much. So I made this thread because I am curious to what level I seem to be on when it comes to GSDs and dogs.

I believe I have learned a lot, but I see sometimes in threads when I try to help others, other members will correct something I told the OP wrong.

I'm sorry I made this thread. I guess I just wanted someone to say to me "You've made an improvement".

You're doing fine, except for a bad case of puppyitis. When is it thay you intend to get your first shep?

May or June of 2011. That's if the breeding is successful. I'm glad I came to this forum, and I do have some experience with dogs. I have used a clicker, fed Blue Buffalo and saw the results, little stuff like that. However, I am only experienced in keeping outside dogs and not a bit of experience with inside dogs. My first GSD will be my first inside dog.

I definitely agree that owning a dog, whether you are a breeder, handler, or owner, is forever a learning experience. My last dog would do the "Down" command when I gave the "Sit" command. I learned then that she had not fully understood the "Sit" command or maybe it only confirmed what someone else told me, that female dogs may try to do a trick a different way.
