Schutzhund
training is almost unknown among Boxers, other than on the Continent.
It is most widespread in Germany, where the number of Boxers in
Schutzhund training is only exceeded by German Shepherd dogs.
So what is Schutzhund training? It entails what most would understand
as obedience training, along with attack and hold training as
required by police dog handlers, plus tracking.
Obviously,
the temperament of the Boxer has to be top notch to have any hope
of achieving the accolade of passing his Schutzhund training and
temperament is held in the highest regard to most Continental
breeders to the extent that markings matter very little in their
breeding programme. Not only do the Continental Boxers have an
overall better temperament (IMHO) the added bonus of their lines
is that they produce very few white puppies.
These
extracts of Boxer Dogs on the Continent, taken around the mid
nineteen eighties, have been substantially reduced in quality
to download quickly, in the hope that you can at least enjoy the
flavour of the originals.
