PM just so you know, I don't do sport either. There are many facets of training that cross over between sport and more real life things- even your video showed that. Where in real life is a sleeve used- it's not. But you have to use something to train the dog and see if it has the tools/temperament to do the job you want it to do.
Again, why would I want to come up and take a live bite from your dog? I wouldn't take a live bite from a piece of junk GSD either, it's stupid to even suggest that. Yeah, I'm going to drive 500 miles up there to let your dog bite me? I already said, I know that your dogs are good, so why do you keep pushing it.
You asked me to admit when I'm wrong- I'll gladly do that when I am wrong, and I've done it many times in the past. In the case of the video of the CAS biting, I'll stand by my point that it was crappy bitework. I imagine anyone else on this board who has ever done bite work before will agree with me. I will also stand by my point that the obedience was sloppy. I don't understand why you can't see that. I'm not insulting your personal dogs, I'm making an observation based on my own experience. Don't change the game like Pops said, and say that the CAS has a "natural deep full bite" and then dance around when your video clip shows a dog that is nipping and letting go of the sleeve.
ACampbell- great point- if you want to show your breed to the best of your ability, why post a video of a dog that is not biting well? I'm sure there are better examples out there. Even PM's pic of her own dog biting was good- nice full bite, proper place on the sleeve.
