Not a problem... my son, a teenager as well, is only concerned with football and girls. Ask him to help me with kennel and he smiles and says he's busy and he's one who grew up in a kennel environment, sitting in a carrier as in infant, on a table while I taught my classes. So, learn all you can from your aunt, but seek out other pros in other areas of training and take a little from them too. I believe you're getting "attacked" for your opinion because you've come across in a rather negative manner in a few posts. (Remember, you're talking to some breeders, trainers and handlers on occassion, also with teenagers your age, so we're going to bite back. ha!) I have no need to critisize what I know is simply your opinion... but word it differently, do a little more homework, and I bet you'll have more challenging and respectful debates. Want any info on serious behavioral studies in German/American working breeds? Are you familiar with Nordlicht sheps.? They were my first experience in GSDs'. Have interesting info for you whenever you want it. Goodnight!!
