*I did try to search the forums but I never seem to be able to find anything with search functions on boards...*
I've been interested in these dogs for a few years now. Never met a bad one - but I've only met 3. Can anyone tell me about these dogs? Good, bad and ugly? I am hesitant because I wanted my next dog to be AKC with a longer history but I just cannot support some of the breeds because I do not like where they are going/politics/etc... I do want a breed with a purpose. Whether it is service work, field trials or obedience/agility. And I want to be actively involved with that breed.
I've heard about the politics and a split in the Shiloh Shepherd breeders... but mainly from only one side and I am curious to know about the other side's view. But perhaps that is not good for a public forum...
Thanks in advance!
