Nekhbet Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 its such a great sport, many dogs overseas like aussie shepherds, terriers and labs do it. Pity Australia sees it as making vicious dogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with you Nekhbet. Like as if dogs need to be taught to bite!! Australia (especially Victoria) have it the wrong way around. The sport of Schutzhund makes for a safer dog. And the discipline behind the sport makes for more disciplined handlers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesmaam Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I like this one. Mr Murphy Any FCI recognised breed is allowed to train and compete in IPO/ Schutzhund now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesmaam Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Pitty Australia sees it as making vicious dogs! Australia doesn't see it as making vicious dogs; only certain breed clubs and organisations see it that way. The sport is not named in any legislation except for South OZ where it is specifically named as being exempt from the Dangerous Dog Laws and in Victorian legislation where it is specifically named in an exemption to parts of the Dangerous Dog Laws for imported German Shepherds with working titles. In both instances it is named in an exemption and outside of that it is not named anywhere. As it stands, the sport is still freely active in most states and even in Victoria where we see the toughest dog laws, there are still ways around the law to be able to train and compete in the sport.

Nekhbet Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 any dog having done bitework on a man in victoria is deemed to be registered as dangerous. You can do Schutzhund but not the bitework component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesmaam Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) any dog having done bitework on a man in victoria is deemed to be registered as dangerous. You can do Schutzhund but not the bitework component. Or anything attached to somone............ but anyway, yes you can. Having to declare a dog as dangerous does not stop someone doing the bite work component of IPO in Victoria, you just have to comply with the legislation (not that anyone adheres to it down there anyway, but thats another story....). Find me a dog (import or australian bred) that has been declared as dangerous as a result of having IPO titles in Victoria.
