The working line GSDs typical characteristics include; “High Drive”; “Exceptional temperament”; “bullet proof nerves” and “physical soundness”. Once we became interested in the working line GSD, we soon discovered “Schutzhund” Dog Sport now more commonly known as IPO. This was developed in Germany in the early 1900s as a breed suitability test. The test would determine if the dog displayed the appropriate traits and characteristics of a proper working German Shepherd, this combined with the relevant health tests would be enough to determine which dogs should be bred from.
