Any national language is okay. Some Chinese...Yes. Any national language is okay. Some Chinese family up in Montana has one of Wiski's brothers. I've never met them, but the parents are fantastic trainers and their 12 or 10 year old daughter is training him. She works him in Chinese. I was told by friends who saw them train that the sports dog world needs to watch out for that little girl in a few years :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04171535332663334482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204129228487137648.post-59277395225701764702008-12-23T14:04:00.000-07:002008-12-23T14:04:00.000-07:00Ha!

Fortunately, I've never had one of those nicknames that repeat the same character twice :) <BR/><BR/>I think if I have another dog years down the road, I might work him in Chinese instead of German or Bulgarian. The last exercise in a Schutzhund 1, 2, or 3 Obedience routine is the "send out" where after a heeling build-up, the handler points and commands the dog to "go out / voraus" and the dog runs out with full speed like there's no tomorrow and straight like an arrow for seemingly no purpose at all, until he gets to 40-50 yards away when the handler will voice-command him to down which he has to do IMMEIDATELY. Think about how powerful that command will sound for the "go out" - "POW!!!!!" (pao3)!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04171535332663334482noreply@blogger.com
