I guess the pup school interview yesterday went well. Sounds like the trainer is open to not doing full Schutzhund but just the working and obedience portions (not the protection). That'd be good since neither Kim nor I are fully comfortable with owning a loaded gun with a mind of it's own and the responsibility and additional devotion to training that would entail.
Trainer thinks he's got great drive, and they did a scent drill and he NAILED it with zero wait or hesitation.
We found titan's litter through a coworker I Kim's who has two Shepherds, the older of which competes and the younger who is training. He's an army vet dog handler and his older dog Zeus was his working dog in the sandbox I guess. I've not met them yet, the younger female picks on Titan pretty badly but obeys when scolded. I guess he returned this by humping her leg and running away. Haha
