I don't believe I qualify since my dog is a mixed breed - 1/2 German Shepard 1/2 Boarder Collie. She looks like a German Shepard but can catch a freezbe like a Boarder Collie. Anyway its the first dog I've owned (had cats when I was a kid since my Mom is a cat lover) and we obtained Coco from the dog shelter as a puppy. I didn't realize how much I dislike cats after owning a dog.

I don't know what is is with mixed breed dog owners but Coco was the only mixed breed dog at the several sessions of dog training class we attended.

There happens to be a German Shepard club several miles from my house. I believe they offer training and have shows.
