   Pete, when you use the word "they" to whom do you refer?  There are   
   Schutzhund clubs all over the world.  Some are strictly German Shepherds,   
   but there are many that are not breed specific.  Dobermans, Bovier,   
   Malinios, Schnauzer, Rottweiler are just a few of the breeds active in the   
   SChutzhund sport.  There have also been Border Collies, Boxers, Australian   
   Shepherds, Standard Poodles, and even a Corgi as participants.   
      
   Schutzhund is intended to test the working qualities of the dog - and that   
   encompasses more than just protection.
