I know that a Belgian Malinois got a JH Title as well as several personal protection titles SchH, FR etc. I agree with most comments if you find the right temperament in any dog you could do it with he correct training. I would look at the Chessie breed if you are looking at "Hunt Breeds". I have tr...

In my mind they are the same breed, maybe different types. The potential issue I see with DK's in the US is that unless they continuously import, the gene pool is going to shrink and shrink, which is not good for any breed. I'm all about genetic diversity. I don't like that they will dual register ...

The DK is larger on average, bigger boned and still expected to be an all rounder for the foot hunter from feather to ...
