The sport of Schutzhund includes three phases; tracking, obedience and protection. In competition, the dog must pass all three phases to receive a title. Schutzhund training begins when the dog is quite young. Drive building is a major factor in training as are genetics and temperament. More information is available on our Schutzhund Club website www.dhpkschtuzhund.com Nirro is my first German Shepherd and first schutzhund dog He purchased for me by my friend Robert. Robert had been involved in the sport since the 1980's and wanted me to be able to train and compete in schutzhund along with him. When Robert went to pick out a puppy, all I asked for was a dog that was correct in structure and didn't look like the typical black and tan, Rin-Tin-Tin. Nirro was not exactly an attractive pup, but he has matured into a large, handsome, impressive dog with a wonderful temperament and powerful, deep grips. Sadly we never received his registration papers from the breeder despite many requests.
