My german shepard (DEA) is the big baby, thats scrared of bikes. I've been trying to take her out in the woods more. She likes it a lot. She still has a fear of deep water though. My goal is to teach her to finds sheds. An article I read earlier this month said his best shed dog was hispitbull. It can be done. I think I can teach her to bird hunt. She's always out in front sniffing the ground running back and forth. She's followed some bird scents beforre through the brush. So maybe?
